Optimizing Nutrition and Supplementation for Hypertrophy

🥦Protein intake ranging from 1.6 to 2.4 grams per kilogram of body weight per day is recommended for hypertrophy.

🍎Carbohydrate consumption around training sessions can enhance muscle protein synthesis and recovery.

💪A one-to-one ratio of protein to carbohydrate is generally recommended for strength-focused workouts.

🔥For intense conditioning workouts, a carbohydrate-to-protein ratio of three to four-to-one may be more suitable.

🍽️Whichever meal timing strategy is chosen, it is crucial to meet the total protein and caloric intake requirements for optimal hypertrophy.
