Myth:

If extra protein is ingested, more muscles will be developed.

Truth:

Yes, extra protein is good for muscle development. When a person does weight training, the muscles need more protein to build themselves up. But, the ingestion of the protein by itself does nothing. And if excess protein is ingested, it will be deposited as fat. The more protein you eat, the more you will have to work out to make use of it. Otherwise, you will become more obese instead of stronger.
