A lot of people don't seem to get this but building muscle is an extremely energy intensive process i.e. it takes a lot of calories to build every gram of muscle and a lot to maintain it. You absolutely need to eat a lot of carbs to readily supply this energy. Fats and proteins go through a long process to be converted to glucose and the yield is low so...good luck building muscle on a low carb diet. This is perhaps the most important reason you lose muscle if you don't eat enough. Your body simply doesn't have the energy to maintain it. Extracting energy out of the muscle is only a by-product of starvation NOT a cause of it.
Yeah, tell that to bodybuilders of the golden era which was basically high fat, high protein, low-medium carb approach to bodybuilding. Yet, they all looked massive.
This was great, I have been researching "is pasta good for you bodybuilding" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Piyandon Acclaimed Prepotence - (do a google search ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to say goodbye to your embarrassing manboobs minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
Dude I watched all your videos in 2 days and this is the last one but your knowledge is beyond those who focus their channels on drama and subs.You are awesome
Jeff from Athlean X is good too mate if you like no bullshit straight forward health and fitness. You've probably already heard of him I suppose but just in case check him out.
Except he doesn't know shit about carbs and just vomitted broscience in your face. You respond with, "thank you sir, may I have another." Read my comment above. In one paragraph I provided 20 times the info that he did.
+Fake news,fake tits,real aliens,real sad. - he has pretty biased opinions on proven shit like Keto and Intermittent fasting but I like his channel for good workout/exercise information.
This is exactly right and so simple to understand IMO yet a lot of people don't seem to get it. Bodybuilders are so focused on their macronutrients, they forget about the important stuff: micronutrients. If you want to make some REAL gains (and fat loss) you should be focusing on your micronutrient intake. Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese, and Iron are especially important when it comes to muscle gains and fat loss. I'm a firm believer the body is a natural healer and if you supply it with all the shit that it needs then the gains will come in naturally and the fat will also go away at the same time.
You can just take them in supplementary form though calorie free ? Also fat loss is from calorie deficit, no micronutrient is just gonna magically melt body fat
If I'm going for weightloss I make whole boiled potatoes my carb choice. Nutrient dense, high volume, moderate fiber, tons of electrolytes, and is ranked #1 on the satiety scale (how filling a food is vs how many calories it is). I add some hot sauce and seasonings/spices which add flavor without any added calories. I drink milk for protein with it and to help wash the potato down. Alternatively I'll just boil potatoes in a little rich stock and eat the potatoes and stock since the stock adds flavor, nutrients, protein, and almost no calories. Potatoes are insanely nutritious and extremely low calorie for their volume if they're boiled and if you leave the skin on.
Im on a weight loss plan and high GI vs low GI carbs do matter a lot. Keeping insulin level stable, and avoiding spikes makes the diet sustainable. The brain likes high GI carbs and if you give it some, it will want more resulting in a struggle, having to call upon a lot of will power.
Many people say they struggle to eat 0.8g of protein per lb of Bodyweight, but I could easily eat 2g per lb if I wanted to. My problem is I end up eating too much fat when I try to stay under like 90g/day and I’m 50-100g short on carbs and usually don’t feel fully energized during my workouts
Really informative Sean! Been struggling lately as I consume all my proteins fats and calories but carbs are still 100-150g off being complete for end of day.
Don't compare a knowledgeable physical therapist with a broscience guy that doesn't know that there are different carbs that metabolize differently. He's too lazy to google and Jeff has spent his life learning PT.
Next day potatoes will power weightlifting. Plus help microbiome for good moods. Kale smoothie with stevia. This keeps cravings calm. Make a blender potato sauce with blended seasoned veg: zucchini, spaghetti squash, carrot, bell pepper, serrano, radish, celery, cucumber, broccoli, salt, stevia (Over steamed cabbage, potatoes, zoodles) When you want to take some fat try Barleans cold flax oil or quality greek olive oil. Muscles grow with resistance. Focus on that not excessive protein.
idk why u dont got lot of subscribers, i always watch hodgetwins, buff dudes, elliot hulse and many more, and i always end up to ur video sean,.i like the straight to point answer.,keep it up.,idk what to do if u dont do any videos.,thanks a lot!
you should choose your carbss carefully because there are carbs that take less time to get into your blood and others will go straight into your blood excellent video keep going
Not exactly "a carb is a carb" because not all carbohydrate is all converted in glucose. Sacarose (simple sugar) is the combination of two carb molecules: glucose and frutose. Your body can't convert frutose directly in glycogen as does with glucose. So, sacarose in general is the worse source choice for sugar. So sweet drinks, ice cream, regular cookies, are no good also.
