How does the protein that you eat wind up building your muscles?

 It makes up your skin, muscle , and bones. The protein spreads around your body through blood cells. Decomposition is when your body breaks apart the protein particles. Synthesis  is when the protein particles

spread apart around the body and go to where the body needs the muscle.
