Without Protein, No Muscles. Fat and carbs are turned into triglycerides and glucose, which your body burns for energy when you run, lift weights, cycle, or walk to work. But when it comes to building muscle, it's protein that you need most.

Your body needs a certain combination of 9 different amino acids in order to build muscle.
Consuming the protein RDA can help maintain your lean muscle mass. However, to build muscle and gain weight the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends you consume 1.4 to 1.8 grams per kilogram, or about 0.64 to 0.82 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day. This means a 150-pound person should consume 96 to 123 grams of protein each day to build muscle mass and gain weight.
