When you lift weights, specifically weights that are heavier than what you're used to, you are stimulating muscle growth at the cellular level. However, in order for that muscle growth to take place, you have to supply your body with enough materials for the building process. Imagine trying to add rooms to your house without enough bricks - you wouldn't get very far, would you? The same can be said about trying to build new muscle without giving your body the raw materials it needs.
Obviously one of the critical components in your muscle building diet will be protein. This is not the only thing you should be eating every day, but it is extremely important if you're planning on building large amounts of muscle in the coming weeks and months. Muscle is in fact about 20% protein, so you can see how critical this food is to your plans. (In case you're wondering, water makes up most of the remaining 80% of muscle.) There are some good programs out there that will help you determine exactly how much protein you need each day. They determined this by looking at what you would like to weigh and what your calorie and protein requirements would be. The number varies depending on who you ask, but depending on your weight you may need well over 100 g of protein each day.
Muscle Protein
It may be difficult to get this much protein into your diet. So while most of your calories should come from whole foods, protein powders can provide a good supplement to your weight gain diet plan. You shouldn't rely on the supplements completely, but they can be a great part of a comprehensive muscle building program.
