Not sure if I agree with you on that. Whilst getting 15% of your calories from protein may be OK if you are looking to just maintain muscle mass I think you need more if you are trying to increase muscle mass through weight lifting. The body does recycle protein to maintain and repair existing cells. However, if you want to build new muscle cells you need more protein and then you will need to continue eating this extra protein to maintain and repair these new muscle cells. Also, don't forget the body can use protein for energy too. Lean proteins are often a much healthier energy source than processed carbohydrates. Hi there. Not sure if I agree with you on that.

Fortunately, your body actually recycles protein from tissues that break down and uses it to make new ones. So you do not need more than 10 to 15 percent of your total calories from protein.
