Fitness Tip: Feed Your Muscles - After a workout be sure to feed your muscles so they can grow. Wait no more than one hour before eating a balanced meal containing not only protein (i.e., eggs, chicken, and fish) but complex carbohydrates (i.e., whole grains, green vegetables). For convenience you may opt to have a protein shake as an after workout meal.

I get asked this question all the time.
The theory I see most often is 1 gram of protein for each pound of body weight per day if you are training and are wanting to increase “LEAN” muscle mass and decrease your body fat percentage.
I disagree with this and the advise I would like to give is that I think the 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight theory should be changed to 1 gram of protein per pound of “LEAN” body weight.
For instance, if you are a 200 pound man with 17% body fat you would want to get 166 grams of protein per day.
Thats 200 Lbs - 34lbs of body fat = 166 lbs.(1 gram per pound)
In other words you don’t need to add a gram of protein for each pound of body fat your carrying.
Feed the muscle not the fat!

Protein That Stimulates Fat Formation Discovered
Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have discovered a protein that plays a fundamental part in the formation of new fat cells. The protein has a potential use in the treatment of obesity and cachexia (morbid weight loss).
The discovery of the protein, which is called TRAP and which is secreted by immune cells in fat tissue, provides new insights into the chronic fat tissue inflammation that characterises obesity. Using both cell cultures and mice studies, the researchers have shown that TRAP stimulates the formation of new fat cells and can thus precipitate the development of obesity. The results also show that patients with obesity have excessive levels of TRAP.

Learn why protein is the often-forgotten critical factor in fat loss.
The year was 1992. I had just finished a long cycle of weight gain whereupon I had moved my bodyweight up from about 150 pounds to about 215 pounds. And let me just tell you, it wasn’t all muscle!
I hadn’t been all that careful about my diet previously but I thought I knew pretty well what I was doing. It was time to lose some of that fat.
The first thing I did was make the biggest mistake a dieter can make: in my focus of trying to eat only low fat foods, I unwittingly and drastically reduced the amount of protein that I was eating.
The result? I lost weight and plenty of it. The problem was, I lost mostly muscle! I was smaller, weaker, lighter and nearly as fat as I was before. Not quite the results I was looking for.
In retrospect, I know exactly what I did wrong and it’s something I’ll never do again…..CLICK HERE
