Muscle
Building muscle needs a positive energy balance, which means you need to take in more calories than you’re burning. You need around 2,800 calories to build a pound of muscle. You need this to support protein turnover, which can be boosted with training, like weights or martial arts. By following these tips, you can build muscle mass more efficiently. +

Protein powder is a popular supplement that can help to build muscle and recover from injuries quickly.

Reviews
I recently received a whole bunch of inkospor products to review. Readers of my blog will know that I openly don’t take supplements regularly. This opinion seems to drive companies to send me free stuff to test, haha! +

It’s quite ironic that I’m writing this post while on holiday in the Lake District. It’s our first family holiday of the year and I must admit, it crept up on me. The weather so far has been great and we’ve enjoyed visits to Keswick, Buttermere and Aira Force. We love taking photographs to capture our adventures and on the first night we watched the sun go down over Ashness Jetty. +

Over the past couple of years, Mutha Fitness and I have been quite busy in the kitchen. We started off by following recipes, then tweaking them to our own tastes. The first recipe I’d like to share with you today is one of my favourites and it’s for protein brownies! +
Weight Loss
Losing weight is not easy. But putting it on sure is. That’s why obesity has become a global epidemic. It’s also moved many people to get serious about making healthy changes in their lives. +
