Is Protein Powder Good for Weight Loss?
Protein Powder can fit into a weight loss diet when portions are controlled. At 400 calories per 100g, it is calorie-dense, so measuring portions helps keep intake in check. Protein Powder is high in protein (80g per 100g), which supports satiety and helps preserve muscle during a deficit. For best results, combine protein powder with plenty of vegetables and a sustainable calorie target from a calorie calculator or calorie deficit calculator.
