Jordan,

How many total grams of protein do you eat a day? How many of those are protein powder?

An 11lb bag of Myprotein cost me 70 bucks last time i bought it in October 2021. I just went to buy again and now that same bag is 220 dollars.

My question is, would there be a disadvantage if I were to stop buying it and try to get that extra 50g (2 scoops worth) from food? I would probably be replacing it with more milk, cottage cheese, and or eggs. Would this be a bad idea just from a fat increase standpoint?

Thanks

Usually between 200-220g/day and I don’t usually have any whey protein, which is mostly out of preference.

If the replacement of your whey shake with food increases energy intake significantly and you don’t want to gain weight, that would be less than ideal.
