I write my words here. Listen, if you think you can gain muscle by spending money recklessly, spend it. One serving of protein powder contains 30g of protein, which only provides you with 150~200kcal of heat. How much meat can you gain by eating only this every day? Let's not say that meat is all muscle.
Many amateur fitness enthusiasts, including you, don't know why they eat protein powder. In fact, protein provided by protein powder can also be obtained from 100g steak, and beef is rich in amino acids and creatine. The fat contained is also suitable for long meat, but the carbohydrate is slightly insufficient, which can be supplemented by eating staple food. If you are really rich, you should eat natural food. Protein powder is eaten by the poor. Look at the Olympic champion. During training, they will supplement their physical fitness with drinks such as protein powder. After the training, they all eat beef or Japanese food (seafood). Who will eat protein powder? I don't think it's time for amateurs to supplement protein in training.
Advice that is most needed is least valued. I hope you understand the principle of long meat (not long muscle) before considering whether to choose protein powder. Although you didn't spend my money, because I read your post, my professional ethics requires me to make suggestions and corrections to you, whether I listen or not.
