Otherwise, your body won’t have the building blocks—in the form of amino acids from protein—that it needs to create new muscle tissue. But what about the opposite scenario: Does protein build muscle without working out? As in, could eating a protein-heavy diet lead to gains even ...
Not everybody has the same amount of protein requirements, though. A person’s protein needs are based on certain factors, such as weight. “Generally, however, adults can need 46 to 56 grams of protein per day, while athletes and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may need even more...
For women in particular, adequate protein intake is also crucial for maintaining muscle mass, supporting bone health, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting immune function. During seasons like pregnancy and breastfeeding, protein needs increase to support both mom and baby. And as we get ...
