I was thinking of buying bulk protein from Shop health.

Hello Ma'am,
It is best not to take these while breastfeeding, as there have already been reported cases of isolate protein contamination with anabolic products (not necessarily in the Shop Santé brand).
What is the reason for wanting to take these products? Perhaps there is an alternative...

I can't seem to eat enough protein in my day. Yet I eat meat at every meal..but not enough I guess! I wanted to supplement with this..but if it's not recommended, I'll wait until after breastfeeding!

Thank you for the information.
If you eat meat at every meal (which is far more than the Health Canada recommendation), why do you say you are not getting enough protein? Have you had blood tests that indicate this information?

No blood work, but I calculated via the myfitnesspal app to get an overview and I'm still down 30% per day.

Thanks for the information.
You should know that protein is found in almost everything you eat, not just meat.
If you eat 3 meals a day, in which there is at least 1 meal with meat, in my opinion adding protein in the form of supplements is not necessary.
Good evening :)
