How to Choose a Protein Powder
Protein per scoop, ingredients you actually need, digestion comfort, and when powder even makes sense.
Food first. Powder is a convenience tool for hitting protein when appetite, schedule, or travel get in the way.
Check: protein per serving (often 20–25g+), short ingredient lists, sweetener tolerance, and third-party testing when possible.
Red flags: proprietary blends that hide doses, miracle fat-loss claims, and 'hormone' drama marketing.
Whey isolate suits many lactose-sensitive folks; plant blends work if you match amino profile and total protein. Taste is adherence—pick what you'll use.
