My daily protein intake is about 230-250g and about 50% of that is from protein powders. Lately it's been Syntha 6 Edge and Rule 1 WPI for post wo. This works for me due to my type of work and lifestyle. Just wondering how much difference there is between the effectiveness of whole foods and powdered sources? Just don't want all my hard work in the gym going to waste.

I've always been told if you can eat your protein it's better for you because the nutrients that you get with the food that you don't get in protein.
