Best protein powders for muscle gain?
in Hobbies & Leisure ·
It's highly unlikely you'll gain fat from protein alone. Any excess just gets flushed out through your pee.
I toss some protein powder into my routine every single day—mostly to pack on muscle and keep my immune system dialed in.
The real headache is actually picking a brand. Nobody’s really policing these supplements, so you're basically just stuck relying on whatever people recommend.
Take Optimum Nutrition, for example. You've got top-tier quality and backing from major US athletic organizations behind them, and honestly, I'm stoked with their stuff. Plus, the flavors don't suck.
