There's no single answer to this question, and your ideal protein intake will depend on your activity level and whether you are trying to gain or lose weight.  Some say that too much protein can contribute to joint pain, but it is generally accepted that active individuals looking to build muscle can safely consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight.  Despite the plethora of fad diets out there, the most proven technique for good health is eating a good balance of proteins, carbs, and healthy fats.  I'd recommend a total calorie intake to manage the weight you want, and try to aim for 40-50% of calories from protein, 20-30% from carbs and the remainder from healthy fats (try to avoid excessive amount of saturated fat).

Whey is a good source of protein, protein is necessary for healthy muscles and is particularly benificial if you regularly work out.  It is estimated that most people need about 1-1.5 grammes of protein per pound of body weight each day, if you don't think that you are getting this from your normal diet then supplementing with whey protein shakes will be beneficial.

Take in 1200-1500 calories per day.  Exercise 30 min. per day.  If you are a male, then you will need more calories though.

Calories are not going to turn into muscle. Calories are a form of energy and those calories not used turn into fat. 3500 calories = 1 lb. of fat. If it is muscle you are looking to gain, you need to lift weights and consume protein. Ideally you will need to have 2 grams of protein per pound that you weigh. So double you weight and that is how many grams of protein you need per day. Also, try to get a large amount of protein in your body within 20 minutes of your workout. This is when the protein is most absorbed.

you need to consume 500calories LESS than what it would take to maintain your boday weight, every day, to lose weight. a Rough estimate for your daily caloric need is 15xbody weight in lbs. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, you need to consume 2250 calories a day to maintain your body weight per day & you'd need to consume 1750 calories a day to lose weight. Of course, this is a rough estimate & it will defer based on your activity level.

Here are some rough estimates for you based on your age, height and weight.  Your level of activity, build and other factors may affect these numbers. If you want more exact recommendations see a doctor or dietician.  If you want to start a diet or something you should see a doctor.  Your doctor would be better able to suggest things that are more tailored to you as an individual.  \n\nCalories about 3000/day\nProtein about 66grams/day\nFat about 100grams/day\nCarbohydrates about 459grams/day

Around 300 calories, that would put you at 1500-1800 per day which is about what one needs to maintain their weight. If you start losing or gaining then you will know you need to alter your calorie intake but that is a good place to start. :-)

Eat a normal meal about 5 times a day. After you work out your arms, in sets, eat your protein to stimulate growth.

hit the gym, do core excercises like heavy squats, deadlifts, benchpress. those are the 3 main mass building moves. Make your diet high in protein and low in fat. you should be eating at least 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight per day in order to gain muscle.......good luck

Take in 1.5g-2g of protein x body weight per day.  Your daily intake split should be around 40% protein, 40% carbs, 10% fat(non-saturated).  Have a good workout program and go as hard as you can every time.  Don't do cardio cause it's counter-productive and will eat away at your muscles.  But most importantly EAT, but make it clean(no mcdonald's, etc).

push yourself a little harder.  more weight.  also make sure you eat enough protein.  you can't build muscle without protein.  eat your body weight in protein everyday.  however, your body can only take in between 25-42 grams of protein per meal.  so if you weigh 120, you should eat four meals a day at 40 grams of protein per meal.  if you're not getting sore after a workout then increase the reps and sets.  switch up exercises too.  do leg extentions and leg curls and calf raises.  read muscle and fitness magazine too.  they always have good exercise routines.

Generally, you want to eat about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight if you are trying to gain muscle mass and are working out with weights regularly. Some body builders even double that amount. But if you want to just maintain the muscle you have about half that is okay. Protein is so vital to every thing that goes on in your body. Enzymes, hormones, body cells, bone, skin and muscle are all made up of the amino acids from proteins so plenty of protein is essential but balance that with an equal amount of good carbohydrates to give your body the energy it needs to do all things it does.

protein powder, you should be eating 1.5grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. Creatine is a good scientifically proven supplement,a good multi vitamin, flax seed oil, glutamine etc. there are so many supplements nowadays its confusing to figure out which are best. these are the basics that i use myself with very good results.
