Why Do We Need Protein?

High-protein nutrition is essential whatever your training goal. Follow these important nutrition rules to maximise your physique, performance and recovery.

How much protein?

Aim to consume around 1.5-2g protein per kg of body mass per day. Extensive research shows that active individuals need more protein than the less active.

Multi-goal protein

Extra protein is essential whatever your physique or performance goal, including losing weight, playing sport, and increasing muscle.

Protein timing

Whey protein shakes like Promax deliver protein rapidly to your muscles, which is highly beneficial in the morning and before and after training. For a slower protein source in the evening or before bed, mix Promax with a glass of milk or some low-fat yoghurt.

Whole food proteins

Aim to consume a wide variety of high-quality complete proteins such as lean meat, eggs and fish.

Regular protein

A regular intake of high-quality protein supplies your body with the building blocks it needs to repair and grow muscle tissue. Ideally eat protein every 2-3 hours.
