Proteins For Bodybuilding
It's true that bodybuilders and weight lifters
need to keep the protein up in their diet in order to maintain and
build the large muscle mass which is so important to their sports or
recreation.
Protein, as most know, is found in meat, fish,
chicken, beans, milk, in soy products like tofu and in lesser amounts
in nuts and grains.
The
estimated daily requirements are set by various nutrition authorities
in each country. In the US, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) sets
the guidelines for nutrients like protein as well as other major
vitamins and minerals. For most people of average weight, the protein
intake is set at less than 70 grams each day.
Athletes may
require quite a bit more than this to support muscle repair, increased
growth and to protect against the general hardships of vigorous training
and competing. Yet sports nutrition authorities generally recommend no
more than about twice the daily recommended allowance applicable to
less active people.
