What should you do if your job is physical and you can't seem to gain or hold muscle mass even though you eat easily enough protein and carbs every day and only train twice a week?

You body is starved for nutrition. Protien and carbs is not all you body requires. Eat a balanced diet and you body will be happy and retain more muscle mass.

What happens to your bodies not enough protein?
it starts to break down muscle
Why would a person lose muscle tissue while on a high-protein diet?
If a person is not taking in enough calories, and is losing weight, they are losing muscle mass. They may not be getting enough in their high-protein diet.
What is more effective to gain muscle- eating protein and the working out or the opposite?
To gain muscle you MUST workout. If the body is not stressed enough to send the signals to build muscle, it will not matter how much protein you consume. If you are training very hard attaining a certain level of protein in the diet will optimize results but protein by itself will not build muscle.
Is it healthy to be all muscle?
as long as you eat enough protein and cal. to nourish the muscles
When starving yourself does it eat your muscle away and help get rid of it?
When dieting, not just when starving yourself, your muscles damage themselves while being used. The damage isn't as severe as tearing a muscle, but the tissue does need time to recover. If there's enough protein in the body, resting will allow the body to use the protein to repair the muscle tissue. If there isn't enough protein, the body may try to get it elsewhere, but in general it cannot convert other stored mass, such as fat, into protein. Thus you start to lose muscle tissue. This is '''not''' a healthy way to reduce muscle tissue.
Why is it important to have protein in your diet?
Protein is needed for muscle growth and repair. Regular physical training tends to reduce muscle protein breakdown and protein loss from the body. While some protein breakdown may occur during exercise, protein build-up is enhanced during the recovery and the effectiveness of protein synthesis is increased. When muscle glycogen stores are high, protein contributes no more than 5% of the energy needed. However, when muscle glycogen stores are low, due to inadequate calorie and carbohydrate intake, protein is used for energy rather than for muscle growth and repair and may contribute as much as 10% of the energy needed for exercise. Such use of protein for fuel is expensive and inefficient.

How do molting penguins obtain enough protein to produce new feathers?
They stockpile extra muscle proteins prior to molting, which then supply amino acids for protein synthesis.
High protein foods to gain weight?
if you want to gain weight the healthy way then it has to be majorly from muscle.Muscle is made up of protein completely and to build muscle we have to provide our body with lots of protein.So high protein diet coupled with proper physical training - muscle gain/weight gain
How do you know if you need more protein?
Protein helps build many essential parts of a person's body; particularly muscle. If you feel that you are not muscular enough, you should exercise more and eat more protein.
What happens when you consume lots of protein?
Protein builds muscle, and muscle burns fat.
Does the heart contain protein?
yes the heart contains protein because muscle is made of protein and the heart is a huge muscle.
