The protein supplements are to be taken only after calculating your present intake and needs. Just because you work out does not mean you have to take a supplement. Also the type of protein you take totally depends on the type of workout and reasons for working out too. Also proteins are not stored by your body and if taken in excess of your needs they can cause side effects. Even if you were to take protein supplements they will not work in isolation. You have to have nutrient dense meal.
