A member asked:

What diet should i follow if i want to start weight training?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Healthy diet: you don't state your goals . if muscle building is the desire more protein will accomplish. if weight loss is the desire then just continue to eat healthy diet and you'll lose weight. if your weight training is on a regular basis you might be able to add calories. very individual.
