Bodybuilding: How Much Protein To Build Some Muscles
Today in this article, I will tell you all about how much protein is needed to build some muscles in a simplified way.
So, without taking much time in the intro, let's get right into it!
Actually, the right amount of protein that you have to take daily will not be determined by what you will read here.
The right approach is,
I will tell you the things that are to be taken care of so that you can gain muscles.
You have to decide on what category you fall in and how much protein works best for you. Because there are levels to this thing!
Let's continue,
If you just had started going to the gym rn. And you are looking for how much protein do you need to build muscles.
Understand this right here,
Because of the reason that you have no muscle maturity at all. You do not require that much protein than that of a person who is working out for, let's say 2 years or so.
The protein intake that would work best for you in bodybuilding would be around 0.5 grams per pound body weight.
For example,
Your weight is 150 pounds then the protein you need for the whole day would be 75 grams.
This simply means that you got some muscle maturity and therefore the optimal protein intake for muscle growth would be much higher than that of a beginner, No Doubt!
How much protein intake for you to build some muscles?
I say you must consume protein at least 1 gram per pound body weight.
You have been training for a long time and the absorption of protein is considerably high.
For example,
Your weight is around 150 pounds so you have to have at least 150 grams of protein in a day to build some muscles.

The number one thing that just came to my mind is if you are an advanced lifter, you already know how much protein you need to take to build some muscles.
But, for the purpose of completing this article, let's talk about how much protein per pound of body weight do advanced lifters need?
The advanced lifters have high strength levels, and their muscles can absorb much more protein than the above 2 categories.
I say going with somewhere around 1.4 grams per pound bodyweight would be decent enough.
For Example,
Your weight is around 150 pounds so you need to take around 300 grams of protein per day to build some muscles.
