Well, in a nutshell, weights are the catalyst for muscle growth, and protein is what muscles need for growth. So you have to feed them protein...quality protein. Such as chicken, eggs, tuna, lean meats of any kind and if you can afford it a good protein supplement. Carbs are your glycogen, your fuel. Without adequate carbs, it will soon be like running you car on fumes. Now, the types of carbs are a whole different animal. This does not mean white bread and sugar(basically the same thing anyway). You want useful carbs, brown rice, fibrous veggies, sweet potatoes. You really need to do a research on more, because in this type of forum you are really asking way too much to be explained here. There are a ton of good sites, and I am sure someone will respond with some they have found. Calorieking.com is a good one to check all calorie counts of any food, and you can join it too. They will track your progress. Best of luck...metabolism....this will require much more space also just in itself.
