Isn’t it ozempic? I remember reading something that due to the ozempic wave people need to have higher protein diets or they will have negative side effects.

I have ADHD and I need to eat something with my meds but eating in the morning is TORTURE so I have a protein bar. There’s good uses for these products but they are not being used properly for sure.
TropicalVision@reddit
No it’s just marketing.
Fitness and working out in general has gotten massively more popular over the past 5-10 years so it’s just a response to that. Companies want to sell more stuff to people.
HappyCamper4027@reddit
But to be fair, it does help those of us who happen to be on an ozympic diet.
bulbousgrandpa@reddit
Eating more protein is the wrong priority for ozempic patients, resistance exercise is going to be a lot more important. The extra protein is useful but you can almost fully halt muscle loss if you exercise and eat just a little bit of extra protein
Photograph-Classic@reddit
If you are not getting enough protein during a major nutritional and calorie deficit, resistance training is useless. You are looking at higher risk of injury, less energy to get through a full set. Muscle repair is also dramatically hindered. It all depends on what is going into your body, your bodies composition, your hormone health... etc. To say someone just needs resistance training is ridiculous.
bulbousgrandpa@reddit
Resistance training in a caloric deficit is not at all useless, yes you are likely not going to build significant muscle mass relative to not being in a major deficit, but it nearly halts muscle loss by itself. I also never said you ONLY need resistance training, I said If you combine this simultaneously with high protein intake you can halt almost all muscle loss entirely as long as your major deficit isn't into the 1200-1500+ range. High protein with no resistance training is only going to marginally slow muscle loss once you get past minor deficits. Resistance training with average protein intake will be less effective than with high protein intake, but it will also work better by itself than high protein + no resistance training.
You are also massively overselling the risk of resistance training while in a deficit. Unless someone is trying to lift to their limit regularly and very often while in a deficit, then they are not likely to be injured. No shit you are less able to recover from workouts while in a calorie deficit, that doesn't mean recovery is going to be completely halted. People who do bodybuilding are on 1000 calorie deficits for months with no injuries from lifting weights all the time and they are training far harder than 90% of the population
Photograph-Classic@reddit
I never said resistance training in a calorie deficit is useless. What I did say was macros are very important while resistance training in a deficit.
Re-read what i wrote.
bulbousgrandpa@reddit
Yes, you said resistance training is useless if you are not getting enough protein. My point is that even with protein intake on the lower end of the scale, resistance training is definitely NOT useless. Obviously eating high protein is better, but I guarantee you that someone eating 1500 calories with 70g of protein that resistance trains will lose less mass than someone eating 1500 calories with 150g of protein while not resistance training.
oniiichanUwU@reddit
As someone who really struggles to get any extra protein in, it’s nice that I can get random stuff like bread, wraps and stuff that have added protein lol. People are just being haters. Just because it doesn’t appeal to everyone doesn’t mean it doesn’t appeal to someone 🤔
Dairy_Heir@reddit
Saw a yogurt or something of the sort recently, where the "Protein" version had 1g less protein than the original. Costed more though!
TelluricThread0@reddit
Your average cup of regular yogurt will have several grams of protein but the actual protein version will have like 15. It will also taste like ass because they removed most of the sugar to pack in more protein.
OneNoteMan@reddit
Remove sugar? You mean not add sugar, right? Cause plain Greek yogurt is pretty decent.
I know sugar free juice exists, but that crap tastes like flavored water.
TelluricThread0@reddit
I mean that a cup of protein yogurt has very little sugar and it tastes like flavored glue.
OneNoteMan@reddit
Most protein yogurt is just lowfat Greek(technically Turkish) Yogurt but with marketing. They don't remove sugar from it, it's just that most yogurt sold in the west usually has an absurd amount of added sugar. The low fat is probably what ruins the texture.
TelluricThread0@reddit

Yea, but that is just what happens if you are in a large deficit. It's not unique to Ozempic and other meds, they just make it easier to maintain a large deficit and for longer.

