protein powders: help or hidden sabotage?

I'm genuinely confused about protein supplements. They're supposedly essential for muscle building if you can't get enough from food... but they might actually sabotage weight loss? How are so many people drinking these daily without realizing they might be adding unnecessary calories? Anyone else puzzled by how easily these extra protein calories can put you in a surplus when the whole point was getting stronger while losing weight? #ProteinPower #FitnessJourney #BalanceIsKey
