Protein has always been an essential source of nutrient for body building especially for the past 5 years where the public has been more exposed to diets of low carbs that includes a high protein portion.
Body builders and trainers must eat protein consistently as much as 1 gram of protein for every 1 pound of bodyweight.
For example, a person who weight 200 pounds will have to consume 200 grams of protein per day in his diet. Anything less than that and the recovery process of muscle as well as any body building efforts will not be as effective.
Some trainers have been known to consume up to 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight to increase the speed of muscle building process. However, this is not recommended for everybody especially if you are just starting out. Your protein consumption also should be spread over 5 to 6 meals.
Sources of protein can obtained from:

If you have a goal of losing fat, it is necessary to eat a high protein diet. This is because protein foods in nature are low in carbs and also low in saturated fats. Thus, by eating high protein food, you are actually consuming low calorie quality foods. Reducing carbs and calories while maintaining the consumption of protein as a nutrient to build muscle will speed up the fat loss process.
Timing of protein consumption is also crucial in the muscle building process. Although you are constantly consuming protein, you should be eating more protein during your breakfast, after your workouts and before your bed meal. Start your day by having high protein breakfast. A protein shake is recommended after your workouts and a slow digesting protein before you sleep such as casein.
Regardless of whether you are a body builder, protein intake is necessary to repair your muscle tissues. It is further more crucial for the body builders as protein provides the building blocks for muscle growth.
