  • #160: Does Protein Powder Actually Help You Build Muscle?

    In this episode, I explain whether or not protein powder is actually a muscle builder and growth enhancer like so many believe it to be and how so many tout it as.

    Protein and muscle have long been linked with each other - and for good reason! Protein is important for building muscle after all.

    However, with the growing interest in protein and nutrition as well as the emergence many years ago of protein powder supplements (popularity that has in fact continued to grow), we need to explore the notion that protein powder = muscle growth.

    So does protein powder lead to building some juicy lean muscle mass gains? Do you need protein powder to grow your muscles?

    In today’s podcast episode, I will cover:

    • Fundamentals of muscle growth nutrition explained
    • Protein powder 101 (the purpose behind it)
    • Does protein powder help you build muscle? (the big Q answered)

    Listen to the full episode to learn more about real nutrition and the experiences of a Sports Dietitian.

    As a Dietitian and Nutritionist, I work with many clients who want to lose weight to some extent or another and this has led to me having a lot of experience in this area over the years.

    In today’s podcast episode, I will cover:

    • The fundamentals of fat loss recapped
