Everyone thinks added protein means added muscle, but without the added carbs to shuttle the amino acids from the protein into the muscle tissue, the protein is basically useless. Increase your complex carbs in the morning hours. Add about 2 cups of oatmeal to your diet (uncooked, about 4 cups cooked) to your diet between the hours of 7AM to 2PM and also a sweet potato before 2 PM. Believe it or not, you also need to add fat to your diet. Good fat consisting of Omega 3 and Omega 6. Why? This will help your insulin sensitivity also needed to put your body in an anabolic state. Eat your fats after 2PM. Some good sources are fish, flax, and nuts as well as fish oil, flax oil, and natty peanut butter. You should have your protein in pretty equal doses throughout the day. So if you are taking in, say, 200 grams of protein, try to split this up into about 35 g of protein 6 times a day. Do not depend completely on protein supplement. It's a "supplement" and not a "replacement". Try to get your protein from real, lean sources such as chicken and fish as well as lean cuts of steak. Get at least 8 hours of sleep. Sleep replenishes your testosterone levels. Without this hormone, you can't build muscle tissue. It is in the last hours of sleep (hours 6 through 8) that you really hit the deep sleep that will produce the most testosterone. Drink plenty of water. At least 2 liters a day. Maybe even 3 or 4. Why? Water is used in conjunction with the carbs to shuttle the amino acids to the muscle tissue. Finally, hit the weights HARD. None of that "count to 10 reps" crap. Go to failure. You have to go past the pain and keep going when your body is telling you "no more". It is in this state that the body is saying "Hey, maybe I need to build some more muscle because this guy is crazy and I don't want to go through this pain anymore." Hope this helps.
