Protein is the first nutrient needed for building muscle. But body needs carbohydrates i.e. for supplying required energy to each and every cell of the body to function, that is your heart to beat, your brain to send messages, your organs to release hormones for their particular function. Hence we can say that carbohydrates help protein in building muscle and maintaining it. In absence of carbohydrates, body uses the energy from proteins which may lead to loss of protein and muscle
