Body Building Muscle

Vitamin Intake For Bodybuilders
When most bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts think of proper nutrition they usually only focus on the macronutrients and caloric intake(i.e.how much protein,carbs,fat,and calories you eat).
While this is a good start and certainly better than nothing,there is a whole other level of nutrition which gets less attention, but is equally,if not more important.Micronutrients(i.e.vitamins and minerals)are critical,not only for your overall health and well being,but for building muscle as well.
Now the easy way out is to simply pop a multi-vitamin and"fuhgeddaboudit"(forget about it).But this simple"Band-Aid"approach is not the best way to deal with your muscle building nutrition.
In fact if you have a micronutrient deficiency you could short change the entire muscle building process and bring your gains in the gym to a screeching halt.Even if you are eating a high calorie diet!
Thanks to the modern invention of processed food,we now live in a society where it is possible to overeat to the extent that one becomes obese(i.e.big as a friggen whale),yet can still be malnourished from a nutrient perspective.
