                                According to nutritional science, applying heat to a protein does not destroy its fundamental nutritional value. This means that, in most cases, you can safely heat protein powders for use in cooking and baking without significant loss of your protein intake. The primary change you will see is a process called denaturation, which alters the protein's molecular structure but not its amino acid content.
