protean supplements Topic

I am trying to stick to basic unprocessed or minimally processed foods, but I am always ending up under the target for proteins. Would adding some kind of protean supplement help and if so what kind is best. I have seen posts about things like whey powder or peanut powder, but I have no idea what these are or if there are other protean supplements that might be better.

Hi there Leahoconnor-
Strong work paying attention to your macros! Eating balanced meals and snacks helps with satiety and blood sugar balance among other things.

It is possible to meet protein targets without powders or supplements, though some people appreciate the convenience of the powders. This article lists the protein content of different foods, which you may find offers new protein-rich foods to consider: https://www.mynetdiary.com/benefits-of-eating-protein.html

If you would like to try a powdered supplement this article can help: https://www.mynetdiary.com/protein-powder-pros-and-cons.html
Have a great day! Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)
