I am in high school and everybody takes protein powder.. I am not allowed to take protein powder.. so i was doing some searching on how i can get 1 gram per pound of body weight.. I found several sites with how much ounces or grams of protein you get from any kind of food with a good source of protein
so, instead of taking protein powder, can i just get protein from the foods i eat.. i am 135lbs age 16.. I'm going for 130 - 145 grams of protein everyday from just foods..
would this be doing the same thing as protein powder?
I was also told there are metals in protein powder that are stuck in your body forever.. the metals come from all the processing of the powder itself.. is this true?
