The More Protein You Eat The More Muscle You Will Build

This is a tricky one. Yes protein is required to build muscle, always is and always will be, BUT just eating more and more protein won't always cause you to keep building muscle. There are MANY other factors that contribute to building lean rock hard muscle.

If you are one of these people that think taking a scoop of protein post workout will solve all your muscle building problems, you couldn't be further from the truth.

Protein is important, but far more important is the PROPER COMBINING of Proteins with other foods. Protein timing is the key to keep building muscle & losing fat (yes this can be done at the same time).

Protein impacts muscle building & fat loss more than anything else, but it's all about the TIMING & COMBINATION of protein with other foods that makes it work like magic.

You will also learn why some proteins are FAR superior choices for building muscle than others. All proteins are not created equal.

  1. Great point about needing to combine protein with other sources. As a certified fitness coach I strongly recommend implementing the 1-2-3 ratio when it comes to your caloric intake. 1 part fat (should come from mostly unsaturated fat most commonly found in vegetables) 2 part protein and 3 part carbohydrates. This is a general guideline. If you are a "hard gainer" you may have to consume anywhere from 1-2 grams of protein per pound. If you weigh 140 then you might have to consume 140-280 grams of protein a day.
