Re: Protein powder
Someone who doesn't exercise needs 0.4 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day (so if you weigh 200lbs, you'd need 80g of protein a day). People who exercise moderately (cardio, aerobics, light weights, yoga, etc.) need about 0.6g of protein per pound of body weight per day - this sounds like you. For those who lift weights and train more intensely, 0.8g of protein per lb of body weight is needed.
So just figure out how much protein you're consuming through food on a daily basis and that will be a good indicator of whether or not the supplementing is needed. Note that this should be based on your "healthy weight", more or less. So someone who weighs 600lbs wouldn't be consuming 360g of protein a day, for example.
Finally if you are going to take protein, take it after working out and do some research or go to a supplement store and speak to knowledgeable staff to pick the right product. A lot of protein powders are loaded with junk ingredients.
