Description

I’m going to discuss:

• Is protein powder overrated, underrated, or appropriately rated?
• The characteristics of the most common animal- and plant-based types of protein powder
• The importance of taste, protein quality, leucine content, and digestibility when choosing the right product for your needs and preferences

Listen until the end for the titular fitness rant…
