i started gym 2 months ago and i've visibly gained muscle and lost weight(fats). however i wish to lose more fat and gain more muscle by consuming protein. but alot of people said that losing fat and eating protein doesn't go together. need your opinions.
any reply, thanks x1000.

You are like saying you don't eat protein on a daily basis. Your fat comes from carbs, not protein. But if you're referring to bulking, you will definitely gain some fat along the way.

Protein is in nearly everything you consume. If you mean whey protein, which I think you do, then there's no problem taking it, no matter what your goals. These 'a lot of people' deserve to get flushed down the toilet.

sorry, my bad. the protein i'm referring to is whey protein.

but i have another question here. say after 1 or 2 years of gym, you're buff with muscles. you decide to stop working out. will your muscle become saggy? or lose shape? coz "a lot of people" told me it'll be saggy.

If you are buff with muscles why would you decide to stop working out? Yes if you never jaga your diet and if you don't do any form of exercise. But then again my dad is 50+ and still in great shape, he wakes up early in the morning to do stretching and some pullups, plays badminton and squash once a week, and has pecs and abs.

oh.. thanks for the replies. appreciate it.

at the age of 50? wow. Respect your father bro. How's his diet like?

fookie, are u from sitiawan?

Dude, firstly, don't listen to "a lot of people". When I started training in my early teens, I wished that I have gotten advice from great websites, books, magazines and experienced people in the sport. "a lot of ppl" have wrong ideas of what is right about dieting and training.

Yea, you should start taking whey now (actually, u should have started awhile ago). It won't make you fat if you're training hard. Your body won't waste such a precious commodity. I'm losing weight for Mr KL now and I take 315g of protein per day.

Umm, just breakfast, lunch, dinner and yoghurt and fruits in between. Good genes I guess haha.

Another question. One scoop of whey is how much gms?

depends on brand

Nitrotech 1 scoop of whey is 25g's

but anyways if you want to know then just google each particular brand name. the list of ingredients is abundant on the net. do a little research before asking dude you'll be surprised how much info you can gather from just googling.

who is this alot of people? and what do they look like? they look like arnold? nick auger? ryan reynolds?
or typical chubby malaysians?
sometimes its not that difficult to tell whose advice not to follow

hi fook weng. =.=
