Protein Powder

[snowbird17]

Just joined yesterday so am trying to find my way around the site for answers to all my questions.
I do not see Protein Powder as a choice, why is that? Every morning for breakfast I have a scoop of Protein powder, a banana and 1 cup of Low Fat Almond milk.

Hi snowbird, I have heard that whey powder is way to much protein unless you are a weight lifter big time. Don’t know if this is true, what do you say?

Hi Rubytwoshoes, I think it is very healthy. My daily goal is 60 grams of protein, and the protein powder adds 15 grams. I make sure I don’t go over the 60 grams daily I am supposed to have. I don’t eat meat and find that adding a protein drink brings me up to the amount of protein I am supposed to have. Cheers!

Hi, Snowbird17. Protein power isn’t a choice, because we prefer to encourage whole foods. Even if you don’t eat meat, you are likely getting enough protein. If you want, I can run an analysis for you.

Thank you, I appreciate your answer, Ossie-Sharon.
I really enjoy my protein shakes, so would like to keep having them. I am very close to my daily allowance (according to what this sites says I am supposed to have) for total amount of protein every day.
I find this site confusing. From this page, I do not see the link to go to my menu page. Also, after you add several ingredients to make a meal, how do you add it to a daily meal? Thanks for your help!

Btw, I am a Sharon also. 🙂

Oh, and thank you for offering to run an analysis for me, that would be great. What information do you need?
