Along with carbohydrates and fats, protein is an essential dietary component, especially for strength athletes and bodybuilders. Muscle fibers, blood, internal organs, and all other tissues in the body are made of protein. Even the antibodies of the immune system and all enzymes are built from proteins, which in turn consist of amino acids. Proteins ensure that our muscles aren’t broken down during a diet, for example, or that our immune system functions properly. Protein helps you maintain and build your fitness. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What Are Proteins?<\/h2>\n

Protein consists of amino acids. There are 21 different amino acids in total that can make up a protein. Of these 21 amino acids, nine are so-called essential amino acids, which the body cannot produce on its own. Therefore, these essential amino acids must be obtained through food. The essential amino acids are leucine, isoleucine, lysine, valine, phenylalanine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan. The amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine in particular stimulate protein biosynthesis in the body and should therefore be consumed after training. Essential amino acids are now also available in the form of BCAA powders or ready-to-drink beverages. BCAA stands for Branched-Chain Amino Acids and is a mixture of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Protein plays a central role in muscle recovery and regeneration and is therefore an indispensable component of protein biosynthesis. At the Ebikon gym, we offer high-quality protein powders as well as BCAA drinks to help you boost your protein biosynthesis after training. <\/p>\n

How Much Protein Do I Need?<\/h2>\n

The German Nutrition Society recommends 1.0 g of protein per kg of body weight. For athletic activities, diets, or muscle building, 1.5 to 2.0 g per kg of body weight is recommended. When it comes to protein intake, you should pay attention not only to quantity but also to the quality of the protein. A measure of protein quality is biological value, which describes how efficiently the consumed protein can be converted into the body’s own protein. Generally speaking, the biological value of animal proteins is higher than that of plant proteins. <\/p>\n

This is because animal protein sources typically contain a broader spectrum of amino acids than plant protein sources.<\/p>\n

The egg serves as the maximum value with a biological value of 100. Other foods with high biological value include fish, meat, cheese, and quark. It’s best to combine plant and animal protein sources so that the meal contains as much of the complete amino acid spectrum as possible. At the Ebikon gym, we recommend that our members eat a balanced diet and pay attention to their protein intake. <\/p>\n

Protein Is Especially Helpful for Weight Loss<\/h2>\n

Losing weight is difficult for many people. Losing fat sustainably seems impossible for most. To successfully lose weight sustainably, you need to reduce your calorie intake and increase your physical activity. This is the only way to break the vicious cycle of dieting and the yo-yo effect. At the Ebikon gym, we know about the important role of protein in weight loss, because protein keeps you full longer and increases the body’s thermogenesis. Eating healthy also means consuming enough protein. Protein helps keep insulin levels stable and prevents cravings. <\/p>\n

This makes it easier to consume fewer calories than the body burns. This creates the foundation for successful weight loss, because increased exercise alone is not enough for sustainable weight reduction. <\/p>\n

1 kilogram of body fat consists of about 9,000 kcal. To lose 1 kilogram of fat, you would have to do about 30 hours of exercise at a calorie burn of 300 kcal per hour. This is exactly where protein helps us save additional calories through its long-lasting satiety effect. <\/p>\n
