Protein is essential to muscle health. Proteins help rebuild your muscles. It also helps you stay/feel full. There is a science behind all of this, but I just want to give you the basic knowledge. Protein also helps you curb cravings. So go out and buy some Whey Protein (make sure it has less than 5g of sugar - optimally 2.5g or less) It's simple, you don't have to be a gym rat to eat the stuff. I always thought that was the case, boy was I wrong. I do work out 5 days a week, but I definitly don't use Whey Protein as a meal supplement or anything like hard core weight lifters. I simply add a half scoop of Whey Protein to 1/3 cup of oatmeal for breakfast - Breakfast should contain Carbs (oatmeal) and proteins (whey). You can also make a protein shake for a mid day snack also. But snacks are a whole other post, so we'll get to that later. Right now i'm trying out several different Whey protein brands, but so far my favorite is muscle milk - although the calories from fat are higher than I would like - but then again, that is probably why it tastes to good!
