    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    On One Hand: Protein Calories are Necessary

    The protein powder market is saturated with products directed towards men. Extra protein and minerals provide strength and mental focus while boosting the immune system. Powders usually contain whey and casein proteins (found in milk). These powders are designed for "bulk," and they have many carbohydrates per serving.

    On the Other: Examine the Label

    Women typically require less calories than men, and they may not desire bulk or milk. Personal dietary restrictions (vegetarian diet or allergies) may pose problems with whey, egg or casein protein powders. Non-genetically modified soy protein is an option, as are powders with beneficial organic ingredients. Aria Protein for Women is a viable option at $15 for a 12 oz. container.

    Bottom Line

    Different powders have different nutritional profiles. If lean muscle is desired without accompanying bulk, watch the carbohydrate and sodium levels. The grams of protein per serving should also be moderated. Eat real, healthy food, too, for optimal results, such as protein-rich soy foods.
