If your bound and determined to use protein be sure you get more calcium too.
Protein in any form is only as valuable as what you cause your body to do with it. Read the recommendations. Protein in powder form is okay depending on the brand. Some that are out there are very good, some are junk. Feeding protein to your body is critical when you are working out. But, your workouts need to be of a sufficient intensity to get the protein into the muscle tissues. Otherwise, you are going to wind up flushing most of it, if you know what I mean.
Natural protein that contain high amino acids; egg whites, bison, chicken, fish
Branching off of what Rod said I would definitely use a high quality and effective protein powder. I have been using the vanilla flavored whey protein powder that beachbody makes http://www.beachbody.com/product/supplem... .
Not only is it highly effective, the taste is amazing. I add it to fruit smoothies for an extra boost. Again read the recommendations and make sure it is something that will be the most effective for your body.
I agree with az desert rat. Get a high quality powder form of protein that is sufficient for the results you want. Also remember to get plenty of fluids and fiber while adding more protein to your diet. Added protein can constipate you and make your stools very hard and uncomfortable. Protein is completely safe to use if the quality is high and its used as directed.
It ruins both your kidneys and your liver, stick to training without supplements and just eating a lot of protein in your diet.
It's fine
