But, how do you tell the difference between them and decide which one is right for you? Dhvani Shah, a nutritionist, breaks down the points of difference between whey protein and plant-based protein.

Perhaps, this time I was looking for something to take my mind off of the countless rushing thoughts in my head - work deadlines, uncomfortable conversations to be had, where to find the best tiramisu in town - it goes on.
