No, not only bodybuilders should be eating lots of protein…..
Myth 1: All protein is created equally
Truth: The quality of a protein is determined by its ability to provide the 8 essential amino acids, which are necessary for the growth, maintenance, and repair of body tissues.
Animal sources: eggs, dairy, meat, poultry, and fish.
As well as a vegetable protein, soy is considered high-quality because it contains all of the essential amino acids in the necessary proportions.
Myth 2: Animal protein causes cancer
Myth 3: Protein needs are the same throughout your life
Truth: As we age, we gradually lose muscle mass, a process called sarcopenia. However, resistance exercise and a healthy diet, which includes slightly more protein, can help minimize the loss of both muscle mass and strength. How cool is that? As we age, our protein needs increase because older people require higher doses of protein to stimulate that muscle protein synthesis.
Myth 4: A high protein diet is the key to gaining muscle mass and size
By the way, last night I made Chocolate-Covered Katie’s “Ultimate Unbaked Brownies”. They were so amazing that I completely forgot to take a picture.
