A member asked:

How much protein powder can i use in a day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Protein requirement: Your daily protein requirement in grams is your weight in kilograms. For example, 50 gm (grams) if you weigh 50 kilos. Spend your money more wisely by buying natural or organic foods rich in protein rather than protein powder which is more expensive.
