Protein powder, especially the kind made from milk and eggs can be a convenient way to add protein to a diet when you can’t sit down and grab a meal, but it’s not quite the same as eating eggs or meat.
There are lots of substances that contribute to good health that are found naturally in
foods. That’s why most experts advocate getting your protein from a wide variety of fresh, wholesome foods.
Protein powder can be a good source of protein as long as it’s not your only source. Finally, most experts say that 30 grams of protein is the maximum amount you should eat at one sitting. Most of us get too much protein anyway, and that’s hard on our kidneys. Too much protein also adds
extra calories, and too many calories will end up as fat.
“To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise
we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep
our mind strong and clear. Water surrounds the lotus
flower, but does not wet its petals.”Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder
of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)
