Importance of Protein for Muscle Building

Protein is essential for building muscle as it provides the necessary amino acids to support muscle growth. Consuming enough protein on a daily basis, at least one gram per pound of body weight, is important for maximizing muscle gains. Dividing protein intake into multiple feedings throughout the day can be beneficial, with three to five feedings recommended for most people. However, individual protein requirements may vary depending on factors such as genetics and overall health.
