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.

It comes from milk. During the process of turning milk into cheese, whey protein is separated out. \nDairy products as well as eggs, cottage cheese, soy and vegetable protein also contain good amounts of protein. Nevertheless, none of these sources compares in quality or ease of use like whey protein. Whey protein has the highest value in providing branched-chain amino acids, which result in building and retaining muscle tissue.\nWhey protein (the highest quality and best form of protein) is incredible stuff. It provides the body with the necessary building blocks to produce amino acids that are used for building muscle tissue. Nearly every bodybuilder knows the importance of protein supplementation. Studies have been conducted that compare whey protein to other sources. They have found that whey protein contains the perfect combination of overall amino acid makeup... and in just the right concentrations for optimal performance in the body. Both hormonal and cellular responses seem to be greatly enhanced with supplementation of whey protein, too! Not to mention the benefits whey protein has on the body's immune system according to documented scientific research. Whey protein also plays a role as an antioxidant and helps support a health immune system.

depends on the daily activity and muscle size of the person.  for an active person, 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight.  if you weigh 150 lbs, about 100-125 grams would be right.

the only thing that matters for your body growth is to receive 20 essential amino acides!you can get them all even from Soya beans!

Amino acids.  All proteins are combinations of only these twenty amino acids, which are known as the building blocks of proteins.  The listed source can give you a list of the twenty amino acids.

You can take in too much, or too little protein, The recommended daily protein requirements for humans are derived from "ideal body weight". The ideal body weight is calculated based on height and varies slightly for men and women. Our protein requirements can also be expressed in terms of total caloric intake. The world health organization and many national health agencies have independently conducted studies, which (even though they differ slightly) all conclude our daily protein requirement should be between 10% to 15% of our daily caloric intake. \n\nTo calculate your specific daily protein requirement 1) determine your ideal body weight, then 2) calculate your specific protein requirements based on your ideal weight.\n\nTry the link under sources to calculate the right amount for you

I asked this same question at the Wikipedia reference desk not long ago. See below for a summary of the answer. (It discusses both protein length- the number of amino acids and molecular weight):\nI am looking for a rule of thumb on the molecular weight of proteins. Any opinion of the "average" MW of proteins? Or the range of MW that most proteins fall in? I know this is an ill defined question, so don't bother telling me that..... ike9898 22:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)\n\nA molecular mass of about 40,000 is fairly average. Proteins such as myoglobin and calmodulin are good examples of proteins that do not try to do a whole lot, but they show that a particular biological function can often be accomplished with a 15-20 kDa protein. Many proteins combine several functional domains and can easily be 40, 60, 80, 100 kDa. Many membrane proteins have multiple transmembrane domains plus a cytoplasmic and an extracellular domain. Transmembrane proteins in the range of 80-160 kDa are fairly common. Attempts have been made to identify all the proteins in various organisms. In Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae the average protein size is 388 amino acids (see). The recent article, "Protein length in eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteomes" says that among the Eukaryotic proteins analyzed the average protein was 361 amino acids long while in Bacteria the average was 267 amino acids. --JWSchmidt 00:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC) \n\nThank you! Using another rule of thumb (number of amino acids times 110 = estimate of MW): \n388 amino acids represents a MW of about 42.6 kDa \n361 """" 39.7 kDa \n267 """" 29.4 kDa

wow 300 bench w/o using any protein supplements...not bad. =]\n\nafter workouts, wouldn't you want your muscles to have the necessary protein to repair your muscle tissue?  you should definitely add it after workouts at the very least.\n\nsome people add it before workout too because evidence suggests that an easily digested serving of protein pre-workout may increase protein synthesis in the exercising muscle more than 6 times resting levels.

Proteins are necessary in order for numerous vital functions of your body to happen.  Simply stated, without protein synthesis, you would die.  Proteins are necessary for the execution and regulation of nearly everything that happens in your body.

Other than AIDS/HIV risks, nothing!  Protein is always good for you!

I would say protein. Water is a good answer to.

Protein. Soy and Whey Protein. Chicken, meat, fish proteins. All proteins build muscles. That's why work out nuts consume mass dosage of protein every day.

Human muscle is probably the same as any similar animal muscles that are meant for the same type and load of work.  Just browse to the department of agriculture and look up the amino acid profile of other meats that are similar to human muscle.  Pork chops would be your best bet.\n\n    Don't look at organ meats, because those are different types of muscle.  And don't go for white meats, because those muscles have very little myoglobin because they are used for the flight of birds.  And don't look at fish, insects, grubs, sea sponges, parasites, or anything that is too different from humans.\n\n    Just for the record, I am not the slightest bit interested in cannibalism.  I'm just helping with your question.

from a fellow body builder to another try L-Arigine at 1000 mg 3 times a day. (can be found at GNC for 12 bucks) it is a complex amino acid. that are the building blocks for protin and creatine. builds mass and pomotes fast healing. I also stack with L- otherdine for some fast healing. just so i get 4 days a week of heavy lifting and 2 on light.\nfor more tips brother check out www.trulyhuge.com good site and good people.
