Ill have to look at my protine to see the ingredient list. I never really paid attention.
I've always had decent muscle mass for a female. It's just "toning" aka fat maintenance that I need to work more on.
I have sprees that I do great!! But after I hurt my knee I fell off the wagon lol then once I started PT I was doing good but the pain wouldn't stop. Trying to get back in again and hope I can build up the quad to stop the pain.

Not sure if you've seen this thread but it may prove useful. There are many tips on fat loss and nutrition as well as many great recipes that will make things easier, there are some of the C5 women who are regulars there and were in the same situation as you and have had great success. They are very supportive of each other and that motivates you to stay on track. I often post there as well as a few other very knowledgeable people who can help with almost anything you would need to know. The same info is known here but that thread has been ongoing for several years and has accumulated much info.
Supplements are less regulated than foods but they are required to use the same guidelines in writing food labels so the same basics can be followed. The ingredients first on the list have the most quantities. Proprietary blends means it's a blend of the manufacturers own ingredients, 96% of the time it's useless fillers and trace amounts of useful ingredients but the doses are minimal just to claim they are there for marketing purposes. Generally speaking, the less ingredients listed the better, if you buy whey protein, you don't want the added junk. Just like peanut butter, the main and only ingredient should be peanuts, anything else is added and it almost always is in part sugar and or salts. That's why eating whole foods makes it much easier and more healthy. The thing that really sucks is they're starting to mess with that too. lol
