Protein from natural foods is recommended. If you are a vegetarian, you will need proper planning of the diet for that. Please do not overdo the workout as it will be affecting your thyroid gland. Do workouts for 40mins max.

For your gym workouts and hypothyroidism, it's best to prioritize getting protein from natural food sources like lean meats, fish, legumes, and dairy. Protein powder can be used as a supplement if needed, but consult your healthcare provider to ensure it aligns with your health condition and overall dietary needs.
