staying lean  #1 LOAD UP ON LOW-FAT CARBS We all know we need to
increase protein and carb intake for muscle growth and recovery
to occur. The daily parameters are 1-1.25 grams (g) of complete
protein per pound of bodyweight and 2.5-3.5 g of carbs per pound
of bodyweight. When pushing the carb envelope into the 3.5 g
neighborhood, switch to fat-free sources of protein, such as
fish, egg whites, protein powders, skinless chicken breasts,
nonfat cheese and nonfat cottage cheese.  #2 DUMP CARBS AS FAT
INCREASES To build trainloads of muscle, add red meat to your
diet. Muscle-building red meat is high in B vitamins and iron.
The need for omega-3 fatty acids -- responsible for enhancing
glycogen formation, retarding muscle breakdown and promoting
hormone production -- mandates eating salmon, steak or flaxseed
oil four days per week. During those steak and salmon days,
lower carb intake to 2.5 g per pound of bodyweight to prevent an
increase in bodyfat.  #3
