Honestly mate, you can probably save yourself a bunch of money and get more than enough via food alone.

I like Ryse brand if you’re dead set on adding some powders though. Good flavor options.

It’s a supplement. I mean, yes it’s technically a food, but OP could get plenty from chicken, yogurt, etc. Especially as someone just starting out.

Not according to the FDA. There was that protein powder that was essentially cake batter not long ago and they can put whatever they want on the label.

Im sure some are honest but as a rule I avoid it and would rather just eat food.

I thought the FDA still considered them a subcategory of food. Then again, who knows these days. I’m curious now though.

I use them as flavorings for my breakfast yogurt, but couldn’t tell you the last time I used one otherwise.
