How many days off

[panel32]

How many days off from protein before the body would become catabolic?

No idea. You'd have to have a very restricted diet not to eat any

It happens all the time. Your body actually moves between both anabolic and catabolic states every single day.

So the be more specific proteins are constantly being disassembled and reassembled in the musculature.

this is exactly right

if you were only anabolic all the time you would baloon to 1000 pounds straight

the whole protein thing is so overblown in the industry. people are convinced they gotta have protein all day and night or their muscles will dissapear. complete buffoonery

your body does not store amino acids. You need to consume all the essential amino acids on a daily basis or your body will catabolize muscle tissue to get the needed amino acids

It is actually really difficult to lose noticeable muscle just by not eating enough protein. You could not eat for days and probably look bigger just by the body fat you lost.
