           The article I chose is on protein cycling for athletes.  The article starts by explaining what cycling is and what it means in carbohydrate consumption.  In the past, body builders have used carbohydrate cycling as a way of gaining weight faster than normal.  The article takes a few paragraphs to explain what cycling is, and then a few more explaining how to approach cycling.  The article also explains why athletes might employ this method as a way of gaining muscle weight quicker than you would by exercise alone.

           The article even includes stage by stage instructions on what to do to follow the cycling method of muscle gain.  It is an eight day cycle that can repeat as many times as the individual wants.  The article gives you a standard protein equivalent to follow of 1.5 grams for each pound of body weight.  It gives a few links for facts on fat loss and the growth cycle.  The article ends with a sample meal plan for a 180 pound man for stage one and stage two of the protein cycle.  It is a six meal 3161 calorie per day diet for stage one and a six meal 3190 calorie per day for stage two.
