The main difference between a man and a woman in terms of body building is their metabolism. A woman has a harder time metabolizing fat than a man. Women also have a harder time gaining muscle than men. This is important when choosing a female body building diet to enter into.

You have to stop eating 3 times a day. This is just a waste of potential. You need to eat every 3 hours. The reason is so simple, you’ll think you were stupid for missing it. Your muscles repair every second of every hour. Your body needs the nutrients to repair muscle tissue at all hours of the day. When you wait long periods of time to eat, your body doesn’t have the nutrients to properly repair. By eating more often, your body is always in the position of having what it needs to repair muscle.

The first step you should always take is looking at a persons resume. Anyone can give information on this. Unless they are a professional person that has been working in this area for quite sometime, you may want to avoid them.

The next step is to do proper research. You need to have your own knowledge, so you can judge whether the information you’re getting is correct. The basics would include eating every 2-3hrs, eating larger meals before workouts, eating breakfast, etc. If the advice you’re getting contradicts this, than you’re probably being mislead.

The female bodybuilding diet also requires you to eat a protein and fat combination before bed. Obviously muscle will repair while you sleep and you need to some how keep them with an abundance of nutrients. By eating protein and fat, the digestive process slows down, so the protein is digested slowly throughout the night.

Smaller Meals, More Often: Eating smaller meals more often is probably about one of the most important tasks you should undertake. The amount of muscle you could build is absolutely amazing. The reason you need to do it is because your body doesn’t repair muscle tissue instantly. It takes time. Over that time, your body is in a constant state of muscle repair. Therefore you need to have a constant inflow of nutrients to repair this muscle.

As for the overnight hours, you’re faced with the challenge of needing sleep and nutrients at the same time. Obviously, if you get up to eat, your quality of sleep goes down. If you sleep and don’t eat, you run out of nutrients. The key is to eat a combination of protein and fat before bed, like cottage cheese. The fat slows down the digestive process, so the protein will last long into the night as you sleep.
