The 5 Best Protein Powders For Weight Loss
Reading time - 7 mins
Everyone knows that protein is essential when it comes to building muscle, but did you know that it is equally, if not more important for weight loss?
When it comes to losing weight, you will need to be in a caloric deficit but making sure you are consuming enough protein can also go a long way. Consuming 1.6g to 2.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight can help keep you fuller for longer, control cravings, and help maintain muscle mass as both fat and muscle can be lost when dieting.
Protein powder is a fantastic way to boost your protein consumption so you can keep those gains you worked tirelessly in the gym for! There’s nothing worse than seeing that juicy peach deflate into a flat pancake...
As long as the protein powder fits into your daily calorie allowance, it will be fine to use! Stay clear of “mass gainers” (they contain a lot of calories) and look out for powders that include metabolism-enhancing ingredients for extra fat burning support.
To help you decide which protein powder is best for you, I have listed some of the best calorie-friendly proteins below.
