Eat Right!
Want To Lose Fat & Gain More Muscles??? Eat More Protein!!!!
One of the simplest approaches to weight management is to just consume more protein. People
who consume higher protein meal tend to have a more satiated feeling after, decreasing the
chances of over eating later.
This is partially due to the fact that protein is difficult for your body to digest. In fact, protein is so hard for your body to break down, up to 35% of the calories are burned when digesting it, which is more than carbohydrates and fat combined.
When increasing the amount of daily protein intake, consuming 1g/desired body weight is
usually a good starting point. For example, if I weigh 180 lbs, but I want lose 20, I would
consume 160g of protein a day. The same goes for gaining muscle mass. Your protein intake
should be your number one concern for each meal. After that you add on as much vegetables as
you want with a moderate amount of healthy fat.
