Protein

[Heims]

Im 65 kg, just started to train to gain muscle mass. Im on a normals person diet and I wonder if 60grams of protein will be enough for gaining mass?

Minimum protein intake for resistance trained individuals is .8g per lb of body weight.

Im thinking of getting 60g whey protein than around 40ishg from food? will this work?

It would work... but I am more curious as to what you eat that you manage to get so little protein form food; do you intentionally avoid protein?

Probably better to eat a more normal diet with more protein from whole foods.

Will it work? Yes. Does it sound like your diet is sub-optimal? Yes.

Get around 1g per pound of lean bodymass. Muscle can be built with less, but try for that.

I would recommend getting most protein from whole food sources, not whey protein powders. Whey is a supplement....to supplement your diet.

Protein builds muscle, yes. But a protein shake will not magically make you gain muscle. You need to be eating enough calories over all. Ensure you getting in enough protein, carbs and fats. All three work together to get you to your goals.

Eat rice beans and chicken all day everyday, slam some coffee that looks like motor oil, throw some multi vitamins in there, chug those down, look at your phone real fast, put some jams on, hop on your bike, head to the gym and your good.

Ready on three...break!!
