And some, on the other hand, think that if they don't consume the supplement, they'll never achieve their fitness goals which absolutely does not make any sense.

So, today through this blog we'll be clearing all the doubts regarding supplements that have been troubling you all for maybe years!!

Hey Real Knowledge Seeker's!!

So, We are again back with yet another informative content with very interesting topic that is to be discussed and this post is surely gonna help to know every aspects of protein powder's or whey protein supplements. This will help you to build some really genuine and high quality knowledge.

1. We have just started the gym, should I need to take protein powders?

Answer: You can take also and you cannot!! but before jumping directly into your decision, please do consider your brother's (Team Real Knowledge) advice. Now, first let's understand what is protein!? Well, when we talk about protein, most people link it with the protein powders or supplements but it is not like that. 

In fact, when we talk about protein, it means to a protein "nutrient" which requires our body to build or sustain the muscle mass. Now, it is clear that protein is an extremely vital nutrient when we talk about muscle building. 

So, if you are a complete beginner, we would not suggest you to supplement your protein requirements instead you should be focusing on learning the correct techniques and forms of various exercises, learn how to balance the "macros"(Protein, Carbohydrates, and fats) in your diet. 

Know about maintenance calories and spend your money on collecting wholesome foods which can actually help you get closer to your fitness goals. Try to include protein from different food sources like fish, egg, chicken, milk, yogurt, sprouts, beans, pulses, soya and many more.

 Now, you might be thinking that then why even this protein supplements exists!!?? Well, they (protein powders) just help you to reach your fitness goals if your all other factors of fitness are on point like your nutrition, your workout, water and if you are having a good quality sleep and moreover we didn't suggest beginner a protein supplement. 

Because your body (beginners body) have never experienced weight training or good nutrition in general but when you make your body lift weights or to perform any kind of resistance training, it will eventually force your muscle grow to bear that heavy loads up to some extent. So, as it will be the whole different thing which your body will be experiencing and moreover in your initial years, you won't be having serious muscle mass. Having said that, you won't be having serious muscle mass in your initial years that simply means that your protein requirement will be less as compared any advanced athlete.

Any individuals takes any supplement when their diet cannot meet their required daily dosage of any particular "nutrient" according to their fitness goals. And when you don't have serious muscle mass you don't require a lot of protein that you need to supplement it. 

You(beginners) can get it through your well-structured diet and with the passage of time when your muscles grow, you can add supplements if required based on your goals. 

At the end you just need to hit your protein goal every day no matter what is the source of protein because your body just knows protein and every time when you provide your body protein, it just breaks it down into amino acids which further get stored in your blood cells and blood carrying all the amino acids get it delivered to your muscles to grow!! 

We hope this was highly informative and cleared every doubts regarding protein supplements abd we also hope that after going through what we have said and suggested, Anyone can decide whether they should take supplements or not..!??
