@lucashemingway1196 Although I think you could use a moderate amount of additional protein I suspect your chronic tiredness is more of an impediment to muscle growth than not getting enough protein is. If you're not well rested and feeling fresh before you start your resistance training, you're...

@lucashemingway1196 How many calories per day is that, roughly? Asking because if you're tired consistently, you may be calorie deficient and not just protein deficient. People who are resistance training need a significant amount of protein above the recommended daily average of .7 grams per...
