This my first visit to this group so forgive me if my question is often asked. I have been doing weight training on and off for about 10 years ( I am now 32) but have never really taken it seriously enough to get technical with my diet. I am aware that increased quantities of protein are required to repair muscle after training but how do you know how much protein is required? I currently have a balanced diet (I think) and always maintain a steady weight. Is there any way I can test to see if my body is getting enough protein to facilitate muscle growth?
