"Protein is needed to build and preserve lean muscle mass, but to help build and preserve that muscle, resistance training is also necessary," Schiff explains. Registered dietitian Sharon Zarabi, RD, CDN, CPT, agrees. "This study was designed to test lean muscle mass and protein intake, when...
Muscle is mostly made of protein. So naturally, in order to build and maintain muscle mass, you need to consistently ingest adequate amounts of protein. This requirement is especially pertinent for strength trainers and athletes who frequently tear muscle during their workouts. In addition, people...
