Want to gain muscle, in addition to fitness training, diet should pay more attention to protein's supplement. Whether the bodybuilder's protein intake is enough will directly affect the bodybuilder's muscle building efficiency. And if you want to supplement protein, you must work hard on your diet. Like many bodybuilders, beef is highly recommended to supplement protein, not only because beef is rich in protein, but also because amino acids in beef are more easily absorbed by human body. Of course, apart from beef, the most commonly used method for bodybuilders to supplement protein is probably protein powder. These two kinds of food can be said to be excellent sources to supplement protein, but they are different. So what's the difference between exercising and eating beef with protein powder?
Changes in muscle shape
In fact, whether eating beef or protein powder, its fundamental purpose is to supplement the protein ingredients needed by the body to gain muscle. There is no difference in protein composition between the two foods, so as long as the daily intake of protein is enough, the muscle building efficiency of the two foods will not be much different. But it should be noted that the fat content of beef is higher than that of protein powder. Under the same conditions, bodybuilders who eat beef will have a higher body fat rate.
The difference in muscle state between them.
Although it seems that protein powder is more suitable for bodybuilders to gain muscle than beef, bodybuilders who eat protein powder may not be as good as bodybuilders who eat beef in terms of muscle state. The main reason is that beef is rich in amino acids, among which creatine plays a great role in maintaining muscle state, while the nutrient in protein powder is mainly protein, so there will be a big gap between them in muscle state.
Advantages of protein powder
The advantages of protein powder are actually obvious, that is, in many aspects. For example, when two bodybuilders need to supplement protein immediately after training at the same time, bodybuilders who eat protein powder can drink it immediately after washing, while bodybuilders who eat beef to supplement protein may need to process beef. It is always unsightly to take beef to the gym, which is one of the reasons why many bodybuilders choose protein powder. After all, it is really convenient.
Therefore, diet is only a part of the factors, and more depends on personal training and personal fitness frequency, and even fitness talent. But this gentleman still suggested that beef is better if conditions permit.
If you exercise, would you choose protein powder or beef?