utzutzutzpro@reddit
I translate your words, because you must consider who you are talking to.
One stated "I remember reading something with ocempic and higher preotein needed because of side-effects" and the other uses semaglutide and still didn't consider to inform him/herself about how it works at all.
Translation:
u/bnelson7694 you eat little now, cause you no hungry anymore. That what your prescribed drug does, you no hunger anymore. You eat so little, your body is starving. Body tries to survive, eats itself. You eat more again, will be alright.
It doesn't matter if you eat protein, fat or carbs. Just give your body fuel to work with. As long as you are in a calory deficit, means less calories consumed than you burn, you will lose fat.
As your drug kills your natural hunger pathways, it doesn't matter to eat protein, which is commonly adviced for diets because it can influence that slightly to not feel hunger quickly again. You take drug to entirely kill that.
u/afrothunda254 people do not need to eat more protein unless they are in a carb and fat deficit - your body got three sources of energy, there must be something for your body to be fueled with and the easiest are carbs and protein and then fat. This is not a negative side-effect of semaglutids, it is a side-effect of simply eating nothing. Basic atrophy, means muscle decay. That is it.
When you read something, you may want to read it in whole and also remember enough to not then add more ambiguity to a conversation such as what you did just now.
JoshHuff1332@reddit
As your drug kills your natural hunger pathways, it doesn't matter to eat protein, which is commonly adviced for diets because it can influence that slightly to not feel hunger quickly again. You take drug to entirely kill that.
This isn't totally true. High protein diets still promote maintaining muscle when working out or even gaining muscle in a deficit. This especially true for prescribed users for weight loss, who are obese or morbidly obese, and have more potential to do so as they can handle larger deficits and still gain muscle. It's just not unique to semaglutide, tirzepetide, retatrutide, etc
See above comment.
utzutzutzpro@reddit
That is based on studies which studied the effects of protein intake for resistance training athletes.
The observed effect is nearly statistically insiginificant or of mild effect in almost every of those.
The reason for its working pathway is the idea that the body will prefer to consume the intake protein over the myofibril dissassembly.
Yet, that makes entirely sense with normal people who still have a normal food intake. Who are struggling to retain a deficit of 200-500kcal daily. Not the least, because protein suppresses ghrelin longer than carbs not he least also cause of the lack of insulin impact.
And then especially for those in a deficit plus doing resistance training or any other athletic activity. To increase protein makes sense, as you are actively destroying and rebuilding what that material is used for.
Totally agree with that.
People on semaglutides do not belong in this group per se. The majority are not in a healthy deficit, they literally starve for weeks in a row, heavily.
The easier way is simply to EAT MORE CARBS instead of adding a "normal" diet advices on top of a drug which kills your whole hunger.
That is the point.
People on semglutides do not require to further reduce their calory intake with normal diets, because their hunger function is entirely switched off. So, advicing them to eat more protein.
The advice should be to control their calories and NOW FORCE themselves to eat enough. To reach healthy calory levels again.
They won't experience much atrophy with a healthy deficit. It is just because they literally starve themselves into survival mode.
JoshHuff1332@reddit
High protein diets promoting muscle growth and reducing muscle mass is true for anyone training, not just legitimate athletes. Doctors should be advising resistance training anyways
That is just not true. Research has shown consistently that high protein diets while resistance training reduces the loss of lean body mass by a not insignificant, amount, and that high protein promotes muscle gain. The direction by doctors towards patients should be with the intent that they are also strength training.
This has more to do with ingesting your protein timing, which, yea, is relatively insignificant, or if you are already ingesting a decent amount and not training. It has less to do with a difference in the total amount of protein in a day in an individual who is strength training.
This has nothing to do with what I'm referring too.
This should be the case with these medications, regardless. I also think you misunderstand the process of building muscle, as destroying is not necessary for any sort muscle gain.
That's a separate issue, but is largely reflected in the larger crash diet culture of losing as much weight, as quick as possible. I think many see the quick effects from their initial adjustment to the medication and then "lean into it" per se, but that is more anecdotal.
