Protein supplements for girls

I use myprotein powder and mix it either with milk or water to repair/build my muscles. One scoop is about 100 cals, so as long as you consider it for your overall daily intake you wont go ver your calories.

They dont make you loose weight, however simply, 'the more muscle you build over time, the easier it is for your body to burn calories', so combining cardio and weight training is very beneficial to loose weight, gain muscle and be healthy :-)

Would you get fat if you took them and didnt exercise enough?

No, not as long as you're not going over on your calories.

Protein repairs muscles that you damage during workouts. Protein doesn't help you lose weight, a calorie deficit (burning more calories than you consume) is what causes humans to lose weight.

Protein supplements are useful for those wanting to build muscle that do not consume enough natural proteins during the day.

There are no supplements for girls, they are unisex.

This is wrong.

PROTEIN AND WEIGHT LOSS

High Protein and High Dairy Intake Increases Fat LossJosse AR et al.
Increased consumption of dairy foods and protein during diet- and exercise-induced weight loss promotes fat mass loss and lean mass gain in overweight and obese pre-menopausal women.
J Nutr. 2011 Sep; 141(9):1626-34.

If you adhere to the Food Guide Pyramid or follow mainstream dietary, you know it's sacrilege to recommend that people consume more than 15% of their daily calories as protein. However, as more data supports higher-protein diets and their beneficial effects on everything from body composition and blood glucose control to support for persons with ADHD, sacrilege may become sacrosanct.

Consider a study that placed 90 overweight and obese adult women on either a low-dairy diet following the RDA for protein (15% of total calories as protein, and less than 2% of total calories from dairy products, respectively), an RDA protein level and moderate-dairy diet (7.5% of calories from dairy), or a high-protein (30%) and high-dairy diet (15%), in combination with daily exercise for 16 weeks. The results clearly support a higher protein and dairy diet for significant improvements in body composition.

Specifically, the high-protein and high-dairy diet significantly decreased fat mass and increased lean body mass better than the other groups.

Notably, only the high-protein and high-dairy group realized an increase in lean body mass, whereas the moderate-dairy and low-protein/low-dairy groups actually had no change or a significant reduction in lean mass.

The Bottom Line:
Eat your protein! High-protein, high-dairy diets - when combined with daily exercise - produce better results than low-protein, low-dairy diets for losing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass.

Practical Application:
If you're beginning a calorie-restricted exercise and diet program, consume 6-7 servings of low-fat dairy per day, and select your foods so that 30% of your total daily calories come from protein.

SUPPLEMENTS FOR FEMALES

I realize that I may be being nitpicky here, but this study doesn't say that more protein helps you lose weight. The study clearly states that weight loss was the same across all groups. Yes, the high protein groups lost more fat and increased LBM, which is really what most people want, but they did not lose any more weight.

"The Bottom Line:
Eat your protein! High-protein, high-dairy diets - when combined with daily exercise - produce better results than low-protein, low-dairy diets for losing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass. "

lol?
