Protein Stun Growth?

Jack3087 Posts: 9 Joined: 2005/01/26	2005/02/02, 08:11 AM I'm 15 and 5' 10" and yesterday I was telling my friend about my new diet with more protein and he said that I could stun my growth eating protein. Is this true at all if it is to what extent? How much protein should I eat a day?

If you go by US guidelines I believe they say 15% of your calories come from protein, not a lot. Start with a protein intake of .8g/lb of bodyweight and see how you feel. But don't neglect your fruits, veggies and whole grains and drink plenty of water. -------------- Get er done

The building blocks, amino acids, that allows muscle fibre to rip, rebuild and recover. Taking protein supplements on a daily basis is an excellent idea, especially if you don't eat 3-4 healthy, balanced meals regularly. -------------- TrUsTmYaDvIcE
