Why is Protein So Important?
It doesn't matter if you are new to fitness, there is a good chance that you have already been told that protein is an essential component of every diet. Because of this, there are a variety of protein shakes, protein bars, and other protein supplements. But do you know why protein is so important? Many people understand that it is important, but don't really understand why. Here is a closer look at why adding a P90X protein bar or protein shake is a good addition to any diet on a daily basis.
1. Building Muscle
If you ask a bodybuilder what the core of their diet is, they are going to tell you that it's protein This is because protein will help your torn muscle tissue heal after an intense workout. The healing process is actually what increases muscle strength and muscle mass. This is why the P90X Results and Recovery formula has become so popular as an after workout supplement. Tearing you muscles may sound like a painful ordeal, but the healing process is what actually creates the results that people gain from strength training.
2. Minimizing Hunger
There have been a number of studies that have reported that a diet that is high in protein will be more satisfying. One of the most prominent studies came out of Denmark in 2005. It stated that protein rich snacks and protein rich foods keep people feeling fuller, for longer than carbohydrates. By snacking on a P90X protein bar, you will not only help stave off hunger, but will also minimize the chance of an energy crash between meals.
3. Losing Weight
There are two fundamental reasons why diets high in protein can be effective for people who are trying to lose weight. The first is because foods high in protein will replace foods that have higher calorie counts. By decreasing calories, you increase your chances of losing weight. Second, you will snack less because proteins make you feel fuller for longer.
Protein has long been known to be an important component of a healthy diet. If you are trying to lose weight and/or build muscle, then adding a P90X protein bar or other protein supplement to your daily diet plan will be able help out in a variety of ways.
Knowing Your Protein Limits
As with every workout routine, there is always a group of people that will go overboard and P90X is no exception. There are people who actually workout too much, which means that their body won't be able to effectively recover. There are people who are not eating enough calories, so their body is not able to build as much muscle as it could with all of the proper nutrients. Finally, there are people are eating too much protein
If you have listened to Tony Horton at all or read the P90X Nutritional Guide, then you know that Tony Horton loves his protein and for good reason. However, there does reach a point where too much protein is nothing more than a waste. While it won't hurt you at all, it also wont help, which means you are eating extra calories for no good reason.
In fact, this is one of the reasons that Tony Horton recommends eating 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day. That way, you can benefit from an increase in overall or daily protein intake instead of forcing your body to waste it. In a previous study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, they started by confirming the well known fact that eating 30 grams of protein at a time can increase your bodies muscle protein synthesis by 50%. However, they wanted to know what the limit on protein intake was at a single sitting. They then tested the effects of eating 90 grams of protein at a single sitting and found that it was no more beneficial than eating 30 grams.
Essentially, the conclusion that was drawn was that 30 grams per sitting is about as much protein as your body can effectively breakdown and use to build muscles. So what does this mean for you?
It means that while it is critical that you give your body enough protein on a daily basis to build and maintain lean muscle, it cannot be done at a single sitting. You need to spread it out among all of your meal throughout the day. If you don't, then there are two potential results. First, you could simply be eating a bunch of extra protein and not gaining any benefits – no harm, no foul. However, the more realistic result is that you will eat all of this extra protein, which will also mean eating a bunch of extra calories. By doing this you will not be getting any benefit from the protein, while having to deal with eating too many calories.
By knowing your protein limits, you can make sure that your body is always getting the protein that it needs while also preventing yourself from adding on those extra calories that will only force you to work harder in the future to get the body that you want.
An Introduction to Protein Classifications
It doesn't matter what workout program you are following, ensuring that you have enough protein in your diet is critical. Because this can be extremely difficult to do, there are a wide range of different protein supplements on the market. Some are very focused, such as whey protein powder, whereas others have numerous ingredients as well as protein such as the P90X Results and Recovery Formula. Some trainers will tell you that they favor one particular protein type over another, especially when it comes to supplements. To give you a better idea bout what proteins could be best for your specific situation, here is a quick look some of the most popular types of proteins used in supplements across the board.
1. Whey Protein
If there is a single type of protein that stands out, then whey protein is likely the one. It is a byproduct that is created during the cheese making process. While it traditionally comes from milk, there are a number of lactose free whey protein products, such as the BeachBody Whey Protein Powder. Because whey protein is the easiest for you body to break down, it is often used by people who are trying to build muscle. Plus, it is considered to be a “complete protein”, which means that it has all of the amino acids that your body needs.
2. Egg Protein
Egg Albumin is the protein that is found in eggs. It seems like eggs has been the secret tool of body builders for decades and while you would hard pressed to find people drinking raw eggs, egg protein is still very valuable. It is a complete protein that is fairly inexpensive and is not too quickly absorbed, while also not being to slow-acting either.
3. Casein
Casein is utilized in a large number of protein supplements and can take up to 7 hours for your body to digest. That means that it can provide you with essential amino acids over a long period of time. Casein is one of the few proteins that come in many “grades”. Many people state that micellar casein would be the most beneficial or highest quality casein available.
4. Soy Protein
Soy is another well known source of protein Not only is it great for people who are vegan or vegetarian, but it also contains no cholesterol or saturated fats. While it is definitely a complete protein, it can cause digestive problems for some people.
5. Rice Protein
Of all of these sources, rice protein is probably the least common. However, it does offer vegans and vegetarians an additional source of protein in supplement form. Additionally, it comes from the endosperm of grains so that carbs are completely removed and then the proteins are extracted by enzymes. Additionally, it is considered to be a hypoallergenic protein that is low in fat and sugar. Plus, it naturally contains fiber, which can help you control your appetite.
