NEXUS INSIGHT!
Hello NEXUS Community!
Many of us don’t consume nearly enough protein throughout the day as we should! The amount of protein needed to build muscle varies depending on factors such as body weight, activity level, and fitness goals. Generally, it's recommended that individuals aiming to build muscle consume around 0.5-1g of protein per pound of body weight per day. For someone engaging in intense resistance training or bodybuilding, aiming for the higher end of this range may be beneficial. Protein is essential for repairing and building muscle tissue, so ensuring an adequate intake supports muscle growth and recovery. However, it's also important to maintain a balanced diet with carbohydrates and fats to provide energy for workouts and overall health.
So eat some protein (but don’t forget those veggies!) and head to the gym for a workout! See you soon!
