Protein drinks :: Plexus Lean vs 310 nutrition

Daisy_Girl2019

I am done arguing about this. All I can say is if you are able to consume protein from food source then you don't need protein shakes.
Now, if you're old with no teeth and can't chew meat anymore or you have cancer and have no appetite, I would difinitely understand consuming protein Ensure.
I just see people drinking protein shake like water, especially gym goers. If you are already eating meat, having protein shake is redundant. Excessive protein intake can lead to kidney failure (fyi, kidney failure is different from having kidney stones). If your trying to be healthy, I don't understand chancing on destroying your kidneys in the process. Now if you tell me "well that's only for excessive consuption of protein shakes." Well whats the deference between moderation or having it excesive. Is once a day too much, once a week or once a month- we don't know.
And for olympic atheletes, several athletes got banned from sports for failing their labs and they blame their supplement for it. So now, most olympians just don't take any supplements, they stay away especially with protein shake. Olympic athletes, depends on the sports, normally do carb loading more than anything. They are more concern of consumming carbs than protein.

Read Examine.com where they list the top 19 myths for 2019 -
Myth 1: Protein is bad for your bones and kidneys

Read it, read the scientific studies linked that directly contradict your views. https://examine.com/nutrition/awful-nutrition-myths/

You are horribly misinformed, whey is food. Just like milk is food.
No athletes don't stay away from protein supplementation, they are the biggest subset of the populations likely to need higher levels of protein. What athletes do is ensure they take uncontaminated supplements.

So I am on the fence about doing the Plexus Lean vs the 310 Nutrition. The Lean definitely tastes better. . Anyone know which is better for you. Which are healthier and which help with weight loss better.

They're just protein supplements...not sure what you mean by which is better for you, it's just protein. Protein supplements do nothing for weight loss...they just supplement your protein intake if you're not getting enough with other food sources.

If it's just like protein found in food we eat, then why protein shakes are not allowed in competitive sports like olympics. If you think about it they should need protein shakes more than anyone since they are doing vigorous training.

Protein shakes aren't banned for Olympic athletes. Please consider that you've been given some misinformation.
