the best way to build muscle is to eat extra protein. false or true?!
Question:
Answers:
False.
In order to gain muscle, you must consume more calories than you burn. If eating extra protein does not give you this caloric excess, you will not gain any muscle.
If you are in a caloric excess, then extra protein will help. Try to consume about 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight.
If you weigh 150, eat around 150 grams of protein a day.
Remember though, to gain muscle, you must eat a caloric excess. Just adding protein won't do it.
Other Answers:
true
Doubt it.Protein alone prolly won't do it, will just add weight. You gotta put the protein to use and work out.
assuming true, but not 100 %
I would go for exercise first.
Exercize and plenty of protein consumption will turn your body into a fat burning machine..I promise.
Stay away from the junk food though or no amt of either of the above will help.
Muscles grow in response to the amount of effort required of them. If the amount of pull required from them is gradually increased then they will gradually grow stronger and bulkier.
Obviously they need materials to build from. This is protein.
As you know, growth is a slow process, so you need only make sure you have a normal supply of protein in your diet - eating large amounts of protein at every meal is pointless. If you did eat too much protein it is a waste of money because your body cannot store it; the excess is converted into two components, one is used as an energy source, the other is excreted in urine.
A diet for growth obviously has more protein in it than a maintenance diet, but there is no need to overdo it!
