Ok I’m 155 lbs. and athletic. I was told that my daily intake of protein should be around 52 grams. So my question is when your building muscle, do you need to consume more whey protein than your daily recommended dose for maximum results? Or is taking the daily recommended dose which is more protein than I normally consume sufficient for maximum results?

the amount of protein you are consuming atm is VERY less. If u want to build muscle you need around 1 gram or protein per pound of your body weight. So your weight being 155 lbs u need around 155 grams of protein a day.
“Protein is the building block of muscle”
you don’t need extra protein, don’t believe that, don’t even need supplements, of course, supplement companies will tell you different. Mike Mentzer was one of the best built bodybuilders, even bigger than Arnold, he was 5’8″, 225 lbs. Arnold was 230 at 6’2′, that would make Mike bigger. Mike didn’t use supplements, you know what he had after his workout, a cigarette on the parking lot of the gym. You just need to work you a** off, no supplements needed. A little extra will not hurt you, but not needed, if you want just drink a shake before and after training, or just one after training.

I hope u like my answer
52 grams is not nearly enough protein for your bodyweight, whether you’re lifting weights or not. You do need even more protein when your activity level goes up, especially if you’re trying to build muscle.
Most of your proteins should come from whole food sources (chicken, fish, lean beef, eggs, etc. ). Fractionized proteins like whey are great for pre and post workout supplementation but should not take the place of normal meals. Whey is a fast uptake protein that hits the blood stream very quickly, but is not long lasting so it’s not really appropriate other times of the day. For the most part, getting about 1-1. 5 grams per pound of lean bodyweight is what you need.
Proteins should consist of about 40% of your daily caloric intake, another 40% being mostly complex carbs and the other 20% being good fats, spread out over 5-6+ meals per day. All the macronutrients should be included for optimum results or you’ll see minimal gains. Additionally, your diet should be an a caloric excess if mass gains is your goal.
Basically you need at least 80g of protein per day; more if you are training intensively (some is needed just to replace the myosin fibres broken doiwen by the training. ).
You need a good all-round diet rich in protein (meat, fish, eggs, cheese, chicken, nuts, pulses, etc), carbohydrate (pasta, potatoes, rice, etc) vitamins + minerals (green veg, fruit, nuts, liver, tomatoes, beetroot, etc. ) and just a little unsaturated fat (plant source eg sunflower oil in cooking, margarine, etc. ), + plenty of fluid.
Muscle is made mainly of the proteins myosin, actin and tropomyosin. Bone has a calcium phosphate backbone with collagen (a protein filler). So you need plenty of milk and cheese to provide calcium and Vitamin D (cholecalciferol).
This regime will make you put on a lot of muscle, but a little fat, too, because of the calories. Not to worry. You are young. Once you bulk up, you can easily get rid of the fat to gain definition
