Protein, Your True Best Friend : What is a high-protein diet?

What is a high-protein diet? :

A high-protein diet is often recommended by bodybuilders and nutritionists to help efforts to build muscle and lose fat. Do note that this should not be confused with low-carb diets, which tend to not be calorie-controlled and often contain overly large quantities of fat.

While adequate protein is required for building skeletal muscle and other tissues, there is ongoing debate regarding the use and necessity of high-protein diets in weight training and bodybuilding. Various sources advise people to consume anywhere from 1.4-3.3g per kg. I will, however, rather err on the lower side, and advice you to not push beyond around 2g per kg.
