Yea ur body needs protein to make muscles so u gotta eat protein but u can't eat too much at once bc if u do youll bloat up like squidward from that episode of SpongeBob then explode + die
Anthony Peterson
Target 1g of protein per lbs of bodyweight assuming you're normal BMI. Your optimal intake is somewhere between .8g per lbs and 1.2g per lbs but you won't know that until you're 6m to 12m into training. If whey makes it easier for you to hit this target then it's good. There is nothing inherently muscle building about protein supplements. It's just about making sure your body has enough protein to synthesized tissue effectively.

No, you dont NEED it
>Will it help build mass faster?
Yes, its convenient and can taste great especially when used in shakes, oatmeal, yogurt, etc.

The trap of the new lifter is protein powder & supplements.
Get farmiliar with good food and good recipes before you go apeing into supplements, because eventually all you'll do is have protein powder for your intake but you need diverse sources from red meats, grains/seeds, vegetables etc. Not all protein is for mass, a lot of protein is just to help your body stay healthy.

just make one of these shakes

also meats, eggs, and dairy have more nutrients that your body needs. in general it's better to use reguar whole foods rather than supplements
Adrian Cruz
I eat at least in between 100 to 130 g of protein daily except sundays and i'm doing fine, don't know why you guys go overboard

If you are worried that your not getting enough or maybe even too much you can do a simple urine test strip. It will show you if you are in a Positive or Negative nitrogen balance. If you are in a negative nitrogen balance you wont build any muscle so you have to get more protein. But if your very far on the positive scale then maybe you are over doing it.

After you do a workout you need to recover the muscles and they can feel sore for a day or so till they are repaired. So you take the whey protein after your workout and then over a 2 hour period of time 25g of protein gets absorbed quickly and promotes muscle synthesis.
Christopher Hall
Better questions: How long after eating protein does it become available to repair the muscle tissue? How long after it becomes available does it stay available before turning to fat? How long after lifting does the muscle stay un-repaired before it's too late to put protein in there? Does science even know these answers yet?

1 banana, handful of froze blueberries, some pumpkin seeds, a tablespoon of almond/peanut butter, whole milk and a nice scoop of protein powder. This is typically what I put in my shake, sometimes change up the frozen bb for something like frozen strawberries or mangoes. Tastes great and bumps up the calories. Try it out user

>How long after eating protein does it become available to repair the muscle tissue?
Depends on the protein source. But fast acting whey isolate gets into your blood pretty quickly after you eat it. Whole food proteins are slower and over time.
Bentley Ramirez
It’s not going to matter because your muscles will repair themselves anyway
Alexander Baker
Not without the protein they need to do that.
