How Much Protein Should I Take?

This is one of the most asked questions. The generally accepted rule is 1 grams of protein to 1 lbs. Of body weight. So if you weighed 175 lbs. Then you should look towards consuming around 175 grams of protein a day. Protein in your diet ensures good muscle growth. It is useful if you were to spread out your protein intake within your 5 meals a day. Protein is found in chicken, fish, meats, and other natural foods. When you don’t have the time to cook chicken or are somewhere where you need to eat something now but can’t, such as work, the protein shakes are very useful as a meal replacement. Protein supplements shakes are full of protein and other essential nutrients that help to encourage muscle growth. Creatine is also a useful supplement but is very hotly debated on its effectiveness. Possible harmful side effects of creatine are discussed further within the Creatine section of Muscle Extreme.
See our Protein Table to find out how much proteins are there in foods.

The Effects of Creatine Supplements on Your Body By K. Perry

The skeletal muscle component known as creatine is not only available as creatine supplement. Several other sources besides creatine supplement can benefit us with the effects of creatine. Firstly, creatine is produced naturally in the body through amino acid action, which occurs when food is processed.

Glycine, arginine and methionine acids work in combination within the liver and kidneys to produce creatine. If natural creatine levels need to be elevated for any reason it is possible to do so by taking a creatine supplement. Our food intake is another way to enjoy the full effects of creatine. Fish, meat and poultry all contain creatine.

Glutamine – the Essential Bodybuilding Muscle Builder! By Bob Howard

For individuals engaged in bodybuilding muscle, glutamine’s primary benefit is its role in modulating nitrogen levels. Positive nitrogen balance occurs when the total amount of nitrogen excreted in normal bodily functions (i.e. the urine, feces and sweat) is less than the total nitrogen consumed in the diet. Positive nitrogen balance is vital for new muscle tissue to be synthesized. It also plays a vital role in weight loss. When protein intake is inadequate to maintain tissue nitrogen balance, negative nitrogen balance is said to occur and new muscle tissue is unable to be created. When the body is in a state of positive nitrogen balance, protein intake is sufficient to maintain muscle tissue needs and the amounts of nitrogen entering and exiting the body are equal. It’s this second state that hard training bodybuilders strive for. Glutamine has been shown to keep the body in positive nitrogen balance, thus maximizing the body’s muscle building and weight loss potential.
