I've been taking whey protein supplements for a few years now, but recently came across this one article listing 10 reasons why you shouldn't take protein supplements. Basically the author was saying that instead of supplementing wth protein supplements, we should supplement with whole foods for a variety of reasons. I thought it was interesting, so I did a little research and then I came across another article that was basically a rebuttal of this. Anyways, I was just wondering if there was any merit to either article. I always thought that one of the reasons we take protein supplements instead of eating just more normal food is because the additional protein required for lifters is not paralleled with additional requirements for fat/carbs?
