Protein – GymMeUp

The building blocks of muscle, strength, and serious recovery. This is what you’re made of — literally.

What Are Proteins?

Proteins are essential macronutrients made up of amino acids. They're the raw material your body uses to build and repair tissues — including your muscles, skin, organs, and even enzymes and hormones.

Why Protein Matters in Fitness

💪 Muscle Repair: After every intense workout, your muscles need protein to rebuild stronger.
📈 Muscle Growth: Protein provides the building blocks for hypertrophy (growth).
🔥 Fat Loss: High-protein diets preserve lean mass and boost thermogenesis.
😋 Satiety: Keeps you full longer and stabilizes blood sugar to reduce cravings.

Types of Protein

Complete Proteins: Contain all 9 essential amino acids. Found in meat, eggs, dairy, whey, soy.
Incomplete Proteins: Found in plant sources like beans, lentils, rice — best combined for full profile.
Whey & Casein: Fast and slow digesting proteins great for pre/post-workout and overnight recovery.

When Should You Eat Protein?

🏋️ Post-Workout: Critical for muscle recovery and growth. Aim for 20–40g of fast-digesting protein.
🍳 Breakfast: Kickstart metabolism and preserve lean mass during fasted hours.
🛌 Before Bed: Casein protein supports overnight repair while you sleep.

GymMeUp Pro Tip:

Don't just “hit your macros.” Master your timing. Spread your protein evenly throughout the day for maximum muscle synthesis — not just one big chicken bomb at dinner.
