`Flow Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 For health I chose to make a diet/guide on how to lose weight and gain muscle - starting from nothing. So far I have these things -1-2 lbs. a week is sufficient -multiply your bodyweight * .9-1.5 to find out how much protein you should be consuming -other stuff, but I want to know if the example hasn't been to a gym/lifting weights will they still gain a decent amount of muscle because they are starting from scratch? LOSING 1 LB
Tango_Oscar Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Scrappy as fuck. I aint doing your homework for you BUT. bodyweight (lbs - make sure you use units) 1 per gram usually. And no. If you haven't been lifting weights or going to the gym they aint gonna put muscle on. Stupid question? :s

Go for 1 lb a week. As tango said, 1g of protein for every pound of weight on you. 150 lbs = 150g Yes. If they're just starting to workout the will see changes. Granted they're dieting right and using correct form the should hopefully see a difference after the first month. @Tango He means will the kid whos training get their newbie gains or build themselves decently.
