Protein: How Low Can You Go Without Losing Muscle?
Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews
Protein Intake and Muscle Retention: Training Frequency and Low Protein Days
For those training twice a week, a personal preference of upper or lower body workouts is acceptable. Adding some resistance training alongside the workouts, just a few sets per major muscle group per week, can help with muscle retention. Experienced weightlifters should aim for 0.5-0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. On the topic of protein intake, having one or two low protein days won't cause muscle loss. You can safely reduce protein intake to zero without losing muscle. Enjoy a weekend trip with delicious, low-protein foods without worrying about muscle loss.
