> We apparently get enough protein due daily consumption and the avg sporty person doesn't need protein powder.

I don't know what that means. The amount of protein people get varies dramatically. Chicken is a remarkably efficient way to get protein. Greek yogurt is also pretty good.

If you haven't measured your protein intake (with an app like myfitnesspal) you should try it.

I always thought I was a pretty knowledgable person when it came to nutrition and my eating habits competely changed when I bothered to look up the calorie and macro count of everything I ate. I also dropped 40 pounds and put on a lot of muscle.
