Protein powder is hardly necessary to hit that limit, but it's convenient and a nice to use instead of relying on eat tons of lean meat. As long as your protein powder is low in fat and carbs, which most are, your only concern should be if it tastes good.
Pretty much this. It is better to get your protein through your regular diet if possible. Try to choose protein sources low in fat when possible. Protein shakes are convenient and can be found with low carbs and fats.
I believe Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard is the best selling protein powder.
