Without Protein, No Muscles. Fat and carbs are turned into triglycerides and glucose, which your body burns for energy when you run, lift weights, cycle, or walk to work. But when it comes to building muscle, it's protein that you need most. Your body needs complete proteins every 3 to 4 hours in order to ensure that there are enough amino acids available for muscle building. Your body needs a certain combination of 9 different amino acids in order to build muscle.
While studies are mixed about whether consuming more protein leads to weight loss, research is pretty clear that protein can help you retain more of your lean muscle as you lose fat. One 2011 study suggests amping up protein to as much as 1.8 to 2 grams per kilogram (roughly 0.8 to 0.9 grams per pound) of body weight per day to stave off muscle loss when restricting calories. Cut back on refined carbs to balance out the extra calories from adding protein.
