So we want our muscles to get bigger, right? (Sure, some of you don’t but this is still good information to know)
In order to make the muscles bigger, knowing what they are actually made of is of utmost importance. I'm not talking about the cell structures here, I mean the real basic building blocks.
Water makes up 75% of lean muscle tissue. This makes sense because water is the majority of the rest of our body too. So maybe getting that 3–4 liters in a day by drinking isn’t such a bad idea after all!
After that we have protein. 18% is very significant. You’ve got to make sure you’re getting enough protein in your diet to satisfy the cellular demands.
Rounding out the rest, we have fat, vitamins, minerals, and some carbs, which all play their part in maintaining healthy muscle tissue.