I'm not of the opinion that carbs are bad, or anything like that, to start, I just want to make that clear. If the people on these medications, assuming they are prescribed to an obese or morbidly obese person, hasn't changed their eating habits to begin with, chances are they are already on a high carb and fat diet. Usually the high protein comments in this situation are geared towards people who think they can eat junk food guilt free because the medication will make them full and stop before they get anywhere close to overeating. Your body still needs a base minimum of protein, which is the point, and you need for just basic bodily functions. In addition, if they are at an overly extreme deficit, higher fat protein sources would assist upping the calorie intake, as it is relatively calorie dense.
There are a few problems with this. You can still have muscle atrophy on a "healthy" deficit. If you healthy deficit from a 300 lb sedentary individual to a 200 lb sedentary individual, you will lose muscle to be proportional to someone who is a 200 lb sedentary. Any notion otherwise is just nonsensical, and depending on height, there is a solid chance the would still have a high body fat percentage. With strength training their is a reductiom in the muscle loss, and even if still losing total body mass at the same rate, the reduction in lean body mass loss mean losing a larger amount of body fat. This effect is greater with a high protein diet and in newcomers to resistance training, who can even gain muscle with strength training. Higher muscle mass also promotes a higher TDEE, making it easier to maintain the weight loss in the long term.
Also, define what you are referring to be "survival mode" as colloquial usage of that in this context is wrong, and I'm not sure if it's what you meant or not.
afrothunda254@reddit
My whole argument is about people on ozempic are being to consume more protein in their diet. I’m not sure you understood what I was saying besides giving me a lesson on a normal diet. Unless your whole conversation is about what Ozempic does to your body and why you don’t need more protein?
utzutzutzpro@reddit
Let's add to your short video knowledge:
Semaglutides greatly suppress your ghrelin secretion, which is your hunger hormon. This is not actually its primary function, or what it had been used for for decades, but is a "side-effect" of semaglutides.
What happens is that people who have malfunctioning relationship to food and no control over their own food intake, suddenly are swinging to the other extreme: no hunger at all.
As these people have no control over their body nor any food routines, they suddenly stop eating at all. Cause they do not have no plan, no routine, nothing that is a healthy way to eat and still is ensuring a stable intake of nutritions.
So, suddenly, a lot literally starve excessively. They do not realize that a lot, because before they were obese and thus the energy household was distrupted, means they were feeling tired all the time. Now they feel tired all the time as well, but now because there is literally no fuel in the tank.
So, the body needs fuel. Hence it takes what it got left. Unfortunately, the body, if not actively triggered by use, does use muscle protein as energy source as well, not just the survival storage: fat.
Thus, you now suddenly have obese people, who never got any control over themselves, thus no established eating habit nor routine, being faced with eating nothing instead of eating controlled.
Suddenly people eating 5k kcal a day are at maybe around 1k kcal a day. Muscles will atrophy.
Some ways to increase anti-catabolic effects, means muscle protecting:
- do resistance training -> using the muscle will protect the muscle from being used as fuel
- control your food, do not go into excessive deficits, but to reasonable levels, such as 500kcal max in deficit. So, you were at 5k, your baseline is 3.5k (cause you heavy), now take in 3k. That requires you to eat when you are not hungry.
So, people won't. People who take semaglutides for diet functions are not those who are very disciplined.
and then the bullshit variant:
- eat more protein, thus to hope that your body will use the protein intae as energy source instead of the muscle protein.
So, why is that bullshit?
Well, because you could also just eat carbs. Easier to use energy for your body AND FOR YOUR BRAIN.
It is just bollocks and it is based on a transfer idea of some studies which showed anti-catabolic effects of protein intake in high intensity resistance training athletes.
Tada - knowledge for free.
luv2hotdog@reddit
Yep, if your appetite has successfully been suppressed to the point that you’re now eating little enough that you lose weight, then there’s a good chance for many people that they aren’t getting enough protein as part of that small diet
Depending on your lifestyle and diet in the first place, maybe this would happen to you or maybe it wouldn’t. But I can easily see how it would happen. If your instinct when a little hungry but not really any that hungry, in the mood for a snack, is to have a few crackers or some fruit instead of to eat a boiled egg or something, you can lose protein
My appetite was suppressed and I lost weight for NOT on-purpose, diet reasons, my muscles atrophied badly, and until I got it back the appetite back I had to make an effort to prioritise protein

