A healthy adult's daily intake of protein should be 65g to 70g. If a person ingests 2 ounces of beef, 2 ounces of chicken breast, 4 egg whites and 2 bags (250ml each) of skim milk every day, protein's intake can meet the needs of normal adults, and there is absolutely no need to supplement protein powder.

However, for people who want to lose weight, the above food combination does not meet the requirements. The intake of carbohydrate and fat should be strictly controlled, but the intake of protein should be appropriately increased.

Introduce the harm of excessive consumption of protein powder.

Long-term excessive consumption of protein powder or excessive intake of protein in natural foods will indeed cause physical discomfort. When a large amount of protein enters the gastrointestinal tract, gastric acid reflux, intestinal flora disorder and protein decay will produce metabolic wastes. After a certain period of accumulation, the function of digestive tract will be seriously damaged.

In addition, protein's metabolites and corrupt wastes will be transported to the kidneys through blood, and then excreted by the kidneys. Then too many metabolites and corrupt wastes will inevitably increase the burden on the kidney, gradually destroy the glomerular function, and eventually lead to abnormal renal function and even renal failure.
