Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago
i workout and go to gym and do my workout for sports and lean body building -workout such as squat ,deadlift etc on different days.My weight is 175 pounds.I take 175 gram protein daily in form of 6 egg white,300 gram chicken (Without skin),milk ,weigh protein. Can you provide a medical paper to provide that chicken does not produce pimples and other stuff.If that is the case then every other athlete ,model ,footballer etc should have that as they all eat to remain fit. Please provide response with logic on pradipb91@gmail.com

hello patient, you do not need to consume protein in this quantity to support yourself for the gym routine. As per your weight, provided you are working out regularly, 95 – 120 grams of proteins (1.2-1.5 grams/kg body weight) should be appropriate. Also timings and type of protein need to be matched with your workout timings.
Protein rich foods such as lean chicken produces heat (diet induced thermogenesis) which speeds metabolism, helps burn calories and preserve lean body mass. Consumption of chicken alone cannot lead to development of pimples. If you are prone to producing pimples, do not over work yourself, do not take steaming hot food, avoid alcohol, and avoid spicy and oily fried food. Do not overload yourself with eggs and chicken. Also limit your salt intake.
Have plenty of liquids and water in a day. Consume at least three liters of water per day. Sip water every half hourly. Dehydration could lead to unfavorable effects. Take lot of freshly cut fruits and salads. Wear cotton clothes and bathe 2-3 times a day. Practice good hygiene, including regularly washing skin areas with neutral cleansers.
