Protein

Bitches love protein!

Proteins are made up of amino acids.

There are 8 essential amino acids, ones that your body can’t produce on its own so you need to devour delicious foods to get your hands on them!

There are also 12 non essential amino acids, ones that your body can produce so no need to worry about hunting them down.

 If a food has all the essential amino acids it is known as a complete protein and is given a biological value from 1 to 100,with 100 being the best,a whole egg has all the essential proteins in one place and the reason body builders are so obsessed with them!

Protein products they should always have a BV.

They do say you should only have 2 full eggs a day because of the cholesterol, which is why many people separate their eggs and just use the whites as most of the cholesterol is found in the yolk.

You can also make meals that when put together they have all the essential amino acids such as the height of British cuisine, beans on toast

Right the amount of protein your muscles can utilise.

 You really don't need 40, or 30, or probably even 20g of protein per meal to keep your protein synthesis humming along (protein synthesis is where the cells build protein).

 Any protein that your body can't use for growth will broken down and goes down the toilet, that’s some expensive toilet trips in a day. I really begrudge paying 50p to use the bogs at the train station let design my own urine.

To bulk up if you are training a lot as a rule of thumb 2g’s of protein per kg of body weight a day generally works.

After training the window is about half and hour to get some protein/carbohydrates into your system before your body starts getting protein from your muscle stores to convert into energy.

I hope this has helped you on your path to abs of steel and sell out gun show!
