The protein intake is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, 56 grams per day for the average sedentary man. 46 grams per day for the average sedentary woman, as you can opt fro options like soya milk / tofu / lentils There’s nothing inherently risky about whey protein by itself, but following a diet that’s very high in protein for an extended period of time entails risks, especially if you’re not trying to build muscle.

This is not true. But proteins are effective only if taken after strengthening exercises. Otherwise of no use. You need to take whey protein (by whatever name it comes. But it should contain 80% whey protein in it. E.g. For 30 gms it should have atleast 24 grams (80%) of protein.) use it only on the day you gym (within 10 mins of exercise). Dose is 30gms.
