Protein Powder
Hi,
Can anybody tell me how much protein the average person needs? I think I read somewhere that it was 1 gram per pound of bodyweight, but that seems like a lot. I don't want to pack on a bunch of muscle, but I do exercise and want to keep my lean muscle. I'm not a big meat eater, but I do eat meat. Do I even need to take extra protein?
Also, I have tried a few different brands of protein powder in the past and they were all pretty bad tasting. I know everyone's tastes are different, but if you have one you can honestly say tastes great I'd love to know what it is. I love chocolate, but have yet to find one that even comes close to actually tasting like chocolate.
Oh, and one more question, do you have to put protein powder in a shake or can you put it in other foods, and if you do this, what do you put it in??
Thanks!!
