When Is The Best
Time To Eat Protein For Building Muscle
by: Chris
Chew
Every bodybuilder and fitness
enthusiast knows that you must eat
enough protein for muscle growth. Without the amino acids of protein,
your muscles cannot grow no matter how hard and often you train your.
Protein is the building block of muscles and there are no other
nutrients to substitute protein for muscle growth.
It is recommended that if you want to
grow and build muscle
mass, the rule is to eat one gram of protein per pound of your body
weight per day. That is a lot of protein which many people cannot get
in their normal dietary meals and protein supplementation is often
necessary. Without eating enough protein, all your muscle building
training in the gym will be futile. Such a waste isn’t it?
So when is the best time to eat
protein to optimize muscle
growth? How and which type of protein should you eat to get spectacular
muscular growth?

Eat protein first thing in the morning – After a good night’s sleep,
your body is in a catabolic state. That means your body is burning your
muscle for energy since your glycogen store is low. So eat quickly
digestible protein such as whey protein the first thing in the morning
even before you brush your teeth to prevent your muscle wasting away or
catabolism.
Eat protein between your meals – To keep
protein flowing in
your bloodstream so as to feed your muscles continuously throughout the
day, take casein protein in between your meals. Casein protein is slow
to digest and as such will continuously release protein into your
bloodstream to feed your muscles for many hours in between your meals.
In this way, your muscles will be constantly receiving protein
throughout the day.
Protein before/after gym workout – It is a
known fact that
eating fast to digest protein such as whey protein before your workout
will promote muscle growth as your muscles are being fed as you
training to build muscles. Then take whey protein again after your
workout along with some carbohydrates to repair your muscle cells after
you have damaged them during your workout.
Protein before bed – Since you will be going
without food for
many hours when you sleep and muscle building is at its optimum when
you sleep, you must encourage your muscle to grow by eating casein
protein before you sleep. As casein protein is slow to digest, it will
continuously feed your muscles for as long as seven hours when you
sleep and thus encouraging your muscles to build and grow.
So now that you know when is the best time
to eat protein and
to encourage building muscles, follow these tips and see your muscles
growing like you have never seen before.
