Yes, you can consume whey protein daily after your workout, along with a balanced diet.
Below are some benefits of whey protein powder:
Ideally 1 serving is around 25-30g but for beginners you start by consuming 1/2 scoop. You need to adjust it based on your daily protein needs, body weight and activity level.
It supports muscle recovery, prevents muscle loss, and help in managing weight when combined with exercise.
Overconsumption of the supplement may cause digestive issues like bloating, gas, or mild diarrhea. People having kidney issues should consult a physician first before consuming the supplement.
Whey is not a replacement to your meals. Include protein rich foods like lentils, paneer, eggs, fish and lean chicken in your daily diet to fulfill your protein requirements.

Hi
Whey protein is not a bad choice, but what must be kept in mind is
What is your level of activity,
How many days do u do your workout.
What else are your sources of protein.
If you are non veg or veg many carbs f these factors have to be weighed down before you decide to use the whey protein everyday
Choose wisely.
