Please run any extra protein powders past your dietician. What a lot of people don't realize, that for your kidneys to "process" all that extra protein, you have to add a LOT of extra water into your diet. If you become dehydrated with that protein added, you run a real risk of renal damage.
I know the protein is important, just be careful with the hydration also.
