the answer is healthy eating and aslo dieting and then exserzie
protein is neede for the body to build muscles, and muscles are important to athletes.
Both athletes need almost equivalent portions of protein during the training phase. This is because protein is used primarily to repair the damage to muscle fibers during training. Endurance athletes and strength athletes damage their muscles in different ways however, which leads to the formation of differing types of musculature.
An average individual needs about (Yourbodyweight in pounds X .7) Athletes and Bodybuilders need much more then this number though.
The answer is simply athletes do more sports than most people e.g swimming, tennis etc. but, athletes need more protein to do this as they use up most energy on doing the sport they do.
Protein supplements are excellent sources of nutrients for athletes, especially runners. As a runner your body is in constant need of replenishing and repairing itself, protein helps to do this.
LOVE, PROTEIN, AND WATER
Protein does help build muscle! the typical person in the US and Canada consumes way more protein than is recommended so no, you don't need to. Even athletes in training don't typically need to because usually high energy foods also contain high protein. However that is based on the assumption of a typical American diet. If you eat well and follow the nutritional guidelines: a range of 10-35% of your total calorie intake is recommended. (athletes need about 5% more)
You don't need any. It's the protein that you need. You can get all the protein you need from vegetables, whole grains, and especially legumes.
As much as Protein.
123g of protein a day
Athletes eat more calories than average people. They need more protein and more carbohydrates.
A good amount of protein after a work about is about 20 grams of protein, which is best in a shake. Your muscles need protein and amino acid and other suppliments to repair your muscles from damage.
