How Much Protein?
By admin | November 18, 2009
Nobody wants to waste their money with protein shakes and figure out a few months later that they were taking it the wrong way. Trust me; I know how frustrating that feeling is when you don’t get your money’s worth. Every individual serious about bodybuilding should know how important protein is for the body and muscles. It should always be taken 20-30 minutes after a workout to help restore the ripped muscle tissue. It is recommended that for every 1lb of body weight you should consume 1.5g of protein. For example: if you were 200lbs than you should include 300g of protein in your diet. The average serving size is 2-3 shakes a day, but every weight class is different. Extra protein does not automatically make extra muscle. In fact, if you eat more protein than your body uses, it will be stored as fat. So be careful and pay attention to what you are doing.
