Check this site, mate http://www.ais.org.au/nutrition/FactProtein.htm To grow muscles, the best way is to have a balance diet. Protein is important but is also usually over-emphased. The primary body fuel is carbohydrate. If you do not eat enough carbohydrate, your muscle will use up the protein as an energy source. It is very bad for gaining muscle mass. In fact, we do not need that much of protein everyday. The protein buffer in our body is prettily small. Eat more CHO instead. (And also search for Gycaemic Index) Good luck. ChopMan |

Most bodybuilding literature recommends 1gram (1000mg) of protein per pound of lean body mass to sustain an anabolic state. Therefore if you are 200lbs with 15% bodyfat then your lean body mass is 170lbs. Therefor it is recommend you intake (split between 5 to 6 meals a day) 170 grams of protein daily. The second part of your question is too vague to accurately answer. You must first understand that building a muscle or increasing its size is accomplished only when the cell wall of the muscle cell thickens. No additional muscle cells are created. It does this in response to workload. You also have fast and slow twitch muscle fibers and the relative combination is determined by genetics. Sprinters will have much more fast twitch than slow twitch and vice versa for powerlifters. So depending on what your combination is will determine what a specified amount of work will have on muscle growth. There are ways to determing how much fast twitch to slow twitch you have by performing a lifting test. According to the literature, generally repetitions between 6 to 10 * 3 sets has the most effect in building the most mass in muscle tissue. Although everyone is different...for instance the once Mr. Olympia Dorian Yaters performed only one set per body part and was huge! I also know a guy who is about 260 that bench presses with 50 lb dumbells at a very slow pace. It really depends on you! |

33 grams per pound. The best bet is to have a diet high in protein, complex carbohydrates such as rice,(stay away from pasta its proccessed) and on or below 30% of your diet should come from fat such as olive oil or any plant based fat. Fat is important in keeping your cells healthy and mobile. Without it every thing stops. If you cut too much fat your body will hoard every bit you give it and you will never loose it. Salt is also important. Sodium is neccesary for the digestion of protein, if you do not take in the appropriate amount of sodium with the increase of protein you will not be able to grow the muscle. And, no there is not salt in everthing we eat. Sometimes you have to make a concious choice to add it to your diet. Halibut is a good source of salt, shell fish, and of couse: SeaSalt. Keep your cardio vascular activities up and the oxygen flowing. Get Big!! |

Protein is important but is quite overemphasized by the supplement companies. If you take in too much protein, you will find yourself going to the bathroom too often, as your body is excreting it as waste. Carbs are probably more important than protein, as well as monounsaturated fat (olive oil, peanut butter, nuts). But more importantly, be sure not to overtrain. Most bodybuilders copy the routines they find posted in bodybuilding magazines. Those routines are for steroid users (steroids allow for longer, more intense workouts and minimize recovery time). Long high-set routines are gross overtraining for a natural bodybuilder. Keep your workouts short, but intense and allow your muscles at least a week to heal before working them again. Even if you lose soreness in a muscle group, this just means that the recovery process has ended. The body still needs time for muscle growth, so don't hit each muscle as soon as they seem to "heal". |
