Yes protein is very important and there are many sources. I believe that most people are very low in protein intake and are taking in far too many carbs.

I have found in the past that a lot of bad eating will not affect me as long as I am eating the right foods as well and keeping my muscle level high by doing a lot of weight training.

I understand what you’re saying, but you should really aim to get the majority of protein out of whole foods rather than supplements. I have around 2 shakes on a workout day, and 1 on a non-workout day. One in the morning upon waking, and one post workout with some simple carbs.

The rest of my protein comes from milk, eggs, chicken, beef etc.

Thank you for the great information on protein diet. I have heard a lot that high protein diet will cause liver and kidney damages. Would you mind to tell us how can we prevent this from happenning?

Thank you,
Tom

I don’t think the average American has a problem getting enough protein. I think it’s rare to see protein malnutrition in this country. Now, getting enough protein for body building is a different story. I think you must supplement in order to reach a high level of muscle mass. Thanks for the post!

it’s importent not to concume too much protein. Only 30% of your calories should come from proteins.

I’m just getting a bit more into muscle building, after several half-attempts in the past. My problem is that I’m naturally quite skinny and find it difficult to put on a lot of weight. I can easily out-eat most of my friends who are 2 or 3 stones heavier than me, so that isn’t the problem. Thanks for this post, I think I’m going to have to try giving supplements a go to see if I can build more muscle mass.

For building muscle, your body needs clean fats, lean meats, and whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. When you’re cutting or just maintaining the muscle, the body needs less carbs and more lean protein and clean fats. Simple as that.

yes, i have to take some protein, thanks

I like this article, it’s nice information
for health. Protein can also be used to gain weight and the best way to get it is through the combination of both supplements and eating regular food.

Thanks for sharing these info with us!
I will keep in touch with your blogreading..
Stumbled your URL…
have a great day

My favorite ways of getting enough protein are firstly yoghurt, which is so easy to prepare, just have them with blueberries. My other favorite is protein powder, and you can even mix this into the yoghurt - quite delicious! Whey powder is good, as is pea powder (both complete proteins).

I agreem protein is a very useful thing however other people think that steroids and protein is the same thing. My girlfriend has stolen my whey protein and threw it away .

Getting your protein through natural aliments is always best but let’s face it it’s not always possible nor convenient.

I prefer using muscle milk protein. I however stay away from the premade drinks. My friend got sick from them.

i try to eat a lot of protein in my diet.
a good serving of chicken, fish, tuna,
or lean, lean turkey or ground beef is usually good for me.
protein a lot of times comes with a lot of fat,
and that is where it is not good,
but with lean meat, you can’t go wrong.
good post.

Continuing well.
I like the way you write.
A greeting from a English´s student.

One error that almost everybody in gyms has already commited is to relate protein quantity with muscles, without realizing how these concepts are related.

For instance, there are people that ingere daily more than 200 grams of protein. If we consider that a normal bodybuilder can metabolize not more than 150 g daily, the excedent will surely be transformed to fat.

Other error is to consume protein only once or twice a day. Protein should be ingested several times a day, to avoid peaks and depressions in protein level.

protein is key! great post : D

thanks man, your information usefull for me

You definitely need protein. Thats usually the favorite part of my diet anyways.

My favorite way to get protein to snacks and breakfast is with yogurt. Yogurt is rich in probiotics and also is low GI, and has recently been shown to help with fat loss (in combination with exercise). I like the pot set yogurts that have more probiotics and taste a lot better as well. And low GI foods (such as protein rich foods) have been shown to cause less oxidation, including for the skin and collagen, which means younger looking skin and less signs of skin aging as well.

Really if you are going to work out hard whether for muscle or cardio benefits you need the protein. It allows even a long distance runner who wants to remain thin the ability to repair their muscles.

You need about a gram of protein per lb of lean body weight for buidling muscle.

Last fall, I went through a 12 week program to get fit and loose weight. An increase in protein was one of the many changes I made to my diet. I felt quite a bit better as a result. I recommend the use of protein and protein supplements when trying to loose weight or eat smart!- Nate

Great post and thanks for the sharing..

I agreed with comment that should not consume too much protein. We should focus on more fiber and vegetables rather than protein.

We also need to choice vegetable protein rather than animal protein. Animal protein is high in sulfur-containing amino acids which is bad to our health.

Protein is truly an essential part of our growth and development. It repairs our body’s worn out cells and tissues and make new ones. It also plays a major part in pregnancy. It helped me a lot on my diet program. Protein keeps our body going. Some are privileged enough to consume a lot of protein in their daily diets but for those who are deprived for some reasons, their bodily functions are really affected. But we should also be reminded that consuming large amounts of protein sources such as meat might lead to a high cholesterol level and may also affect our kidneys. The recommended servings vary among age groups so it would be best to consult your physician about it. There are thousands of protein sources out there that makes it easy access. Thanks and more power!

