spend time reading our nutritional stickies.
protein powder isn't magic...its just protein...just like eggs, or cottage cheese, or a steak.
you don't NEED protein powder, but it can be helpful in getting the right amount of protein in your daily diet.
once you do the math to find your protein intake, you'll know whether you need shakes or not.
if you do, try not ot have more than 2 per day. whole food is always better, and too many shakes will give you the squirts.
