I am a vegan trying to lose a few lbs, should i but protein powder to help? if so what kind?

Look at label: Most of vegans need protein supplements along with vitamins & minerals especially calcium , iron etc. If you are a vegan protein power will have animal products casein (milk ) and egg as base besides soya ( plant ) protein. Look at the label and decide if it is good for you.
