Rules of strength training

Bottom line is more carlories consumed than burned. This doesn't mean eat what you want, though. A good rule is to eat about a gram of protein for every pound of body weight. You want to target LEAN protein sources like chicken breast, legumes, nuts, seeds, soy, and whey. Minimize saturated fat and especially sugar. Also, cut down on carbs, especially simple carbs, so eat plenty of whole grains and vegetables.
