This Week’s Shoutout:

A member of the Performance Nutrition Network recently sparked a discussion about the best ways to store protein powder in a shared canteen without it going missing or seeping out of dispensers.

Key Insights:

• Lockable storage is preferred by many to maintain control over usage.

• Most recommend leaving out protein powder only at breakfast or post-gym, then securing it afterward.

• Pre-preparing portions can encourage consistent use while reducing waste.