I’m not saying docs are telling you to eat protein candy. But that due to a wave of people on ozempic people are finding more ways to get more protein food options. I agree with others stating protein options have always been a thing. From what I’m reading/seeing is the people who make ozempic are working with other companies to offer said protein options. While doctors are also recommending ozempic patients to find more protein options in their diet.
notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit
When your appetite is so suppressed I wouldn't think one could afford to eat any candy at all. Save your appetite for getting a bit of nutrients and fibre into yourself.

You're basically starving yourself of nutrients. Your body needs protein to operate, if you don't eat enough, your body cannibalizes your muscle mass to make up the difference.
FishRoom_BSM@reddit

bulbousgrandpa@reddit
It's less the protein and more the lack of activity. If you crash diet on a daily calorie deficit of 1000 cals a day and you don't exercise, you are going to lose muscle mass pretty quick. The ozempic just makes it easier to be in a 1000 calorie deficit for long enough for that to be noticeable. Eating more protein helps a little but the signaling for muscle growth from exercise is a much larger magnitude of effect.

Colonel_Fart-Face@reddit
Nah I feel like fibre will never really take off as a trend because it just isn't profitable. High fibre foods are usually dirt cheap like chick peas, lentils, and greens. The wellness industry probably wouldn't let it happen either because fibre can solve tons of health issues and they wouldn't be able to sell you on their bullshit.
When I switched to high fibre my grocery bill went down AND my general health went way up. Neither of those things increase shareholder value.
High protein on the other hand is very expensive with high profit margins, and if you don't plan your diet well than you can end up feeling like shit and buying lots of supplements. Not to mention increasing things like diverticulitis, IBS, crohn's, colon cancer, and even heart disease.
geyeetet@reddit
I think they'll MAKE fibre profitable by sticking it in cakes and cookies and sweets like this lmao
notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit
Yeah, but almost all doctors don't tell you to eat lentils, they tell you to take a fibre supplement. They do the exact same thing as OP's pic in the food industry, high fibre candy, high fibre ice cream, they'll sugarcoat the shit out of it. There's nothing special about protein in this regard, the same as low fat and low sugar movements that came before. It's all marketable if people are set up to be marketed to.

No_Interaction_4925@reddit
Nah its just a marketing fad. Like how they pretended it was fat making people fat, when it was the sugar actually doing it
Lurkylurkness@reddit
People on ozempic are suffering from having their gastrointestinal tract slow down. It decreases their hunger. They are not getting enough of ANY macro nutrients. Protein, Carbs, or fats. Getting protein candy isn't going to fix it. If this is like other "healthy" candies and it has sugar alcohols vs regular sugars, they'll just diarrhea dump anything they do eat, so that's even less food absorption. I'm not even hating on ozempic either. I tried to get wegovy but that was at the every beginning when shortages were months out from refills. I ended up with Gastric Sleeve surgery. And the benefit of that was mental preparation vs getting ozempic or wegovy is getting the shot but not going through the journey of learning healthy eating and relationship with food.
oniiichanUwU@reddit
Not all sugar alcohols are the same and not all of them cause problems for everyone. I can personally put down half a container or Halo Top and be fine while I’ve heard some people get explosive diarrhea from it lol. But people who get gastric sleeves and bypass surgeries can suffer the same mental issues as someone on GLP-1s, it’s the same thing with a different mechanism, they’re both (expensive) tools to help you. If you’re not gonna change your diet or how you think about food, then it doesn’t matter what kind of diet or tool you’re using, it won’t fix the core issues.
I do think that’s one of the main problems though, the shots are a lot easier to do than a whole ass surgery so people aren’t taking the time to actually fix their issues. I’ve seen people on YouTube “eating through ozempic” instead of actually looking at what they’re doing wrong. It’s sad. I’m 70lb down and sometimes I look at a plate of food I make for myself vs my husband and I’m in shock I used to eat like that.
Lurkylurkness@reddit
Oh yeah I only mentioned that because if I had ended up with the shots, I probably would have been worse off. I'm thankful that I ended up with the sleeve because I ended up getting the therapy and help I needed prior to the surgery. I have always explained to others it is meant to be a tool and not a fix-all. After my surgery, I'll get hungry and I'll order food and my brain defaults to how much I ordered over three years ago and I eat barely any so it's just extra food for my husband. We also have a friend who is on weight loss shots, but then also takes an appetite stimulant, and then eats stuff like .. McDonald's. And I just sit there because it's not my place to give him advice and I don't think he would listen regardless. Tools can help, but that depends on how it's utilized by the user. But after my surgery - it also just changed my taste preferences. :c
oniiichanUwU@reddit
That’s so crazy to me. On the odd occasion I get fast food now I think twice about it and it’s meant to be like a treat, I haven’t had McDonald’s in almost a year because it’s just not worth the cost or calories anymore 😭 some people seem to think it’s the easy way to do things though. Crazy lol. I feel you on the taste thing, I hope you’re hanging in there. I had to cut back on the spicy food myself because it gives me heartburn these days when it wouldn’t before :( probably for the best though since I used to inhale a bag of takis like it was nothing lol

Well it's really that ozempic makes them eat less, and if you don't eat enough, and don't workout, protein can help retain some muscle mass.

No. I mean, there are side effects to Ozempic, but those that you are talking about is just in regards to eating a deficit, and, specifically, working out. Eating a lot of protein in a deficit, while working out, just prevents muscle loss, and if you are new to working out, helps gain muscle, even in a defecit.

