Eat your protein people!

It amazes me how many people do not eat enough protein. People…YOU NEED PROTEIN!!! You need protein to remain healthy, maintain muscle, grow muscle and even to lose weight. If you are not eating enough protein your muscle will just waste away. I could get into scientific terms but I am going to simplify this as I would to a 5 year old.

First, eat more protein. Yes, it is that easy. A rule thumb we go by is that if you are a fit person, you need to eat 1 gram of protein per each pound of body weight to maintain the muscle you already have. So if you weigh 120 pounds, eat 120 grams of protein a day. Quit crying and saying that you can not do that because you can. Quit making excuses. With all the meal replacements and protein powders and protein pills available to you here at www.i-Supplements.com, it is so easy to get your protein intake each day.

If you want to gain more muscle mass the rule of thumb is to eat 1.5 grams to 2 grams of protein per each pound of bodyweight. This gets a bit tougher but can still easily be done with the addition of a high quality protein powder incorporated into your nutrition program. It makes it alot easier to hit your protein goal each day with a protein supplement.

If you are overweight, these rule of thumbs do not quite apply. Please consult your doctor and dietitian to find out what your body fat is so you can find out what your muscle weight is. Then these rule of thumbs will apply to you.

Here is a question I get alot….what if I don’t eat enough protein, what will happen? Plain and simple, your muscle will just waste away. Have you seen people in the gym that are skinny but flabby? It is because their body is fueling itself by feeding on its own muscle instead of body fat. Eat enough protein and guess what? That won’t happen to you. Here are a few protein recommendations to help put you on the right track to that rock hard body!
