This is a long and very thorough article. If you're using any particular brand of protein supplements, it might be worth searching the text for the name to catch all the relevant discussion (the measurements, whether the company is responding, etc.)

So glad that when I decided to get back into lifting a year or 2 ago, I decided to say fuck protein powder and have just been eating a high protein meal or some eggs / egg whites after my workouts. I've grown jaded by the supplement industry so I didn't want to support them. Also protein has gotten fucking expensive since the last time I was lifting (like 8+ years ago)