GLS504@reddit
Right, it’s all fucking gimmick marketing. Just eat your protein and then if you WANT you can just rest regular candy or whatever else without trying to make it a way to get protein
boofskootinboogie@reddit
Why does it bother you?
Incendas1@reddit
This protein marketing craze bothers me because it means nothing. If you pick up a "protein" version of an item, 90% of the time it has a tiny amount of protein anyway. Sometimes it's no different from the regular version. Marketing clutter.
Shit like "protein ham" is stupid. It's fucking ham, it IS protein already... And yes it had worse macros than the regular ass ham I buy.
pocket267s@reddit
Right? Have they tried not caring about what other people eat? “Candy is RUINED!!!” 🤣🫠
jscummy@reddit
If that's what these people prefer it doesn't affect me, but my preference is to eat some chicken and have a dessert that actually tastes good. My experience is most of these products are straight up bad and only have like 10-15g protein
GLS504@reddit
I’m not upset about what other people eat. But also…the OP is complaining about how his candy is like styrofoam…so if you complain about something on a forum like Reddit where people are expected to respond…this is my response. Why do you care about my response?
GLS504@reddit
I’m not bothered. I find it to be very in line with normal marketing tactics that unfortunately work on a very uneducated and uninformed public. Nutritional knowledge is pretty nonexistent in the majority of Americans
uwfan893@reddit
Nah you’re stupid for being upset about this.
Nothing was ruined, everyone is still free to buy candy that is pure sugar.
girlinthegoldenboots@reddit
I can’t. I have gastroparesis. The new protein products are things I can digest so I’m glad more protein things are coming out.
gravetheangel@reddit
right! want more protein? eat more nuts! or tinned fish! or beans! or even lean cheeses!
rivermelodyidk@reddit
genuinely gummies are the only candy that is "supposed to" have protein-- they're typically made from gelatin which is a source of protein.
zach0011@reddit
Guess what. Normal sweets still exist. They didnt actually ruin anything.

Right. the amount of high proteins desserts from influencers or protein marketed products. Like just eat the damn dessert as a treat occasionally you ain't gon die. No need to add some grainy cottage cheese to everything.
Luigi156@reddit
Yes, but I enjoy a 50g protein bar with 25g of protein. It's quite a lot healthier than a twix or smth and is a bit more satiating. There's merit to it as well.

Nott_of_the_North@reddit

AdjacentBirdman93@reddit
as a gym guy, yeah. This.
Stop trying to get nutrients in places they aren’t naturally.
Eat meats like steak beef and chicken, lots of veggie options like chickpeas and beans and lentils etc, there’s so many DELICIOUS ways to get protein if you’re willing to do the work
pocket267s@reddit
Yea but nobody’s asking for a nutritionist, they can just go ahead and live their life and it doesn’t hurt me.
SwissMargiela@reddit
I have to use protein supplements because I simply can’t eat nor afford enough organic food to maintain these sick gainz
nvmenotfound@reddit
some folks who have had their stomachs altered though weight loss surgery sometimes can’t eat the amount of food necessary to get their daily protein. fyi.
floweredcontadiction@reddit
It's the “natural” no empty calories craze.
jscummy@reddit
Wouldn't natural be getting your protein from fish, chicken or any of the other high protein whole foods instead of eating some candy with protein isolate added?
floweredcontadiction@reddit
Yes, technically. However, they slap the word “natural” on it, and people go crazy.
glazedhamster@reddit
Yes. But they're not going after the segment of the population who already knows that and eats that way, they're going after people browsing the candy aisle.
There's a designer on YT who redesigns junk food to be "natural" and "healthy" as kind of a joke, first thing I thought of when I saw this post. He doesn't change the ingredients or lie, just tweaks what aspects are featured, throws some giant cartoon fruits on the side, gives it a different name and boom, you've got "healthy" candy that's no healthier than it was in the original packaging. It's just marketing.
ahilliard0114@reddit
Agreed, except for the protein pudding from Aldi's. That stuff is so good.
falcons93@reddit

The worst part too is that they slap it on things that have terrible macros, like i dont give a shit if my pop tart has 10g of protein when it's already 400 calories. Rather enjoy a real poptart than suffer for 10g of protein

This ball started rolling in the late 2010s, at least.
Fitness influencers, pop culture knowledge of gym culture and macros, and gobs of all sorts of influencers ready to push a snazzy sounding product. Not to mention the commodification and vilification of sugars and/or fats being worn thin following several decades of pop culture attention.

Yeah that shit was cold. From tasting like a chocolate chip cookie to an eraser from the 1990s. I remember food bloggers making pseudo cookies with them, trying it myself and it actually working. I tried the same thing a couple years ago and it was gnarly/inedible. They used to use oligosaccharides IIRC but then cheaped out and went to inulin or something else that just. Doesn’t. Work.
bdjohn06@reddit
And Poppi is the warning for the coming fibermaxing wave.
WhyLisaWhy@reddit
Well tooooooo beeee fair, if you're working out regularly you need to be getting a lot of protein. Even more so if you're being careful about what you eat calorie wise. Otherwise you'll just get fatigued and not see a lot of improvement.
Idk its easier to just eat some plain yogurt during the day, but people love their gimmicky snacks.
anuthertw@reddit
It's literally because so many people are on glp-1s and have to up their protein intake, but don't feel very snacks anymore. It's food giants trying to keep their sales lol
Awayfone@reddit
A "GLP-1 Friendly' diet" is protein packed to combat muscles lose and the lower calories consumed. That's why there is duch a protein fad right now, especially since regular snacks see a decrease in sales from the weight loss medication and bad economy.
That's also why you are seeing more things promoting "high fiber" recently now that people are dealing with a side effect of glp1 significantly slowing gastrointestinal motility.

