A bodybuilding diet plan does not need to be high in protein. In fact, it shouldn’t be that high in protein. Your body does not store protein as readily as it does carbohydrates (as glycogen). There is no mechanism for storing protein in the body. A bit of it can be stored as glycogen or fat, but once it is broken down into either or, it cannot be put back together because the amine group is separated and excreted in the urine as urea. In other words, an excess of protein will put a large strain on your kidneys. Studies have shown that you don’t need that much protein. In fact, 1.7-1.8 grams per kilogram of bodyweight is all you need. All those ads you see in magazines and what not about how you need this much protein is false; they’re just trying to sell their product. If you want to gain size then simply increase your calories. Do not worry about protein because chances are you’re getting more than enough.