If am wrong please correct me Sean. People actually don't choose what to eat. I mean we get fat because we get high fats and carbs together. If we don't count protein we must make a decision between carbs and fats. Variations 1- Protein stays the same , high carb, low fat "healthy"(not less than 50gr for our hormones ) 2- Protein stays the same , low carb, high fat If we do one of those everything is ok , you can eat bread, no sugar pancakes , wraps shortly what people actually say that are bad carbs. Just track your calories and macros. That's it ! Regards ;)
Carbs are broken down into glucose except for fruit. Fruit is broken down into fructose which does not get stored in muscle as glycogen. It gets stored in the liver so is not that helpful for muscle growth.

Sean Nalewanyj hey Sean, thanks for the video. I was at 206lbs and lost weight very quickly on a ketogenic approach last year. Went down to 150lbs, and was lean, but caught myself just in time when I was starting to get skinny fat. Keto made my strength go down a lot in the gym, and I had a lot of issues lifting with intensity. I switched to flexible dieting early this year and my strength went way up. Problem is, I know it’s a calorie equation mostly, but I think my body just has a very hard time losing body fat with a higher carb approach. I notice that I am strong, but at a crawl with fat loss. I’m thinking of replacing my rice for cauliflower rice or lowering my carbs again. I just don’t want to remove them completely again or I will get strength issues again. Point I’m making is I wonder if some people just do better with weight loss with keto than others. Who knows!
Hey Sean, thank you SO much about all that info, but i got a Q. Well 2 actually 1. What if im taking a multivitamin supplement? Can i be more flexible with my diet (not totally IIFYM but more flexible) since i get lots of micros from the multiV? 2.Is honey a good postwo carb source? Spread in white bread or a white flour tortija, since they both have high GI. And a scoop of whey ofcourse. Thanks!
I'd still recommend the 80/90% "clean" figure despite using a multi. Honey is fine - it's not "good" or "bad" - there is no necessity for high GI carbs post w/o.
Hey Sean good stuff as always. Can you make a video covering the keto diet? I've heard a lot of good things about it and wanted to get your take on it. Thanks!
Why does everyone suggest eating fiber? its literally the only thing that the body does not break down. Also starches are only absorbed after we break the starches down(cooking). So in nature we would try to remove part of the plant that cannot be absorbed.
Sean, why is it important to uptake micronutrients via whole foods rather than simply getting the vitamins you need through multivitamins or other supplements?
There's no hard consensus on multis as to how much is exactly absorbed, if the benefits are equal to whole foods etc. I still use one but for me it's just nutritional insurance and not something I rely on.
It does matter, though. There's enough sugar in one Coke to shut down one's immune system for the whole day. I gave up Cokes and improved my diet. Used to have colds and flu constantly. Haven't been sick, not even a headache, in years now.
Why not buy a Mockmill and get your whole grain, almost all B vitamins, Vitamin E, extra protein AND carbs in anything and everything carbs whether it be bread, cookies, pancakes, biscuits, rolls, or donuts. It’s very high in fiber. It is a known fact that the more carbs you eat the higher the thiamine requirement.
Can I just get my carbs from fruit, vegetables, corn, legumes and sometimes oatmeal? Since those are minimally processed. Do I still need to eat rice, noodles and bread?
Good luck trying to eat 3g/kg or plus without cereals. If your problems is the glicemic index, pair with proteins to lower it, and rice is actualy pretty solid for your health, not much carbs per g
@@davyddocarmocabral2989 thanks for the tips. Yes I have been watching more fitness nutrition videos. They also recommend ending protein with sugars/carbs to reduce spikes so I'm eating carbs again just not as much as I used to.
If you have low carb low protein you workout low energy recuperate no muscle gain average 50-60% carbs 25% protein 15-20% fats next calories per day how much you burn
What about the very old argument of fruits vs starches? Lot of people say fruits replenish only liver glycogen while the starches replenish muscle glycogen. So you can't have the bulk of your carb intake from fruit... is this true? 40-50% of my carb intake is from fruit...
Think of fruit as right now energy. Starch is great for muscle glycogen, or your stored cell energy. Starch turns to glucose usually, 80% of which is stored in muscles ect, fructose is 80% stored in the liver. If you eat a lot of it and don't burn it, significantly more will be converted to fat. Spread your fruit out and or eat it mostly before or after exercise. If you dont think you will burn it in a few ours, go for starch.