As someone on a GLP-1 I feel like I would never leave the bathroom if I ate this protein shit all the time lol.
I feel like it started way before Ozempic came on the scene, back when everybody was crazy about keto. It's just gotten worse over time.
I can definitely see the fiber thing being glp-1 related, but literally if you just eat fruits and veggies regularly you will be regular yourself.
Zefirus@reddit
Yeah, this is fitness bro shit, not ozempic.

The only reason why the "Protein" is going on candy bags, is because the law says you cannot buy candy with a SNAP EBT card.
So if they add the word Protein; now they can call it food, and you can use your SNAP EBT CARD.

thejustducky1@reddit
It's the new way of saying "health food" - it got me for a minute until I started comparing actual contents, now if I see "Protein" all over the front, I check to see how much bullshit it is before I buy, they'll put "Protein" on -anything- to make it sound healthy.

They should take most of those products and add the equivalent in fiber instead, which is actually something people need more of in their diet

I just eat everything in those high fiber tortillas now. Having an egg for breakfast? Add some cheese and slam it in a tortilla? Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch? Naw.

Chop up and pan fry a tortilla.

BtownBlues@reddit
Even beyond the overinflated marketing, the bare minimum amount needed to slap the protein label on is like 10g-14g which is hardly a large amount
fmpz@reddit
Also there’s no requirements for protein quality. A lot of these things use collagen which is technically a protein but not made up of any real variety of amino acids that you need for muscle or other things. It’s pretty low quality waste from animal processing that’s dirt cheap with no major nutritional value.
HPTM2008@reddit
Like, that's just a single egg.
OpportunityNext9675@reddit
An egg has about 6g protein.

BtownBlues@reddit

HPTM2008@reddit

Same_Adagio_1386@reddit
Also the overimportance of protein in diet. Unless you're hauling weights or doing high intensity cardio (which judging by OP's nails and soft hands, seems a near certainty that they aren't), you absolutely don't need to be supplementing protein. That's unless you've got a severe deficiency in your diet. In which case, just buy cheap whey and some frozen berries to make yourself a smoothie once every couple of days. Or eat more beans/lentils. Or buy chicken breast in bulk, freeze most of it and then make yourself a delicious stir fry every few nights.
Unless you're macro counting for bulking/recomp/maintenance, you don't need to be cramming protein into every little thing. Even then, people who ARE doing those things (like myself) would recommend a hundred better ways to do it than eating protein candy and drinking protein soda.
Awayfone@reddit
well not. things do have the protein label when even lower. 10g is the ridiculous low requirement for "high in protein"

If you don't need it don't buy it, get your normal stuff, we can have it all!

Colorectal cancer is the 4th most prevalent cancer in the US. At the time of diagnosis, about 75% of people with colorectal cancer are already in advanced stages of the disease. It is by far the deadliest cancer for people under 50, which is wild considering that insurances don’t cover preventative colorectal cancer screenings until 45 years old (down from age 50 recently).
Source
TLDR: Colorectal cancer is very bad and very common in Americans under 50. Eat more fiber (fruits, veggies, legumes, etc.), cut out the processed crap in your diet as best you can, and try to limit tobacco/nicotine/alcohol.
omers@reddit
This is very true but most headlines talk about percentages and relative risk. I think it's important for people to recognize that in the US it's still an incidence rate of approx. 15 new cases in 100,000 people aged 25-49.
Headlines about it fast becoming the most deadly cancer in young people are scary; However, people need to remember that cancer doesn't kill that many young people to begin with.
None of this is to downplay the seriousness and people should of course talk to their doctor if they have concerns. Just don't think it's worth creating massive health anxiety. People should watch their diets with focus on good nutrition and health. They don't need to obsess over every single bowel movement and tummy rumble though. Not to mention, Crohn's disease, IBD/IBS, common allergies like soy, and such are still WAY more likely to be the cause of regular gastrointestinal issues (like hundreds of times more likely.)

