NUTRITION FOR SOCCER PLAYERS: TACTICS FOR BUILDING MUSCLES |
It’s September already … a time when soccer players are always hankering to be more powerful. Most soccer players want to have strong muscles to be more powerful, help prevent injuries, and yes, to look buff. They wonder: What can I eat for more muscle, strength, and power?
Questions arise about the best ways to add muscle mass:
- How much protein should I eat to build more muscle?
- How many additional calories does my body need to build muscle —but not gain fat?
- Where should the calories come from: carb, protein, fat?
- When should I eat the additional calories?
