8 Week High Protein Diet Test

There are a lot of myths and rumors about high-protein diets floating around the gym. Those wanting to know more about the concept might be interested in a scientific study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition comparing different protein diets while weight training.
 
A dozen healthy men with weight room experience were assigned to two 8-week periods during which they consumed a diet containing about 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day or 3 grams per kg of body weight per day.
 
The higher protein diet contained more calories, but was otherwise similar to the lower protein diet. Neither eating program significantly altered weight room performance, body composition or markers of general health. Check out today’s Performance Blog for carb supplementation tips.
