    Picking Your Protein MAKE A DECISION FOR THE BEST RESULTS Once you know what type of protein you want to use, the next step is to identify the nutritional values within that specific protein. First, you should always check the calories per serving. Both weight loss and muscle gains boil down to your calorie intake, so you'll want to be sure the protein you choose aligns with your goals. Generally protein powders are divided into lean, meal replacement and weight gainers. Next, make sure the grams of protein per serving are adequate for your goal. A good general rule of thumb is to consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight. Be sure to consume your daily allotment in small amounts throughout the day to prevent overconsumption and to maximize your results.

  • The amino acids in the protein you eat, especially the essential amino acids your body cannot produce, stimulate muscle synthesis or the creation of new muscle tissue.
  • Men and women both need 1-½ to 2 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day to gain muscle weight. However, you must include this protein intake as part of a dietary plan very high in calories. Men must first consume 50 calories per kilogram of body weight and women must eat 44 calories per kilogram of body weight just to maintain current body mass. Then, you must add 350 to 700 calories to that to build 1 to 2 lbs. of muscle per week.
  • The best protein powders contain 2 to 2-½ g of the essential amino acid leucine per serving. Leucine appears to trigger the onset of muscle protein synthesis more than other amino acids. Ensure you eat 3 to 9 g of leucine in each of your meals.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Your pre- and post-workout meals should be in the form of a protein shake made with a minimum of 48 g of protein, skim milk and fruit
  • he protein in skim milk stimulates muscle synthesis better than the protein in soy milk. Carbohydrates like fruit enhance muscle tissue building when combined with protein powder. The amino acids in protein powders are more quickly absorbed into your bloodstream and your muscle cells compared to meat and chicken, optimally enhancing muscle growth.
  • Protein powders are dietary supplements and must not replace all the sources of protein in your diet. Healthy options of high-protein foods include lean chicken breast, turkey, mackerel, lean meat, low-fat dairy and salmon. Chicken breast, turkey and mackerel are high in magnesium, a mineral essential for optimal muscular contraction
  • Lean red meat is high in iron, necessary for effective transport and use of oxygen, giving you maximal energy. Low-fat dairy products are rich in calcium, another minimal necessary for muscular contraction. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which helps to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation.
  • Plant sources of protein like beans, rice, wheat, nuts and seeds are incomplete proteins. This means such plants are missing at least one essential amino acid. If you do not eat animal products, combine two different sources of plant protein such as beans with rice, seeds, corn, wheat or nuts. Consuming multiple sources of plant protein ensures you eat all the essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle.

  • Photo Credit Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images Active people involved in resistance training regularly take protein supplements to promote muscle strength, enhance muscle recovery and gain muscle size, as acknowledged in an article by Robert R Wolfe in the August 2000 issue of the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition."
  • An effective protein supplement used before or after working out should contain the nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in the body. The optimum combination of amino acids renders them "complete proteins." These are protein supplements derived from animal or dairy sources.
  • Writing in Bodybuilding.com, bodybuilder Hugo Rivera categorizes five types of protein used in supplements according to their bio-availability value--ability of the body to assimilate and use protein.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The five are: whey protein, egg protein, milk protein also known as calcium cassienate or micellar protein, beef protein in the form of liver tablets, and soy protein.
  • Weight gainers are a blend of protein, carbohydrates and fats, with a high calorie content designed to help you gain weight. They are particularly useful if you are a hard-gainer with low body-fat and a high metabolic rate. Meal replacement powders are a blend of protein and carbs, but lower in calories than weight gainers. Protein powders typically contain no more than 5 percent carbohydrates. Protein bars contain proteins and sugars. Ready to drink protein shakes, contain low carbs and essential fatty acids. Beef liver tablets, a protein supplement that dates back to the 1960s.
  • Take a weight-gainer protein supplement or meal replacement supplement within an hour of finishing your work out. These contain simple carbohydrates to replenish muscle stores of glycogen used as energy during your work out, and a blend of quickly assimilated whey protein and sustained release milk protein to accelerate muscle recovery and enhance growth. Hoffman believes the insulin response generated by simple carbs helps the body's uptake of amino acids.
  • Muscle breakdown occurs during resistance exercise and depletes the muscles stock of the branch chain amino acids, leucine, iso-leucine and valine. Take a quick digesting protein supplement like whey protein before your work out. An article by Jay R Hoffman PHD. in the December 2007 edition of the "National Strength and Conditioning Journal," suggests taking a protein supplement immediately before your workout enhances muscle growth.

