Can i make muscles without following diet?

[paulgonzales86]

Hi,
I am a working professional I usually get time to do workout but don't get time to make my diet so, in this case, what should I do? I mean is it possible to make muscles without a diet?

Short answer...Yes. You won't reach a "peak" physique without attention to your diet but training will allow you to grow.

There are A LOT of meal services out there so you don't need to have time to cook.

Even a lil time on the weekends to prep a bunch (or some) simple meals for the week and stick them in tupperwares? Every bit helps

While there's no substitute for solid clean real food, whey protein will help. Still better than no protein.
If you give gainers a try look for something that relies on oats for carbs or aother high fiber sources, avoid anything padded with sugars and maltodextrin as thats a good way to get fat in a hurry.

There is always "time" for your diet.

Question already answered above by mike, but you need to better utilize your meal prep time, or if you eat out, there are ways to handle this. Wake up 15 mins earlier, onto bed 15 mins later, add 30 mins there to preperation.

Prepare more than 1 meal at a time for the next day or two. Grill 4, 5 or 6 chicken breasts for the next day. A full pot of brown rice or white or what ever.

Eating out, ask for grilled veggies, grilled chicken instead of fried, boiled eggs ect ect. Pay attention to condiments, full of shit you don't need, but they are calories if that's what you want.

Keep peanut butter at work for snacks, put onto some triscuits or something.

Point is, if you pay attention to your day and schedule, you can always find ways to improve the diet if you really want too.

For better help it would be beneficial to know your stats and goal. Are you trying to just get stronger, more muscular and defined, just bigger arms, whatever.... but details can help others nail down a better plan for you, give better and more directed advice for your goal and will help you improve where you want to, faster.

You can make muscles without following diet but your hair will fall out.

As long as you are getting enough nutrients/calories to support muscular growth you will grow just fine without adding any supplements. You will probably need 17-21 calories per pound of body weight to grow (depending on your metabolism) and about 0.8-1g/pound of body weight in protein. ALL of this can be acquired through eating whole food.

Eat enough to gain weight and lift heavy weights regularly is really all it takes.

To optimize growth you need to put a little thinking into what you eat (i.e. "adequate" amount of protein). If that's what you call a diet then so be it. You definitely don't need to be on a contest prep diet to get jacked.

Most everyone here is a "working" professional........lol
Oh except myself of course
Eat like an adult with some extra quality protein thrown in I use whey because it is easy and cheap per gram, if you eat FAT oops I mean FAST food you are fucking yourself most of the time.
A pre-contest diet is never needed for adding a bit of muscle.