Protein supplementation should only be used only after whole foods…i.e. as a supplement.

I’ve learned this once I’ve gone IF+Paleo.

Thanks awfully, I am learning a lot from your blog.

Very useful informations and a great website. I`m running a website too and I will link to your post, great post indeed.

This is really very important for all those who even want to lose weight. many people feel that proteins are for people who want to build their body and not for people who want to lose weight. But intake of proteins will help people to build muscle mass and will in turn reduce the fat because it converts the fat to muscle mass

important information for all especially when so many people across the globe are getting health conscious

Food supplements are usually abused by a lot of people thinking it is a replacement of the real food that they intake. Your post about it enlightens them about this.

Remember all protein is not created equal. There are different types to take at different times of the day. Such as straight Casein or milk protein should be taken at night since it is carb free and slow digesting. While you only want a fast digesting whey protein powder after your workout.

Top Quality protein info. Have to remember to eat the real food too and not rely soley on supplements.

nice post.very useful information.protein is very important.thanks for the post.

great website.very useful.Protein keeps our body going.thanks and more power.

I never paid my attention on supplements before. I am considering to try some supplements.

Protein is very important. Too many people base their intake on the “recommended amount” set by the government.

it’s nice website.protein is very important for everyone.i think, your information usefully for me.thanks for information.

Supplements are what? I see the need for protein to build new cells but don;t I get enough supplements in my multi-vitamin?

It’s good to keep a healthy body and live a healthy lifestyle. In effect, it makes us feel good about ourselves.

Good post for health.Its a nice visit thanks…

I prefer using muscle milk protein. I however stay away from the premade drinks. My friend got sick from them.

I am getting up early every morning to go weight lifting and I would like to make sure that I am doing everything efficiently. I want to start using a protein supplement to build muscle but I don’t know if I should take it before or after the work out. Is it best to use a protein shake? What kind and brand is the best value? I need some good detailed advice.

great article, thanks…

it is very important to getting enough protein while gaining muscles. I had been using protein pills to ensure.

I never follow fitness, because at my town it’s so expensive. But, almost every afternoon I’m jogging at airport, maybe about 3 kilometers.

How to count how much protein i need every day? because sometimes I feel sich at my foot, maybe loss of protein.

Beside egg and meat, what good resourcess for natural protein?

thanks

regards

I don’t think a lot of people realize that they are not getting enough protein. If you are losing weight and not getting enough protein, you might become a skinny fat person.

I respectfully disagree with homeowners insurance I think most people eat enough fish and other foods that are high in protein that they actually have enough protein in their diet.

Thank for the article, even though I prefer natural sourses of protein, supplements are acceptable as long as they are not harmful for your health.

Well I think its true , thanks for the article though !

i do not mind taking supplements…I don’t get what I need for my joints with the food

Proteins are good…But i gave up supplements since I started treatment with tadalafil

Every good blog has two features, they have a very good topic and you see lot of good comments. Its blogging that has made me know new things everyday. I absolutely sure that people in this world have come closer in their personal world. There so many things working for a blog and the topic. Its just a flat world now because of blogs like this one, I appreciate it.

Dan, you are right about Protein. Thats one component that is most required for any weight training program. Great posting.

Supplements are what? I see the need for protein to build new cells but don;t I get enough supplements in my multi-vitamin?

i think that getting protein fron natural sources is better than any other source and supplements

thank u for this useful article .. but i think protein is much better from natural sources

I use weight gainer for protein, af trainging, nice post

Its very important to drink a lot of water if youre going to supplement with protein. Too much protein can be hard on your organs.

i agree that protein is a very important part of building muscle but people should also try to work out how much they actually need for their body size so that they arent getting too much. a good muscle diet goes a long way when trying to put on muscle

My favorite ways of getting enough protein are firstly yoghurt, which is so easy to prepare, just have them with blueberries. My other favorite is protein powder, and you can even mix this into the yoghurt - quite delicious! Whey powder is good, as is pea powder (both complete proteins).

Thank for the article, even though I prefer natural sourses of protein, supplements are acceptable as long as they are not harmful for your health.

They say that 85% of a weight training program is what you eat.

milk gives the more protien and good vitamin, pregnent women should take the milk at the time of the pregnency. it is realy good for the child birth.

This will give you a laugh about some of the possible good and bad side effects when using supplements! lol
