Protein
Without Protein in our bodies, our muscles would not work. The number one rule is that every meal should contain Protein.
What Protein does in our System:
Protein is required for building and repairing body and muscle tissues. Protein is the transporter of nutrients. Protein is also required for muscle contractions. Without Protein muscle contractions are not able to function.
Performance and Protein:
When athletes are training for an event or just training in normal, the amount of protein in your system should be at least 0.8g/lb of lean bodyweight. On the day of the event or training days protein should be 1-2g/lb of your body weight.
Weight Lifting and Resistance Training:
Without Protein muscle tears are not able to heal. When a muscle is pushed hard enough, it will cause tears along the muscle fibers. When this happens, blood rushes into the muscle to repair the torn tissue with needed protein. Therefore without protein in the body, your muscles cannot strengthen.
Protein and Glycogen:
Protein converts to Glycogen. Glycogen is a mobilization hormone. It lets energy out of the cell, and provides energy to the working muscle.
