Both fad diets and marketing campaigns have created more flabby arm confusion than ever before. Women are utterly lost when it comes to protein intake. Maybe you are lost.

I know I was confused when I first started.

After all, separating the wheat from the chaff can be virtually impossible for the average woman because of all the marketing hype. And not knowing how to manage your consumption of protein can put a serious dent in your arm fat goal.

Thus, here are 5 myths about arm fat and protein intake:

1. Powders and bars are superior to food. Whole food will always provide a superior supply of protein because protein from whole food sources will digest slower and will be accompanied by a whole range of additional nutrients.

2. Multiple whey protein shakes reduces arm fat. Nothing could be further from the truth! The only time you should have whey protein is right after your arm workout, that’s it. Whey protein digests way too quickly to warrant further consumption.

3. Rapid absorption of protein is better. Any time your body absorbs a nutrient rapidly there will be a pushback. In this case, having a fast digesting source of protein will leave your bloodstream with low levels of amino acids.

4. Bigger is better. We love big portions. And protein is no exception. If your protein intake exceeds 30% of your total caloric intake, however, the positives turn into negatives. So have small servings of protein in every meal and stay away from the meat buffets.

5. Hormonally treated protein has a negative effect. To date, there haven’t been any solid studies proving this. However, there are ethical reasons to NOT eat this type of protein. If possible, stick to grass fed sources of protein for more omega-3 fats.

Losing arm fat doesn’t have to give you a headache. And with the above information you are a couple steps closer to optimizing your protein intake. After all, knowing how to eat protein the right way is critical for sexy arm success.
