I m 15 years old and have been on a weight training program since I was 13. Thanks, Booofie74 Protein and amino acids supplements are fine but can be expensive. There s also a misconception that just because the extra protein is available that the body will turn it into muscle.
Most people don t realize that they already get too much protein on a daily basis.
Don t forget, our bodies can only use so much protein and the rest is either excreted or stored as body fat. Your total daily calorie intake is the key. Your body needs enough calories to meet its regular daily needs and a little more to build muscle. I'm an active and fit teenager.
