Soon after exercising, it is recommended that we have a serving of high-quality protein (such as a glass of milk or tub of yogurt) with a carbohydrate meal to help maintain our body’s protein balance. Studies have shown this is good for us, even after low to moderate aerobic exercise (such as walking), particularly for older adults.
People who exercise vigorously or are trying to put on muscle mass do not need to consume extra protein. High-protein diets do not lead to increased muscle mass. It is the stimulation of muscle tissue through exercise, not extra dietary protein, which leads to muscle growth.
Studies show that weight trainers who do not eat extra protein (either in food or protein powders) still gain muscle at the same rate as weight trainers who supplement their diets with protein.
