As the saying goes, "Seven points depend on practice, and three points depend on supplementation." This is known to everyone who is bodybuilding. So how do novices need to eat protein powder for training? Supplementing protein powder after exercise can quickly repair torn muscles and achieve the effect of muscle growth. So what is the function of protein powder?
Let me tell you:
Protein is an important component of the nutrients our bodies need. Protein can play an important role in repairing our body functions. For example, when muscle cells or skin are damaged, protein must be obtained from foods high in protein. This can speed up the healing of wounds. In addition, protein is very important to human muscles. There is also considerable restorative effect. When we build muscle, the fiber cells of the muscles are torn. At this time, protein can play a role in repairing the muscle fibers. When the torn muscle fibers are repaired, the muscles will become very thick, so the muscles as a whole will increase in size. Therefore, after building muscle, you should eat more foods high in protein.
If you have entered the intermediate muscle-building ranks, at this time you already fully know the training methods of all muscles in the human body, and can conduct a complete cycle training of human muscles every week. Then your demand for protein will greatly increase. The protein you usually get from food is far from enough. Then you will need some external nutritional supplements to get protein, because a normal fitness enthusiast It is impossible to eat dozens of eggs every day, nor is it possible to eat several kilograms of chicken. Because these foods are not all composed of protein, the human body simply cannot stand this overload of eating.
The important component of protein powder is mainly whey protein, which is also the protein with the highest utilization rate by the human body. It can quickly replenish the body's protein needs, thereby achieving a relatively better muscle-building effect.
The above has told my friends about the functions of protein powder, so now I will tell my friends how to eat protein powder
At the same training stage, the way of eating protein powder is also different. If you are just starting to eat, you can take protein powder half an hour to an hour after training. Subsequently, as the intensity and intensity of training continue to increase, the number of times you take protein powder can also increase accordingly.
In addition to taking it after training, you also need to take it before going to bed at night and after getting up early, so that the effect will be more obvious.
How to eat for intermediate trainers: Reference ratio: 1KG = 1g. The protein powder a person needs on a training day and the number of his or her body weight + g. For example: I am 75KG, so the protein powder I need on a training day is about 75g. Divide 75g into three parts as follows:
Half an hour after training: 25g, half an hour before going to bed, 30g, and 20g in the morning
Non-training days can be reduced by half.
In this way, protein powder can only be mixed with warm or cold water below 40 degrees, not boiled water.
Whether you are a first-time fitness enthusiast or an intermediate fitness enthusiast, you must develop a good fitness plan and diet plan according to your own situation to achieve better results.
