Whey products.

Most noobs to working out believe that pros take mass gainers so they take them. I took care of a guy in his 20's who was taking at least five mass gainer shakes a day. He was also taking protein and multiple other supplements. We explained that all the supplements he was taking weren't necessary and were actually detrimental to his health. He stated that he was going to take a liver cleanse for now on and that he needed to take the supplements that he was taking because he is going to become a professional bodybuilder.

I'm sure its a common mistake many people make. Adding to the problem is that many sales people in those nutrition stores aren't well educated in HEALTHY nutrition and are simply product-trained to push certain products. Sure, there will be a few exceptions on occasion, but of the retail sales people I've met, most talk about specific product features and know less about actual nutrition. Consequently, many consumers waste money on products they don't need and aren't beneficial.

No more protein powders for me. Liquid egg whites give me what I need.