Twistedphilosochef@reddit
I’m turning 69 next month. (I know, hahaha). Tomorrow morning I’m having half my rectum and a big chunk of my colon removed for a stage 2 rectal cancer. I had my first colonoscopy ever this past February, having put off having the test for years, because it sounded awful. I’m actually lucky that I was having rectal bleeding, as the event sent me to a GI doc and the procedure. Without this symptom it may well have gone to stage 4 and taken my life. As it stands, although the journey won’t be a fun one, the surgeon expects a completed cure. It’s a very invasive surgery and I’ll need to have a colostomy bag for 6 weeks. After that, thank you God, they’ll put me back together and I should function “close to normally” again. But if I had gone for screening five years earlier, removing the tumor would have been a very simple procedure.
I got into “health food” in the early 70s, in my hippie days. Although I’m not vegetarian, I do not eat meat every day, and often prepare vegetarian meals. I avoid processed food and additives. I eat my veggies, my fruits, my whole grains, and my beans, and choose organic whenever possible.
So…while I agree with all the posters who recommend eating a diet that resembles mine, don’t assume it will put you in the clear. GET CHECKED, PEOPLE!! Early diagnosis is the difference between being cured and being dead.
BTW, I went with my husband, who’s mildly diabetic, for a check up with our mutual PCP last week. He strongly recommended (insisted) that we switch to a diet of only meat and fat, eliminating all carbohydrates. Meat, fat, and vegetables that grow above ground. I’m looking for a new doctor.

A friend of mine died last year at age 43 after battling this kind of cancer for 5 years. He was a big food lover, but especially the shittiest and most sugary processed crap you can find. I can't upvote your post enough - people need to eat some damn vegetables every day, it's just how we evolved. I'm the "skinny" one of my friends even though I'm actually close to being overweight. But someone always has to make a comment when I get a salad. I just don't want to die horribly before I get to see my daughter grow up, and also salads are fucking delicious. Beans too, I love them even though they don't love me back!

I cook them in water with an onion roughly chopped, a few jalapenos, and some whole cloves of garlic. I don't add salt until they're cooked, seems to keep their skins softer and less leathery. I usually eat them with a little brown rice and some home made salsa. Kind of plain, but so tasty and helps give a feeling of fullness. I don't eat meat and I'm on a medication right now that can cause muscle wasting so I wanted to make sure I'm getting a good amount of protein and I also make sure to do an hour of exercise every morning. Seems like it's all been working out perfectly fine.

It's not just Metamucil, pretty much all all psyllium fiber supplements have some lead contamination. It's not from manufacturing but soil contamination where the plants the psyllium husk comes from are grown. https://www.consumerlab.com/news/best-psyllium-fiber-supplements-2024/02-29-2024/
Some brands contain less than others and the most concerning levels are only seen if taking the maximum daily recommended dose.
If you have concerns there are lots of alternatives that are just as cheap and just as easy. Psyllium is primarily soluble fiber as are other common supplement fibers like inulin, wheat Dextrin, methylcellulose, etc. That said, not all fibers are exactly equal. Wheat Dextrin for example (what's in Benefiber) has regularity benefits like psyllium but doesn't have the same cholesterol lowering benefits.
Diverse sources of fiber are honestly you best bet. Add some berries to breakfast and use whole wheat pastries, add some beans or lentils to lunch, use whole wheat pastas and high fiber veggies for supper. That sort of thing... One or two scoops of psyllium to round out the other sources isn't going to hurt you. Just don't use it as your primary and only source of fiber (not just because of potential lead.)

Protein is not to blame. If you're also getting fiber and not getting your protein through red meats or processed foods daily, you're fine. Protein on its own isn't going to give you colon cancer.

It's a recent trend and only been around for a few months, the protein craze has been going strong for a few years now. I'm glad to see fiber getting more attention due to the rise of colon cancer but it will be a while until it's a staple in people's diets. For many they'll never jump on board and face issues later on.

Chill? Why? Is telling someone to read an article, after they clearly demonstrated that they didn't, an overreaction? Is this where we're at now? Can't call people out on their shit?
It has fuck all to do with the topic of fiber. It has to do with someone who had no intentions of deviating from their position no matter what's presented to them.
You are taking the wrong side here. Misinformation should never be defended. Period.
moriartygotswag@reddit
I’m not taking the side of misinformation it’s just not that serious.
Also, trends aren’t trends immediately. Protein is a trend currently, because most people are aware of it and it’s being used by corporations as a marketing strategy. Fibre is not YET a craze, but it’s getting there; you’re just a bit ahead of the game. Normal people are not fibremaxxing they’re still drinking protein water and eating rebranded poptarts

You've never been inside a gym. A lot of those dudes are rocking 3L water bottles and constantly taking massive swigs.

