Yash Birla, the fitness icon, says that the ability of your body to maintain or gain muscle is significantly influenced by the meals you eat. The ability to create and maintain muscle mass is greatly aided by eating a sufficient amount of protein. According to a 2018 study that was published in Nutrients, people need to ingest 1.6 grammes of protein per kilogramme of body mass each day in order to gain muscle. This is equivalent to 109 grams of protein per day for a person weighing 150 pounds (68 kg).
Protein is important for maintaining muscle mass, but it is not the only factor to take into account, says Yash Birla.
