The question actually contains two questions: Should I eat protein powder to build muscles? And whether to eat protein powder or muscle building powder?
Let's start with the conclusion: eat when you need to; Eat whatever you need.
The so-called muscle training is uniformly called according to our ordinary people's understandingFitnessbar.
Fitness is inevitably divided into two phases: the muscle-building phase and the maintenance phase.
1 Muscle-building phase
If you're just starting out in fitness training, you'll have a newbie bonus period: you'll grow muscle no matter how you train.
Try not to eat protein powder at this time.
It is better to eat more, eat at noon, and add two meals of dried fruits in the middle of the normal meal. If you practice too hard and the exercise part still hurts after 48 hours (the exercise part is delayed and painful), it is recommended to consider the reduction first: just start practicing, the movements are not proficient and accurate, first consider not getting hurt, especially pay attention not to solidify the wrong movements.
Of course, some people are very talented, skillful in their movements, and have remarkable effects, and soon enter a state of rapid muscle gain, but the protein supplement is not timely, and the pain is unbearable; Moreover,I can't eat it.
This stage needs to be pressed by 15 2 times the protein supplement. If you weigh 70 kg, press 1If you supplement it 5 times, it is 105g, which is equivalent to the complete absorption of the protein content of 15 whole eggs. It's absorption, not eating, it's more that should be eaten.
At this time, please make a decision according to your own situation, and drink as soon as you want. However, there is a difference between skinny and fat people's muscle-building powders. See the table below for details

2 Maintenance phase
The principle of taking protein powder in the maintenance phase is the same as in the muscle-building phase: the pain in the exercise area is delayed, but the protein supplement is not timelyI can't eat it.
When a person's muscle dimension is large enough, protein powder supplementation is required just to maintain this dimension.
At this time, whey protein needs to be supplemented, as detailed in the middle column of the table above.
The following is the address of Combit Jingdong's self-operated store, which also has ordinary whey protein products, pay attention to the distinction.
The biggest benefit of supplementing with protein powder: from my personal experience, the pain is much less in the 24 hours after the workout.
