My Two Top Sources Of Protein
If you want to achieve your physical appearance goals, protein is the way forward, it packs on the muscle, strips away the fat, and get you to that end result in lightning speed. But in order to achieve that look you need to feed your body only the best of the best sources of protein you can find. But remember that quantity is equally as important as quality. To build as much muscle as possible you must consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight. You should be writing these sources down and keeping your notes in a place you’ll see them every day.
The Top Spot - Whey Protein
Whey protein takes the number one spot for its super absorbent powers! This source doesn’t take much energy for the body to process and is soaked up into the muscles with ease. If you find that you sometimes over train your muscles and your recovery process takes a little longer than your buddies, try to aim at getting that 1 recommended gram per pound of body weight every day, a University study in Florida found that whey protein dramatically speeds up the recovers process.
If you are lactose intolerant try using whey protein isolate as it contains less lactose.
Carbs are also needed alongside whey protein, so try mixing 40 grams of carbs with 20 grams of whey and consuming this before and after every workout. The carbs are need for the energy during your workout, and they also help to replace the glycogen you have spent during your session. The refined sugars found in quality carbs produce a release of insulin inside your body which will in turn allow your muscles to use the protein a lot more effectively. Thus leading to increased muscle strength and size.
Quality protein is vital for the development of the abdominals. After you have finished reading this page check out this article for more information - How To Get Abbs
And The Silver Medal Goes To - Soya Protein Isolate
With almost no saturated fat in the soya protein researchers have recently said that it is just as effective at synthesising with muscles as whey protein has proven to be. If you ever take part in any forms of long enduring aerobic exercise you’ll love soya protein… It’s very rich in iron, a great mineral which increases the amount of oxygen carried to the muscles, allowing you to work out for longer.
It’s been speculated recently in the fitness community that soya protein can cause man boobs. But I have never seen any evidence to support these claims so I personally take such theory’s with a pinch of salt. (And you should do your own research, don’t take my opinions as your own)
If you’re keen on your aerobic activities and you want to really feel the effect of having that extra iron in your system, try eating an orange along with your protein shake. It has been proven that vitamin C increases the amount of iron your body absorbs.
