EAT MORE PROTEIN...

 

YES, I said eat MORE! Your body can only build lean muscle if you feed it. Protein, especially from animals and eggs, have the complete amino acid profile that your body needs to build muscle. I (Juliane) recommend getting AT LEAST 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. That should be from complete protein sources (this means protein from veggies and nuts, etc. aren't included in that amount.) This is especially important if you are trying to lose body fat because you want to maintain your lean muscle while losing fat. Muscle burns fat; which equals SHREDDED! So eat your protein ladies and gentlemen. I try to get my complete proteins from a variety of sources... on a daily basis I eat whey protein, casein protein, chicken, salmon, tuna, and eggs. You can also eat lean red meats. (FUN FACT: I haven't eaten red meat since I was 12 years old!) Most importantly, don't skimp out on that protein in your post workout! In the gym you are breaking down muscle so you need protein to build it back up and get stronger!
