We need protein for many different reasons, not just to build muscle. Getting enough of this nutrient is essential to our health and wellbeing. According to the Harvard Medical School, the recommended daily amount of protein is 0.8g per kilogram of body weight. It may not always be possible or practical to hit these requirements, particularly if you are an active individual. According to the research published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, those who train more will also require significantly more protein for muscular adaptations (approximately 1.4g to 2g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight).
That's why powders are the best way forward. Why? Well, the best protein powders provide up to 30g of protein in a single serving, so it will do you a world of good when you're trying to build muscle.
