Hi guys. I am 20 and my sister is 17. We bought protein powder to increase our protein intake. We want to use it everyday. It's the whey protein powder from body fortress. It has 26 grams of protein. Would it be okay for us to use it everyday?

    the key is to stay within your calories and macros. i had a protein deficiency in my diet, so i started using whey protein in my smoothies. however, i don't do it every day anymore -- just after a really big workout or when i know my daily intake can handle it. i'm on a deficit right now though to lose another 10 pounds.

    I have recently started using it almost everyday as well. In my breakfast smoothies specifically. Helps me get to my 128g of protein that I need...

    I also recently bought protein bars...20g in each.

    I do this mainly as I am starting a heavy lifting program...and I need the extra.

    But as said before if you stay within your calories why not...

    You will just pee out the extra. However, unless you're vegetarian, you're probably getting more than enough protein with your current diet.
