Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is a clickbait hook. 🎣 Taken literally, this means eating zero protein builds maximum muscle, which defies human biology. Protein provides the essential amino acids (the 'bricks') needed for muscle protein synthesis. If you eat a protein-deficient diet, your muscle growth will stop entirely. You don't need excessive protein, but reducing it below adequate levels will never build 'more' muscle.
