Answer 1

well thats not really true, your body needs protien to build muscle i believe its 1 gram per pound of bodyweight...so bodybuilder even eat alot more protie then that....cuz your muscles...basicly are created from protien..however you dont "just" need protien...u need many things...i suggest u eat more in general, preferably healthy foods...but if u cannot do that...anything will work honestly...to gain muscle u must work out and eat...its simple math. I know some people found some great success with the links on this website also http://MyThat.com/fitness.html

Answer 2

If you want to be gaining weight by building muscle, you've got to be intake sufficient amounts of protein... as well as other nutrients..

In my research, I have never seen or heard about "putting on weight after you stop taking protein"

Answer 3

Muscle is primarily water.
