Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups (www.tandfonline.com)

There’s no reason to panic if you’ve been using any of the products we tested, or if you take protein supplements generally. Many of these powders are fine to have occasionally...

I found this quote hilarious, I don't know anyone who takes protein powder occasionally. They are either taking it mosts days out of the week or not at all in my experience.

I am one of that group. I only take it if I went to the gym and have a surplus in my daily calories. Doesn't happen more frequently than once per week. Overdoing protein supplements can mess up your body, too.
