Foods like eggs, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt also come with extra nutrients like calcium, vitamins, healthy fats and minerals that powders don’t always provide. Whole food protein also tends to be more satiating, meaning you stay fuller for longer and manage cravings better. Protein powder should supplement your diet… not completely replace real food Using oat flour boosts fibre and fullness, while removing the butter drops calories hard without ruining the texture Much better option for fat loss 👀 - @torinredpath_
