SUPER DIET FOR SUPERMAN

MYTH: When trying to gain muscle, one should eat extra amounts of protein.

FACT: Around 10 – 35% of the daily dietary intake should be protein – whether trying to gain weight, lose weight, or maintain weight. Most of this comes from our regular food and we seldom need to take protein supplements. Recent studies show that consuming additional amounts of protein don’t correlate with muscle growth. Also, extra protein does not make you stronger. There is no super-diet for super performance. Besides, high protein diet often lack key nutrients found in carbohydrate foods. You need every kind of food.
