Your Diet: If you have a diet filled with fat, carbs and calories, then taking protein supplements can add to your putting on weight. This is because supplements have other things added to them, not just protein. Ingredients: There are many protein powders in the market. Always check the ingredients of the pack. Some products contain vegetable fats and oils, fillers, sugars, etc. that can contribute to calorie increase. Milk vs. Water: If you have protein powder with milk then it can make you fat. This is because milk has a lot of fat. Whereas having it with water can help you develop lean muscle. There are other ways to have protein supplements too, like in desserts, etc. Type of Protein: Let us take the example of whey protein. If you have whey isolate then you are consuming more protein than if you have whey concentrate. So, 1 scoop of concentrate will have less protein than 1 scoop of isolate. Concentrate will have more carbohydrates and fats compared to isolate.
