Improve Your Weight Loss Diet With Protein
Protein is obviously a very significant part of any nutrition program for someone
who is working out with weights and trying to build muscle volume, you may have read in previous articles that I have written the importance of increasing your muscle volume. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman you need to increase muscle volume to aid with burning your body fat.
Muscle commands more energy to burn. In turn whenever your muscles have more volume they will want to more energy and the best place they can get that energy from are your body's fat stores.
Studies have shown those who do even moderate exercise with weights require anywhere from a half of a gram of protein per pound of lean torso mass to one gram per pound. That is a whole lot of protein. Given the fact you are supposed to eat six meals daily spread out every two and a half to three hours, you can see that you will want a lot of protein per each serving.
You will finally hit those days where you no longer want that chicken breast and the site of another egg white will make you ill. Not to worry as there are a lot of protein supplements on the market that you can pick up at your local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.
The question comes as to which one is the best bang for your buck. You can do all the research that you hope but none have shown better results than Whey protein. In its near scientific definition, whey protein is the collection of globular proteins that is isolated from whey which is a by product of cheese manufactured from cow's milk.
What makes whey protein a great source of protein, even more adept than chicken breast or egg whites, is that it has the highest biological value (BV) of all proteins. I won't get into BV in this article, but whenever you want to learn more you are a Google search away.
If you go with a reputable brand name whenever you buy your whey protein source you can't go wrong as far as calibre goes. The GNC brand is inexpensive and a good source as is Optimum, Designer Protein and EAS.
Determine how much each serving gives you as far as grams of protein as they differ from brand to brand, and then supplement your diet with what you need to hit that one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass.
As always if you are just beginning out any exercise or nourishment program be sure to talk to your physician prior to commencing. They can answer questions that you may have and give you plenty of helpful advice.
