I just prefer getting my food from ... well...  food.  Protein powder  
strikes me as more of a food substitute.

Getting enough protein shouldn't be a big deal if you're eating plenty of  
meat.  I was right at 200 grams of protein yesterday, and it all came from  
food (eggs for breakfast, turkey for lunch, and bison for dinner -- all  
along with various fruits, veggies, and nuts).

That number will vary -- a small woman will need less than a large man.
