1. The importance of protein!
Fitness exercises often require protein supplementation, which is the raw material for muscle building. Protein is the cornerstone
Any athlete who does not get enough protein will not be able to achieve their goals no matter what. Just like how to build a house without materials.
Although we still don’t know the precise value of protein required by the human body, we do know that for an ordinary athlete, the protein he needs to supplement every day will definitely exceed the 0.4g per pound standard recommended by a certain nutritional organization.
In fact, even twice the daily protein intake above is appropriate. The general recommendation is 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight
2.In addition to protein, you also need enough carbohydrates!
Even if you add enough eggsWhite matter does not mean your body is in a good state to build muscle. If you don't balance your protein and carbohydrate intake, you'll disrupt your body's ability to absorb and utilize these nutrients.
People who engage in high-intensity training or endurance training cannot consume sufficient amounts of carbohydrates, and the body will break down and burn protein to provide energy (protein can provide very limited energy).
Then the protein is broken down as a source of energy and cannot provide material for muscle repair and growth (this is why protein is so important for bodybuilders). So you should eat enough carbohydrates to fuel your body so that your body doesn't use protein as a source of energy so it can use it to repair your muscles.
3.Proteins are made up of amino acid molecules.
When the human body builds body tissues such as muscles, it needs to break down proteins into individual amino acid molecules. Glutamate is an important component of muscle. This is why we say carbohydrates are "glutamic acid sparing."
Because the body burns carbohydrates to provide energy and does not use glutamate in the muscles as energy for muscle contraction.
If you cannot obtain enough carbohydrates for energy during muscle contraction, the muscles will break down the glutamate (that is, the muscle itself) to provide energy. This way the muscles are easily broken down. Overtraining not only causes muscle soreness, but also means that the body will break down muscle tissue to provide energy instead of obtaining energy from food.
