Myth: Protein is the most important nutrient for athletes.
Reality: "It is true that athletes need more protein than sedentary people. They just don't need as much as they think. And they probably don't need it from supplements; they're probably getting plenty in their food," Rosenbloom says.

But timing matters. Rosenbloom recommends that after weight training, athletes consume a little bit of protein -- about 8 grams, the amount in a small carton of low-fat chocolate milk -- to help their muscles rebuild.

"That's probably all you need," she says. "You don't need four scoops of whey powder to get that amount of protein.".

LOL, and I'm not even a doctor.

*googles searches for something more credible than himself*

LOL, right here...

Yes there is. There was a study or two done that showed the metabolism increased slightly when more water was consumed for long periods of time.

Of course, don't drink too much water. I'd say no more than a gallon for a normal person and two gallons for an athlete with muscle. No more than that or you'll get headaches, nausea, or, worst case scenario, death via hyponatremia. (Caused by hyperhydration, lol.)




What a load of B.S. I've even been exposed to this faulty line of thinking in MEDICAL BOOKS in COLLEGE courses. They say that the body can't handle more than 30 grams of protein at a time and list all sorts of absurd conservative protein amounts. For a 200lb muscular athlete, it would be 50-60 grams post workout with maybe 60 or 70 grams of carbs. If you are an athlete but not trying to put on muscle, probably closer to 40 grams with 50 grams of carbs. Within one hour, post workout nutrition is one of the if not the most important times to get proper post workout nutrition, with a nice post workout protein and carb profile. I'd say just the average joe looing to lose weight and look nice, the 40/50 item I suggested fits rather nice. Usually, females should consume less....25/40.

Remember, we evolved off of a diet that contained about 70-85% meat. The body works really nice if we bump up our protein and fat intake and decrease our carb intake. Body builders have known about this for ages...

I don' feel like looking up several studies to back up what I'm saying. Just take my word for it or look it up if you want.
