Subject:	Can I build muscle with 5% protein?
Date:	June 28, 2012 at 2:30 pm PST

I am wondering if it's possible to build muscle (real bulk,
solid muscle) with 5% total protein. My diet is mainly
composed of dates, cucumbers and lettuce smoothies with some
flaxseed. I have on average 5% protein eating 2400 cals a day.
So, I get 35g of protein a day. I train for 6 months but my
muscle gains are minimal.
I am training bodyweight calisthenics 5 times a week, 1h a
day.
Should I increase my protein content for bodybuilding?
Or do I need more calories- I weight 66kg, with about 13%
bodyfat.
