How much protein do I need to build muscle? It’s a question every guy who is serious about adding muscle has asked… Unfortunately however, if you fall victim to the protein supplement industry’s propaganda you will probably end up eating WAY more protein than you need…
In fact, if you listen to what mainstream publications like Muscle and Fitness say about how much protein you need to build muscle you could end up eating up to 500 grams of protein a day… and that’s just CRAZY!
Just look at who advertises in these publications… It’s all supplement companies, and even the beef industry for cripes sake, so obviously it is in their financial interest to get you to buy and ingest MORE PROTEIN.
These businesses DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH or you physique, they are written by guys who are on steroids, and there only real concern is to keep their advertisers happy.
The fact is that eating too much protein is extremely detrimental to your health, and although getting some protein is necessary for building muscle most guys who are trying to gain muscle eat way more protein than their bodies need or even want to function at an optimal level.
I should know, I used to be a total protein junky, if I wasn’t eating protein within 45 minutes of finishing a workout I felt like something was terribly wrong… And I was spending nearly a thousand dollars a month on grass-fed sirloin steaks, fish, and tubs of high end protein powder… What a waste!
Here's Brad Pilon author of The Truth About Protein
A former supplement developer, research scientist, personal trainer and co-creator of the Adonis Effect program named Brad Pilon, just came out with a book called Truth About Protein where he exposes the dirty secrets that the bodybuilding and supplement industries don’t want you to know about protein.
Brad used to be convinced that he needed to eat a ton of protein to build muscle, and he worked for years formulating protein supplements for big companies. However after conducting his own clinical research he made a number of discoveries that basically spit in the face of protein powder, beef, egg or dairy industries, and their billion dollar PR campaigns.
I’ve been a huge fan of Brad’s since the Adonis Effect came out a few years back and consider him one of the most honest and knowledgable experts on the subject of protein intake and muscle gain. So if you want to true answer to the question “How much protein do I need to build muscle?” brad SHOULD be your go to guy! In this book he reveals:
- Why figuring out your protein needs based on a formula such as 2.2 grams per pound of body weight is the WRONG way to figure out how much protein you need…
- How you can actually burn LESS fat and carbohydrates by increasing your daily protein (Brad PROVES this fact with scientific research)
- How to gain 4.5 pounds of PURE muscle in just 10 weeks…eating only 120 grams of protein per day
- How vegetarians can easily gain JUST as much muscle as people eating meat everyday (Fact: One of the most well-known supplement companies in the world funded this study – which PROVES they’re lying to you in their advertising!)
- Why anybody who thinks you need hundreds of grams of protein per day DON’T know a single FREAKIN’ thing about how the body works.
- And of course much more…
