  • Protein is the incredibly important thing while muscle building. We have to eat enough for getting protein. It is a different opinion that how much protein you have to take. Many official nutrition organizations recommend a fairly modest protein intake. Protein work as building blocks for Muscle, hair, nails and your skin. So if you are trying to build muscle then your protein need for your body get higher.

    Your 13% is an incredibly random figure. I'm cutting on 2500 calories a day, and 1g/lb LBM (so less than if I did total weight). As such, I'm consuming about 200g of protein a day - 800 calories, or 32%.
