There are many opinions out there about what to eat. We have individuals needs, medical conditions, lifestyles, etc. We have to respect all of this when we consider good nutrition. But, there is a simple fact that cuts through all of this…protein needs for athletes. At Don’t Be a Meathead, we follow the science. We know that we need to increase/maintain muscle weight and lower body fat and especially visceral fat. We want to maximize our health early and as we age. Most of us are in this for the long run.
If you want to stay lean and gain muscle, you need the proper amount of protein. Macros are important and if your numbers are not right, you are not going to look or feel great. In addition, your recovery and performance will be hindered.