I just wanting say I love you no homo.just saying you have helped me so much you have no idea I feel like a owe you money for all your advice.your great person I wish you the best in life.
so for example if i dont feel like eating my rice meat meal because its way too filling, could i in theory eat my breakfast again, i can always get oatmeal and eggs down, just wash it down every morning
thanks bro. I am 420 pounds and have been lifting for 2 years. I lifted hardcore and ate what I wanted anytime. Recently, I have began to cut all fat from my diet and invest in nuts, salads, lemon juice, milk, rice, or low fat beef jerky. In 4 days people say I appear to have lost 20 to 40 pounds
good stuff man! I eat a box of pasta with olive oil and parm everyday, then fruits, bananas etc...throw in a cliff bar, and some yogurt. It's all about being conscience about what you're putting in your bod! no?
Great vid. But high Glycemic Index simple carbs have their place. After a 5 mile hike, gummy bears would be a much better option than something like sweet potatoes (complex/slow digesting). Gummy bears would provide immediate Glucose. Input?
Hey my Uncle said that pasta and potatoes are the only carbs that would make me gain muscle most effectively, but I don't eat those food, however I do eat oats, sweet potatoes, beans, lentils, chickpeas, brown rice and white rice. Can anyone explain anything about that?
I was taught all this stuff in first year school maybe we were the only ones taught this or maybe all the fat unhealthy kids were daydreaming about cake at the time
Ok, you didn't really specify how any of these micronutrients that you may/may not get from carbs helps in muscle building in any way.... And who's to say that the same micronutrients aren't already attained by the protein sources and vegetables that I eat.
From the first sentences, you were already wrong my guy All carbs are not broken down into glucose, fiber is a type of carb isn’t broken down into glucose ;)
One point worth mentioning for those with food addiction issues. Anything high in sugar (chocolate, sweets, cookies etc) are a trigger. One bite of chocolate and 1 hour later you're eating a whole tub of ice cream. So theres a mental component to include for some people.
Hey Sean, for a six day workout week with over an hour to train what type of schedule would you recommend? I was thinking Chest/Tris, Back/Bis, Legs, Shoulders, And last two days always rotating between large msucle groups. Ex Chest, Legs & Back. Thanks!!!
Sean Nalewanyj Okay thats perfect, Thank you so much. Your content is amazing. Definitely buying your book very soon that way I know how to go about doing Push/ Pull workouts and I'm not just throwing random stuff together.
I wonder if I can write a question here: I'm interested in building a classic. My question is, are there any weighed ab exercises I can do to build abs yet maintain a slim waist?
I eat 1 banana a protein shake, pasta and tuna and 2 egges after my workout of cours not all at the same time, is this good for bulking up , please respond? ??
So Gummy Bears with an A-Z vitamin and mineral pill then. Damn, still no fibre. Actually, because I prefer to eat more sweet, desert type foods, what I usually do is make protein bars with oats, flaxseed, cacao and dried fruit, as well as eating a lot of fresh fruit, although I do still supplement with an A-Z vitamin and mineral pill, just to make sure I'm getting everything.

Comparing brown rice and wheat flour; (there is no difference)
Wheat Flour 100gr
364 Calorie
Protein : 10.3gr
Carbs: 76.3gr
Fats: 1gr
Fibers: 2.7gr
Brown rice 100gr
370 Calorie
Protein : 7.9
Carbs: 77.2
Fats: 2.9
Fibers: 3.5
Carbs are broken down into glucose except for fruit. Fruit is broken down into fructose which does not get stored in muscle as glycogen. It gets stored in the liver so is not that helpful for muscle growth.
When you mentioned gummy bears, I was literally popping some. haha
Gummy bears don't build muscle
Fatass.
Holy fuck, calm the fuck down you virgins
Technically, gummies bears are a form of collagen. Not a bad candy compared to other candies.
Kudos Sean. Constantly a fantastic source of applicable and concise information 👍

Sean Nalewanyj hey Sean, thanks for the video. I was at 206lbs and lost weight very quickly on a ketogenic approach last year.

2.Is honey a good postwo carb source? Spread in white bread or a white flour tortija, since they both have high GI. And a scoop of whey ofcourse.
Thanks!
I'd still recommend the 80/90% "clean" figure despite using a multi. Honey is fine - it's not "good" or "bad" - there is no necessity for high GI carbs post w/o.
You got a video explaining that? Cuz i always read otherwise! Thanks!!!
Great video as always brother. Very informative, yet concise and understandable!
Thanks a lot Scott, appreciate it.
Hey Sean good stuff as always. Can you make a video covering the keto diet? I've heard a lot of good things about it and wanted to get your take on it. Thanks!
It's crazy cuz he looks much bigger here than he does now.
Why hasn't there been a new video here since late last summer 2023? 😢
I know micronutrients are important for health in general but how important are they for muscle growth specifically?
