Is protein powder just a meme? I have no problem shovelling down

whey is a supplement.

IT SUPPLEMENTS.

it mens you use it on top of your regular food intake so you can match your protein needs. if you're already getting your gram per kilo, you don't need whey.

most people need to overeat to reach their protein needs (like me - I get to 120g I have already eaten more food than I want to eat the entire day, so every day I take 58g of protein from whey).

two grams per kilo, I mean.

Not a meme at all, in a perfect world of bro's and bro-ettes, protein powder would be used by everyone, hardcore athlete or no.

It's quite cheap regarding the amount of protons (8 to 12 €/kg @ 70-80% Protons)

So did my sister. Found some "weight-loss" protein shake powder in her kitchen when I invited her these days. Shit contains like 45% protons and 35% sugar.

I use it for convenience. It's also nice for trying to hit your protein macros. At the end of the day you're a bit under just have a scoop.

You can get enough from your food but for hardgainers like me it just makes it easier to make sure I'm getting what i need.
I eat breakfast, mass gainer for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

Yes, he has 1 in 100 billion genetics though, we're lucky enough that we managed to see him as he only appears once every 5-8 lifetimes.

Real food is really fucking expensive comparatively. Some people don't have megabucks to fuck around with.

Real food costs more and takes time to prepare. Supplementing with a few scoops per day makes hitting high protein levels easy and cheap. I basically eat what I used to before lifting, and just have a few scoops per day.

it just makes it easier to hit your protein macro, it's not necessary or anything

you don't need whey powder. I haven't had it in months and I would have got to where I'm at right now without using it. It just tastes good depending on the brand you get and it's also helpful for satiety. It's definitely not a bullshit supplement but it isn't necessary.
