There is a limit to how much protein your body can actually use, based on recovery times etc even if you are lifting tonnes of iron.
Plus youd be surprised how much protein can be gained from everday plant based staples. Broccoli & rice etc it all adds up.
Great concentrated sources of protein are nuts/peanut butter & dairy.
These are great as they also give you a lot of healthy fat. The amount of calories you need for muscle gains is faaaar more difficult than getting enough protein for which you dont even have to try.
Just eat a lot of good food and youll be fine. Increase number of meals to about 5 a day. Use either olive or nut oil liberally.
You do not need supplements. They are useful if you have severely limited time and availability of good food. But for 99% people, nope.
Pm me if you want more info.
