Protein Benefits

Does Protein Work?

Protein for Muscle Growth
Yes, protein supplementation helps grow muscle. This protein study (HTML link) shows that when combined with intense training, lean muscle is added at much higher rates when taking 1.27g of protein per pound of bodyweight every day rather than 0.64g protein/lb.

Further, Pudoc and Wageningen in The Netherlands 1985:99-103 showed that moving to 1.59g protein per pound of bodyweight resulted in a 6% increase in muscle mass and a 5% increase in strength over 1g protein per pound of bodyweight.

Protein for Fat-Loss
Replacing calories with two protein shakes in a weight-loss diet helped subjects lose significantly more body fat. The study used whey protein.

So get your protein up to over 1g of protein per pound of body weight, every day, but consider 1.5g/lb of bodyweight.
