The daily number of scoops should be decided by your protein target—not by a fixed scoop rule. First define your daily protein goal, estimate how much you get from food, and use powder only to cover the remaining gap. Many products provide roughly 20–30 g of protein per scoop, but the label is the real source of truth. For many people, 1 scoop daily is enough; in heavy training phases, 2 scoops may be used. Beyond that, you often add unnecessary calories and digestive load without extra benefit. Spreading protein across the day is usually better tolerated than taking a very large dose at once. If you have lactose sensitivity, IBS, or frequent bloating, smaller portions or different protein types can be smarter. If you have kidney disease or other medical conditions, scoop decisions should follow clinical guidance. Simple rule: fill the gap, don’t overshoot.
