Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I would suggest you the following proportion to keep in mind while selecting a protein powder:
- Low fat (1 to 5 grams is good).
- Low carbohydrate (1 to 5 grams is good).
- High protein (normally about 20 to 30 grams per serving).
- Go for concentrate powders - that is absorbed at a moderate pace.
Typically, it is good to include this in between the meals. Wishing you good health.
