Common protein mistakes in the gym

Skipping Post-Workout Protein No protein = slower recovery, slower gains.

Overloading Protein More isn’t better. Excess won’t build muscle faster.

Ignoring Protein Quality Incomplete proteins = incomplete results.

Relying Only on Supplements Supplements help. Whole foods do more.

Wrong Timing Protein works best when spread across the day.

Neglecting Hydration Low water = poor protein use and recovery.

No Strength Training Protein feeds muscle—training builds it.
