A member asked:
Can eating more protein make you better at sports?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whey protein: While protein won't necessarily make you better at sports directly is does have benefits. Studies looking at whey protein preparations in particular have shown benefits with weight loss, lean muscle growth as well as muscle recovery especially when combined with glutamine and in conjunction with exercise. Typical doses for protein are in the range 0.5-1.5 mg/kg body weight daily.
