Protein – The Absolute Truth About This Essential Ingredient For Building Lean Muscle Mass!

There are many fad diets and misconceptions all over the television, radio, internet, and in books about nutrition and fitness. Most all of these fads can be written off pretty quickly when in most cases people can’t stick to them effectively due to unrealistic expectations and misguided loyalty towards the product. The following article will provide the facts about protein along with an appropriate recommended daily allowance of this specific nutrient.

I just want to discuss one of three main nutrients that is an essential ingredient in building lean muscle mass and necessary for muscle recovery. I am talking about protein. For you to have any successful strength and conditioning program you must be getting enough high-quality protein. This is the nutrient that builds our muscles back up to a recovered state after the wear and tear of working out. You see our skeletal muscles themselves are made up of nothing more than many fibers of protein, so it takes the same thing to nurture them back to a full recovery.

How much protein should I have? This is a great question. The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) has different recommendations for you based on your level of physical activity. Observe the amount below:

Mildly Active: 1 gram per kilogram of body-weight 
Moderately Active: 1.5 grams per kilogram of body-weight 
Very Active: 2 grams per kilogram of body-weight

Note: There are 2.2 lbs in 1 kilogram.

Tip: Protein from animal-based products or meats have a higher biological content than those acquired from a vegetarian or plant-based food product.
