What is the difference in the whey protein and calories into muscle?
I know that protein is needed in muscle building. . But I’ve also heard that you have more calories than you gain weight, need to build the muscle. . . And I know that rice is carbohydrate. . Now my question is, do you need more than enough calories to work for the whey protein to gain more muscle mass? As if you are not enough calories. . But enough whey protein, you are the muscles. . ? and vice versa?
Some background first:
Your body uses calories for everything that it does all day long, including calories that come from protein. Protein is essential to a number of things, not just building muscles. SO, if you get enough protein, but not enough calories, your body is going to use that protein first to perform normal body functions and if you didn’t get enough carbs it’s going to turn some of that protein into carbs which means it’s being taken away from muscle building. If it still has any protein leftover it will use that build muscle but you won’t build as much.
If you DO eat enough calories for muscle building it will use all the other calories for bodily functions and will then have the whey protein calories leftover to build muscle.
So getting your protein but not getting calories will just result in much LESS muscle building, but it will probably still occur.
If you get the calories but not the protein your body will use those calories to store weight but as FAT.
