Re the amount ...Prof Trim answers your questions:<BR/>1. Re the amount and type of protein to gain strength and muscle mass with weight resistance training.<BR/>“If this is for fat loss as well as muscle mass, the best type is 'fast' protein which is absorbed quickly. This is best got from whey powder obtained from dairy products, but other types of 'fast' protein are soy, seafood and lean game meats. If weight loss is not an issue and only muscle gain is important, any type of rich protein is useful. You can add eggs, cheese and dairy products to the fast protein above, but this should be consumed about an hour before or up to 2 hours after resistance training for best anabolic effects.”<BR/><BR/>2. Re being medically healthy but underweight.<BR/>“Most people would be delighted to have your condition – difficulty in gaining weight. You seem to be doing everything right, but if you are not gaining and desperately want to, the only thing open to you (provided you are eating enough total food) is to cut back on the aerobic exercise. This might be hard because this is the 'enjoyable' form – but that's the trade off. With your health indicators this should not affect your overall health (provided you maintain the resistance work).”GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-26072917247898405032008-06-03T00:46:00.000+10:002008-06-03T00:46:00.000+10:00I'm a 59 year young woman and have been doing diff...I'm a 59 year young woman and have been doing different forms of exercise (weight bearing, resistance, aerobic, strengthening, stretching, etc) on a regular basis for over 20 years. Just about all my indicators show that I'm medically healthy except that I'm underweight, 160cm tall weighing 43kgs. I always eat protein within 30 min after exercise, eg boiled eggs, home made chicken soup, etc. My muscle is 'toned' but rarely gain any if not minutely losing over the years. My exercise is always under supervision and the professional instructors are scratching their heads ... what else they can do so that I don't lose muscle mass. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-68617810840686707112008-06-02T21:49:00.000+10:002008-06-02T21:49:00.000+10:00I would like to know then, what is the recommended...I would like to know then, what is the recommended amount and type of protein to eat when trying to gain strength and muscle mass with weight resistance training?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
