How Will Protein Help
Protein is an essential nutrient for those looking for a lean muscle. For muscle maintenance, individuals should increase their protein requirement from 0.8g of protein per kg of body mass per day (g/kgBM/d) to 1-2 g/kgBM/d. Through foods and protein supplements, you can achieve this fairly easily.
The Benefits Of Protein
1. BUILD – Protein helps the development of lean muscle tissue.
2. RETENTION – Protein supports the maintenance of muscle tissue which is key when on a calorie restricted diet.
