According to leading UK Manufacturer Extreme Nutrition :
Every bodybuilder who wants to build serious muscle eat a lot of protein, protein is the most important element in your physique enhancing programme. Muscles are basically protein and water, without these 2 nutrients in plentiful and steady supply you restrict your ability to grow.

Before making protein the main ingredient of your bodybuilding diet, check out the following helpful tips on using protein under various circumstances.

By applying these simple guidelines to your plan of action, you will be able to get huge and still hold on to your mass when dieting.

1. Rely on Protein for Anabolism
Total protein intake and total caloric intake will determine whether or not an anabolic (growth) state can exist. If you eat a lot of calories, carbs and fats without eating enough protein, you can kiss muscle growth goodbye.

2. Meet Minimum Protein Requirements
You must consume at least one gram (g) of protein per pound of bodyweight daily. A 200 pound bodybuilder needs a minimum of 200g of protein per day.

3. Be Aware of Metabolic Differences
This tip applies to hard gainers with fast metabolic rates. If you are blessed - or cursed - with a metabolism that forces you to burn protein for fuel, then increase daily protein intake to at least 1.5g per pound of bodyweight. Under these conditions, a 200 pound bodybuilder would consume 300g of protein per day.

4. Consume Complementary Carbs
Carbs are not complete anathema to a bodybuilder in pursuit of mass. Take in 2g of carbs per pound of bodyweight daily, unless you're dieting strictly. This will provide your body with sufficient carb stores to draw on for energy, instead of tapping into protein stores that should be reserved for muscle building. Unless you are of a body type which tends to easily store body fat where you will need to carefully monitor the carb intake to prevent fat storage.

5. Eat More Protein When You Diet
To get ripped you have to cut way back on dietary fat while reducing carb intake. This double whammy forces the body to burn more protein as fuel, which will put your muscle tissue at risk. Dieting bodybuilders should increase protein intake to 1.5g per pound of bodyweight to compensate for the reduction in carbohydrate.

6. Count Protein Intake
When calculating total grams of protein, include only complete sources, such as meat, fish, protein supplements and eggs. Disregard incomplete sources like oats, rice, bread and other grains.

7. Ignore the RDA Advice on Protein Intake
The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for protein are inapplicable to bodybuilders, as are studies recommending .50g per pound of bodyweight. Such figures are typically calculated by experimenting with university students - a.k.a. recreational bodybuilders - and are well below the requirements for hardcore bodybuilders in training. The RDA figures are designed to allow normal body functions, not to allow the construction of new muscle tissue.

8. Use Protein Powders
I recommend protein powders that include fast acting whey, which is naturally dense in branched chain amino acids; slower acting casein and immune system enhancing soy, which is also high in glutamine. These three sources combined will yield a better net increase in mass than a single source powder such as casein alone. As a rule of thumb, try to get 50% of your protein intake from powders in order to accelerate absorption into muscle tissue.

9. Keep It Simple
The over complication of bodybuilding nutrition is ridiculous. Here is a simple rule to follow in pursuit of mass: Fix you protein intake at a minimum of 1g per pound of bodyweight, or 1.5g for those of you with a fast metabolism or who are dieting like crazy. Then eat at least 2g of carbs per pound of bodyweight, and avoid all excess fats that are not already contained in your protein sources. If your bodyweight does not increase, add more carbs to the mix. That is it! No magic bullets for mass; instead manipulation of protein and other nutrients offers just enough ammo for gaining size.

10. Post Workout Nutrition

Ensure you ingest some simple carbs along with whey immediately after training when your body is screaming out to replace burned glycogen and supply the muscles with amino acids to begin the recuperation process. This post workout shake is a double edged sword, meaning it gives the body what it needs after training but also the simple carbs cause your body to release insulin which means the body will be primed to store a solid meal consumed within up to an hour after training

Whey Protein

Whey Protein Powder - whey protein is the ultimate source of protein - it is made from milk and occurs during the process of turning milk into cheese at which point whey protein is separated out. Protein itself is found in many foods such as fish, beef, and chicken & dairy products as well as eggs, cottage cheese, soy and vegetable protein also contain good amounts of protein. None of these can be compared in quality or ease of use with whey protein. Whey protein has the highest value in providing branched-chain amino acids, which result in building and retaining muscle tissue.

Whey protein provides the body with the necessary building blocks to produce amino acids that are used for building muscle tissue. All serious bodybuilders , athletes & sports professionals understand the importance of protein supplementation. Studies that compare whey protein to other sources found that whey protein contains the perfect combination of overall amino acid profile and in the correct concentrations for optimal performance in the body. Both hormonal and cellular responses seem to be greatly enhanced with supplementation of whey protein, as well as positive benefits on the body's immune system and as an antioxidant that helps support a healthy immune system. For Sports & Athletic Professionals however the prime usage of such supplements are that when combined with structured exercise it will result in consistent muscle building.

Whey protein is particularly important for bodybuilders & strength athletes who as they out often cause protein levels to become depleted. Taking Whey Protein Powder Supplements will by being a direct precursor to building muscle help your muscles recover and grow faster . Dieters ( or Pre-Contest Bodybuilders) wishing to lose some extra fat, whey protein balances blood sugar levels, while carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate. When the blood sugar levels stay balanced, your body is not as prone to excess eating and has more energy and greater fat loss.

Athletes & Athletic Sports Enthusiasts ( Football, Rugby, Hockey etc etc) should (depending on body size) take about 25 g of whey protein per day. Bodybuilders who want serious gains (and are burning serious calories), often take in excess of 150 grams per day. DO NOT TAKE high doses of whey protein as this will cause the body's liver to be overloaded and you won't get the same benefits as with a consistent lower amount taken three to five times per day.
