Question 2

Jake is getting ready for spring training and is sitting down to a dinner of half a chicken, a rib-eye steak, black beans, and 5 slices of bacon. He has been eating typical dinners like this for about a month and has since gained 7 pounds, while exercising only briefly. When Jake asks why he doesn't see an increase in his biceps or abs, the proper response should be
 a. dietary protein alone does not contribute to muscle accretion.
  b. it takes at least 6 months to document changes in muscle accretion.
  c. the weight he has gained can be attributed to a substantial increase in his protein stores.
  d. because muscle accretion only responds to very lean meat choices, he should eliminate the fatty bacon and steak from his diet to promote muscle gain.
