Protein is the most important to grow muscles but there are other factors.

Step1 Protein-

To optimized muscle growth every bodybuilder should eat one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight each day

Protein is the bedrock of muscle building process

Step2 Carbohydrates-

eat 3g of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight everyday. Carbohydrates crucial fpr providing body with efficient source of energy to fuel your workouts help add quality mass source of energy to fuel your workouts help add quality mass.

Step3Fat-

Eat healthy fats coming from olives, avocado, fish, nuts, seeds, peanut butter, canola oil.

Recommended 20-24ounces of salmon or other cold water fish a week.

Step4calories-

increase calories by a third to build greater mass (healthy calories)

Step5increments-

if your goal is more from 3000 to 4000 calories a day, do so in 3 increments of more than 300 calories each. After 1st bump maintain caloric level for a week to allow body to adjust to extra calories.

eat six meals a day 7 may prove to be an even more effective number of meals. eat large amount of small meals throughout your day

drink 3 pints of water per day. Gallon of water recommended to clean up tissue

aim to eat 30g of fiber per day good source of fiber oatmeal, whole grain, fruit, vegetable,nuts, seeds.

Answer 2

Whey protein is not a get big quick fix. It is protein. The same protein that is in milk. It does the same job as the protein in meat. The main reason for taking it after training is because it is easily and quickly digested. In my opinion you should not be mixing it with milk after training as the majority of protein in milk is casein which is a slow digesting protein and thus may defy the logic of taking the whey in the first place.

If you arent growing you may need to start taking more protein each day eg add in a extra meal somewhere. Or you might just need to change your routine up a bit to encourage new growth Or you are not working as hard/smart as you think you are.

EDIT: The ideal things to put in your shake-  as much whey as you feel the need for (25-50g), Dextrose and maltodextrin.

The sugars are individual as to how much you want to put in.

This can be handy for figuring out amounts. Although you only need to put in what you want/have http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/pwcalcula...

Answer 3

Actually, whey protein is just milk proteins.  Usually whey proteins are produced as a by-product of cheese production.  Whey protein is valuable as a dietary supplement because it is an easily absorbed complete protein.  If you are trying to gain muscle mass the amount of protein that you will need is actually quite small and any good diet will contain more than enough protein for the purpose.  Gaining muscle mass is extremely difficult and it will take you years to do it, please be patient.

Answer 4

you gotta have a good diet the whole day, plus i would only take it after the workout with a fast carb, like cream of rice.  you can only absorb so much protein in a certain time so spread it out over the whole day.
