So 2 very obvious questions arise.
1. "Not the one used in my whey protein powder"
So what was the *exact name of the sweetner* since you obviously want to help and warn your bros here?
2. Where is the study or link, so that those of us who know a bit about studies, ran them, read them in college, can analyze what you read and give our very own take on it?

I get the convenience aspect of powders sure, but what numbers are people here trying to hit they they're actually struggling to hit protein requirements?
My diet is off track at the minute but up until approx 4 weeks ago I was only eating 2 meals per day and still cleared 200g protein with no need for supplements.
Struggling to understand the need to supplement outside of convenience, especially for a person not restricting their diet.

I've tracked macro's for a long time and most 'high' protein meals are around 30-35G of protein. If you go to a steak-house or mainly eat steaks you can get closer to 50G of protein per meal. Its genuinely hard to stomach 100G of protein at one serving. Especially if you are eating other stuff on the side as well. You're literally talking about a meal that weighs 1-1.5lbs minimum sitting in your stomach.
I weigh 196lbs and try to get in 200G of protein per day. If you are eating reasonably clean (Meat, Fish, Veg, Fruit, and only clean/simple carbs). Its genuinely a lot of food.
If you're eating processed foods, junk foods, or restaurant meals you're talking high carb/fat/calorie and medium to low protein in 95% of meals.

Also I don't know what kind of chickens you're eating if you need 500 grams to get 100g of protein lol. A single 100 gram breast is 30g on average.
lunch;
250g chicken breast = approx 75-80g.
250g halloumi = approx 20-25g
pint of milk = approx 15g
dinner;
400g ribeye or sirloin = approx 90-100g
veg = whatever
pint of milk = approx 15g

PE Science has amazing flavors at great macros.
I’ll buy 3 tubs at a time of different flavors. Use that to crush my sweet tooth because they are so good. Also made protein ice cream out of it. I don’t use basic flavors though, I probably wouldn’t use powder if they only had basic flavors.
Hard to beat 25p for 110-130 cals. I’d snag a Built bar if they were easier to find in stores other than the 3 flavors sheetz has
I’d eat actual food instead, but I go to the gym at 4, so something small and high protein that is super convenient is ideal. I’d rather eat another chicken breast but no chance I’m cooking even if it’s just air fryer as I get ready at 330 a

Whey powder is the most overrated shyt I've ever taken tbh, but that's just my personal experience. I ditched it a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. That said, everyone is different so you need to take your personal situation and goals into consideration.
The hard part is actually getting in the calories without stuffing your face with lots of junk food.
