Are muscles built when you consume protein while being sore?

Just had some abs-intensive exercises with my gym trainer yesterday and so my core has been kinda sore (hurts a little when I poke it) all day long today. I was told that this soreness will likely last a couple days and that this is the period of time where muscles are built - as long as sufficient protein is consumed.

Six Simple Ways For You To Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
You were told wrong. The soreness is not an indication of muscle growth.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) happens in poorly trained muscles. Well trained muscle have very little DOMS if any. Eventually, if you continue to train and train properly, you muscles will adapt to the regimen and no longer experience DOMS. However, they will still grow.

Also, you require a lot more than just protein for muscle growth so don't focus on protein. Protein is just one of a constellation of nutrients required for anabolism in muscles and all other tissues. So, focus on eating a proper diet and avoid supplements.

DOMS is not due to the production of lactate and you don't need protein supplements to grow. In fact, they are to be avoided according to the entire health care establishment of the US Government, the best minds in nutrition in the world.

• Yes. Despite what you might hear from the people marketing supplements, if you eat beef, chicken, eggs, or pork, you're getting enough protein for your level of workout.
• Isn't the soreness lactose being released ? Maybe research this from a medical study but most trainers and nutritionists are full of cr@p
