Can Protein Powder make you gain weight?
Yes it can! Protein powder on its own does not make you gain weight, but if you’re drinking an excessive amount of high calorie protein shakes and not watching your overall calorie intake you’re going to gain weight. Weight gain is made fat is stored from excess calories. If you take excess protein powder which boosts your calorie intake in excess of your requirements then calories can be stored as fat.
