Protein in Balance

Protein like with everything is about balance. The amount of protein you need depends on you individually everyone is different! Balance your protein intake to fit your body's needs. Eating more than the amount of protein your body requires will slow your digestive process, but it will also hinder your muscle-building process because it will constantly try to play catch-up by ridding itself of the excess. The same goes for the flip side, if you don’t take in enough protein and your body functions at a higher rate, you won't gain the muscle you want if you don't feed the muscles enough. Take in protein before training and also post-training and rest and recovery periods.
