MYTH - By increasing my protein intake I will build huge muscles.

Lifestyle - Food Tips

Adequate protein is essential for muscle repair and maintenance. However, every gram of dietary protein is not converted to a gram of muscle. Consuming more protein than your body requires can result in the excess being stored as fat if your overall kilojoule intake exceeds energy expenditure. Without the appropriate strength training regime your body will not automatically convert the protein to muscle. So if you want to increase your muscle mass, combine a well-balanced diet with an appropriate strength training program.