  • If you want to build muscle you need to do two things. You must lift weights and you have to eat a healthy muscle building diet.
  • Healthy diets for muscle building require you to consume more calories. Of course this only applies if you are already fit and trying to gain muscle mass. It does not apply if you are overweight and trying to lose a few pounds.
  • For a rough estimate of daily calories you should consume for a muscle building diet, multiply your body weight in pounds by 20.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Protein intake must be increased
  • Fats are also essential to healthy diets for muscle building, but these should be healthy fats such as olive oil, flaxseed oil and nuts
  • Cut out sugary drinks like soft drinks and alcohol.
  • Whey protein powder is especially effective for muscle building and easy to consume. A scoop of whey protein dissolves easily in water or milk.

    Teenage athletes should include protein with all or most meals and snacks. Protein is an essential nutrient needed in the body for the growth, development and repair of muscles and body tissue. Protein is particularly beneficial following a workout, as it aids in rebuilding muscle fibers broken down during an intense or prolonged exercise session. This boosts the strength of muscles in addition to increasing muscle mass and size. With adequate recovery, the body is better able to perform optimally during a workout the following day with less risk of fatigue, soreness or possible injury. Incorporate protein into daily meals by eating eggs for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch, low-fat yogurt and string cheese for snacks and a serving of lean beef, turkey or fish for dinner. A post-workout protein shake made with low-fat milk, a banana and protein powder may also help athletes who have trouble meeting caloric needs through food.

Crea creatine shakes protein body

shared by Ali C on 04 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • Creatine and protein shakes are commonly used by weightlifters and athletes looking to bulk up or improve their overall physical fitness levels. Creatine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in fish and meat and produced naturally in the liver, kidneys and pancreas, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Protein shakes are supplements used to fuel the body with protein in an effort to build muscle.
  • Creatine works by supplying the muscles with additional energy during a workout. This can help you increase the intensity of your workouts, although it has been shown to be ineffective for some people, the University of Maryland Medical Center notes. Protein powders are primarily used immediately following a workout to help replenish the body with much-needed proteins lost during an intense lifting session. Muscles are made of protein, considered the building block of all bodily tissues.
  • Contrary to what some people believe, protein supplementation is not necessarily a healthy way to lose weight, cautions Mayo Clinic dietitian Katherine Zeratsky. Meal-replacement shakes that are high in protein cannot replicate or achieve the nutritional value of whole foods. Zeratsky recommends focusing on eating healthy, well-balanced meals and watching your calorie intake to lose weight safely.

      Creatine is a hugely debated topic. Many boys your age feel that they have to supplement their diet to see huge gains in their progress. I am interested to chat with you about your thoughts about creatine.

      Yeah I would be interested to talk about it Mr. Levitt! I dont know wether I should take it or not, like I take regular protein for now. I just know you must drink alot of water with creatine or you get kidney stones.

  • Protein is second to only water as the most abundant nutrient in the human body. All living tissue is made of 22 amino acids, amino acids that are only present in protein
  • The amino acids into which proteins are broken down to maintain the health of skin, mouth, eyes, hair; stabilizes appetite; necessary for carbohydrate metabolism; weight control, essential for normal functioning of the heart, nerve tissues, muscles, digestion, learning capacity, replacement of old cells and growth.
  • These amino acids work to repair muscle tissues and structures that are damaged during life and exercise. Cellular waste if not destroyed causes a bevy of ailments/disease and hinder the bodies metabolic processes.

  • ncomplete proteins come from "plant products", beans, rice, etc. They must be combined in order to supply the body with the 9 essential amino acids it needs. Ladies and gentlemen, now that you see how important consuming protein is let's look at how much should be consume and what types.
  • The world health organization and many national health agencies have independently conducted studies, which (even though they differ slightly) all conclude our daily protein requirement should be between 10% to 15% of our daily caloric intake. If you eat 2000 calories a day that equates to 50 to 75 grams of protein.
  • Protein needs of individuals vary in nature. To estimate your personal protein needs you will need to take your current weight in pounds, divide it in half and then subtract 10. The result is a rough estimate of how much protein you should consume.
  • If you do not already do so, read food lables, then buy your food uncooked and cook it healthfully. If you do not take anything else from this article that last sentence is paramount.
  • your schedule is hectic and you are just too busy and do not have time to eat high protein foods then bars and powders can be substituted. A lot of bars on the market are loaded with other "not so good" man made additives, trans fats, aspartame, saturated fat content (over 3.5g), etc.
