While many issues can arise if you don’t get enough protein while working out, these are the top three most common issues we see in the trenches of sports nutrition:
This happens because muscle is broken down when you work your tail off in the gym, but there is insufficient protein to repair and rebuild those worn-down muscles.
The more lean muscle you have on your body, the more calories your body needs and utilizes to keep those muscles fueled.
Insufficient protein and fat intake despite consuming enough total calories can lead to persistent hunger despite regular eating intervals.
You can expect to feel sore, tired, & not quite as lean and or muscular as you desire if you lift weights but don’t eat protein.
Negative health consequences may occur you may notice hair loss and a weakened immune system.