EXTREMELY important. You can’t even recover or perform as well when micronutrient deficient. Sleep quality will be worse too. Only negatives
A healthy lifestyle is something you refine over time - not overnight
You deserve 5 million subs
Why does everyone suggest eating fiber? its literally the only thing that the body does not break down. Also starches are only absorbed after we break the starches down(cooking). So in nature we would try to remove part of the plant that cannot be absorbed.
loved your channel bro because u all ways keep it real no bull
Thanks Sumeri!
The only veggies I like are collard greens string beans corn turnips tomato juice(from can of tomatos) but not tomatoes all from a can.

Bethesda Boy the fibre slows the absorption of the fructose down, so eating whole fruits are the best way to go.

I was taught all this stuff in first year school maybe we were the only ones taught this or maybe all the fat unhealthy kids were daydreaming about cake at the time
Ok, you didn't really specify how any of these micronutrients that you may/may not get from carbs helps in muscle building in any way....
And who's to say that the same micronutrients aren't already attained by the protein sources and vegetables that I eat.
From the first sentences, you were already wrong my guy
All carbs are not broken down into glucose, fiber is a type of carb isn’t broken down into glucose ;)
One point worth mentioning for those with food addiction issues. Anything high in sugar (chocolate, sweets, cookies etc) are a trigger. One bite of chocolate and 1 hour later you're eating a whole tub of ice cream. So theres a mental component to include for some people.
the weak minded
cbappa2 Maybe, but consider many fatties lose weight and end up running marathons. Unless you've been addicted you wouldn't know.
Yep good point - that's a topic for a whole other video.
Da Do i
White rice and white pasta is too good
Love this man...keep posting sir!!
There are three forms of simple sugars, not just one. Glucose, fructose, and galactose. A carb is not a carb.
Good on ya mate , nice , simple & sweet info !
great video! love how detailed you are without making it overly complicated.
Thanks Josh.
Thanks for the video Sean learnt a lot :)
Glad to hear man
Very clearly explained. Thanks
Hey Sean, for a six day workout week with over an hour to train what type of schedule would you recommend? I was thinking Chest/Tris, Back/Bis, Legs, Shoulders, And last two days always rotating between large msucle groups. Ex Chest, Legs & Back. Thanks!!!
I'd just do legs/push/pull/legs/push/pull.
Sean Nalewanyj Okay thats perfect, Thank you so much. Your content is amazing. Definitely buying your book very soon that way I know how to go about doing Push/ Pull workouts and I'm not just throwing random stuff together.
I wonder if I can write a question here: I'm interested in building a classic. My question is, are there any weighed ab exercises I can do to build abs yet maintain a slim waist?
Maintaining a slim waist is just a product of keeping your overall body fat % down.
Look up the exercise called vacuums. It is about all you can do save lowering body fat.
Good info. Keep it up!
Awesome video... Thank you so much.
And I was hoping I can just eat cake and cookies all day long hahahahaha
Another great video well done
Thanks for great info. You're so humble unlike other fitness icon/ guru. More power and God bless!
I eat 1 banana a protein shake, pasta and tuna and 2 egges after my workout of cours not all at the same time, is this good for bulking up , please respond? ??
'is butter a carb?' - Regina. 'Yes' - Cady.
Top tier content. Sub well deserved
I can't believe he did not mention anything about insulin which is everything when comes down to fat storage
Lol may god bless you
How many grams of carbs is too much carbs? I’m currently 25 180lbs 5’10 and workout 4x a week. My daily carb intake is currently 355g
Are rice cakes good for bulking? Or do they have too little carbs? They are 50 calories per quaker cake
Great vid as always so helpful!
Thx for watching.
So Gummy Bears with an A-Z vitamin and mineral pill then. Damn, still no fibre.
Actually, because I prefer to eat more sweet, desert type foods, what I usually do is make protein bars with oats, flaxseed, cacao and dried fruit, as well as eating a lot of fresh fruit, although I do still supplement with an A-Z vitamin and mineral pill, just to make sure I'm getting everything.
Nice, that sounds good. And yeah, for me a multi just nutritional insurance and not something to rely on.
Dave’s killer bread my dudes, them whole grain bagels my dudes. I’ve put you on, you’re welcome.
thanks man, i was really damn worried about the glycemic and shet even tho i eat healthy as fuk
and buckwheat also a great source of carbs
A boiled potato vs a banana, which one is the better choice as a post workout meal to spike insulin levels?
How about the effect refined sugar ,(FAST ACTING CARBS ), have on your hormones , ie insulin ?
