How much protein should I be consuming each day?

Question

I am a teenager and I want to build up my arms.

Answer 1

Your body can absorb 1 gram of protein for each lb of lean muscle mass. You can determine how much protein supplement to take if you can get someone to measure your body fat index. If you take too much protein supplement, it's not going to absorb.

You should take the protein supplement with 60 minutes of your workout. I would also recommend taking BCAA's (branch chained amino acids) if you are trying to build mass. This supplement will offset the natural process of muscle degradation between workouts.

Good luck

Scientists who really seem to understand human physiology do not totally agree on the precise figure for human daily need for protein, but established scientific research put the figure somewhere between 2% and 8% of the diet.
