Hello...inrake of protein powder is absolutely safer. But didnt mention how many grams of proteins you arw consuming
As a suggestion, if your daily needs of proteins arw been fulfilled by correct diet, there is no need of protein supplements. You need to take good quality natural proteins and reduce down on your carbs and fats intake for weight loss.
Next Steps
I would definitely suggest you to consult a dietitian for HEALTY weight loss.
Health Tips
For proteins eat sufficient cows milk, home made curds, Buttermilk, low fat paneer, Tofu, Dals, Beans, sprouts, 2-3 almonds

Hello,
Whenever you are going through a weight loss program it is advisable that you do it under the supervision of a Dietician. Use of protein powders in excess can do a lot of harm than good. Which is why it is advisable to consult a Dietician who exactly knows how much proteins you will require to lose weight and build up muscle mass.
