Choose your Protein for Consumption

3 Steps to Choosing the Right Protein Powder (minus confusion). Most people choose a protein based on price or source. Your choice should match your current lifestyle goals, values, palate and gut comfort. For price, skip one "hotel" meal :).

Here are your key decision making pillars:

Step 1: Current Lifestyle & Goal Landscape

• Weight goal: Lose / Maintain / Gain

• Dominant activity: Cardio / Strength / Flexibility

Basis what you want to do and protein ratios can differ.

Step 2: Pick Your Source

• Whey or Non‑whey (rice/soy/pea etc.)

Choose what suits your palate, gut, and morality. No heroism.

Step 3: Carbs per Serving (the real deal‑breaker)

<5g carbs. Who: Primary gym‑goers (>6 hrs/wk), Cardio <1 hr.

Pros: Cheap(er), easily available.

Cons: Taste + gut need “relationship counselling”. Bloating/constipation common, start small then increase to 30gms. My drivers: ON, QNT, MuscleBlaze

5–10g carbs: Who: General health + mixed exercise (3–5 hrs/week). Great for 40+.

 Pros: Better taste, gut-friendly.

 Cons: Heavy lifters may want more protein/serving.

 My choice: Kilobeaters Whey (no flavouring agents)

>10g carbs. Who: Weight gainers & endurance athletes. (Stamina> 6 hrs/wk).

 Pros: Taste is elite, basically milkshakes with protein.

 Cons: High carb load; not ideal for diabetics or weight-loss seekers. My choice: Syntha‑6 (best PP I’ve ever had)

Closing Thought: Your protein powder relationship isn't "swan" like. As your goals shift, your protein can too, guilt‑free. Pick what serves your current season, not black friday sales.
