Ran 4km and gym workout this morning.


Protein (extracted)
(4 calories/gram) - Protein is the building block of muscle, so it's no wonder why bodybuilders are recomended to take in 1-1.5g/lb of bodyweight....minimum. There has been a debate that has still never been solved claiming that high protein diets aren't necessary, and even dangerous, and that high protein diets produce more of a placebo effect. But for every study which shows high protein diets are not effective, there is another showing that they are. This is still being debated, and most likely will continue to be debated for a very long time. It is believed that high protein diets are dangerous because it requires a lot of water to digest protein, a simple answer to this problem is to drink more water. It is also believed to put strain on the kidneys, again, drinking a lot of water will help with this problem. Though most of these claims of protein being dangerous are outdated, people still choose to believe, and preach this theory. Though there seems to be no real threat, i figured this debate was worth mentioning to clear up any concerns that a new bodybuilder might have.
