Diet Video Lesson: Protein Cycling
You’ve probably heard of and even practiced cycling your carbohydrate and overall calorie intake to maximize fat loss. But there is another advanced nutritional strategy that you can apply to your diet as well which is cycling your protein intake.
Protein Cycling For Optimal Muscle Growth…
Eating a high protein diet is good and one of the keys to optimal bodybuilding nutrition. But one of the draw backs to always consuming a high protein diet is that it makes your body very efficient at breaking down protein. However, by cycling your protein intake (as shown in the video below) you can help “trick” your metabolism to slow down the break down of protein and increase protein storage within the muscle cells. This will help keep your body in a higher nitrogen balance so that you are more anti-catabolic.
