Late entry to the discussion. A couple of additional points. Forgive
if they've already been discussed.
1) Adult humans need about 100g of protein a day. Anything in excess
of that is simply converted to sugar via a process called
gluconeogenesis.
2) I know of no paleo protein powders. Even the egg white ones are
heavy on soy.