Twistedphilosochef@reddit
I’m turning 69 next month. (I know, hahaha). Tomorrow morning I’m having half my rectum and a big chunk of my colon removed for a stage 2 rectal cancer. I had my first colonoscopy ever this past February, having put off having the test for years, because it sounded awful. I’m actually lucky that I was having rectal bleeding, the event that sent me to a GI doc and the procedure. Without this symptom it may well have gone to stage 4 and taken my life. As it stands, although the journey won’t be a fun one, the surgeon expects a completed cure. It’s a very invasive surgery and I’ll need to have a colostomy bag for 6 weeks. After that, thank you God, they’ll put me back together and will function “close to normally” again. But if I had gone for screening five years earlier, removing the tumor would have been a very simple procedure.
I got into “health food” in the early 70s, in my hippie days. Although I’m not vegetarian, I do not eat meat every day, and often prepare vegetarian meals. I avoid processed food and additives. I eat my veggies, my fruits, my whole grains, and my beans, and choose organic whenever possible.
So…while I agree with all the posters who recommend eating a diet that resembles mine, don’t assume it will put you in the clear. GET CHECKED, PEOPLE!! Early diagnosis is the difference between being cured and being dead.
BTW, I went with my husband, who’s mildly diabetic, for a check up with our mutual pcp. He strongly recommended (insisted) that we switch to a diet of only meat and fat, eliminating all carbohydrates. Meat, fat, and vegetables that grow above ground. I’m looking for a new doctor.

Lightly steamed? Baked? Microwaved in the bag (but rescue it fast before it turns brown and the smell gets ya!). I’ve been frying it lately, and that’s pretty good. I hear kale is healthy but I’m not a fan of that.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
overboiled till its mush😭😭
Black_Jester_@reddit
Kinda cool the emojis don’t have noses 😂 they’re safe! Try steaming it sometime or frying it. Steaming makes it kinda sweet and frying makes it kinda toasty. Or if you like it mush, carry on, carry on.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
I don't entirely like biting on hard vegetables except carrots and celery, kinda weird!🥸 my dad tells me to steam it because it keeps nutrients but its still rock😞
Black_Jester_@reddit
You have to learn the colors, then test with a fork while you learn. Perfectly steamed broccoli is mostly tender and just a little firm. It’s pretty delightful. It turns a bright green and then begins to soften. If it starts turning dark, too much, so you have to learn the timing and everything for your set-up and never leave the lid on once it’s done. 😂 it’ll keep cooking and go dark. Some things say to rinse it in cold water to stop the cooking but I just stop it a little early, knowing it’ll keep cooking before it arrives on a plate. Maybe you already knew all that, and maybe it’s the path to unlock broccoli goodness! If you overcook it at least you know that’s alright (similar to boiled then). I bet it beats these protein poison bites 😂
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
My dad always tells me to steam them in the convection oven🤔
Black_Jester_@reddit
Anywhere really. A glass bowl in the microwave with a little water, a pot or pan on the stove (any way to get a little water in there and a good lid or if it has a hole in the top put foil in it to make a seal). I usually do a frying pan with lid since I don’t have a strainer insert thing anymore. Convection could work too but I think these might be easier.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
a little water? thats it?🤔
Black_Jester_@reddit
Yup! Maybe 1/2” deep in a pan or do 1/2 cup in a small bowl, 3/4 cup in a medium bowl for microwave. You just want water for a good steam.

Look. I was a serious body builder for over five years, with the pandemic and two new kids putting a major stop to it. During that time, protein and I became incredibly well acquainted. It was to a level that my wife could have left me and claimed I was cheating on her with protein, and she would have a solid case. During that time, there was one undeniable fact:
Protein has a flavor. And it is always the same.
You can squash it into cookies, cut it into bars, melt it into shakes, powder it into chips, or whatever else your filthy little heart desires. It doesn't matter what it is, it will always taste like protein.
Least-Rip-2563@reddit
Also isn’t it best to eat naturally sourced protein ie. Meat, beans, tofu, etc.?
trashthrowtrashlad@reddit
if you are trying to build serious muscle, you need a lot more protein. around 2-2.2g per kg. good luck getting that much from meat or beans.
bleeberbleeberbleeb@reddit
Former strongman competitor/current men’s open bodybuilder here. You can absolutely (and should) get most of your protein from whole food sources. Protein supplements are good for quick intake post-workout, but no one should be having a hard time hitting their protein target via whole foods. I eat 340g of chicken, 170g of sirloin, 3 whole eggs, 300g of Greek yogurt each day (those are my primary protein sources) and that gets me to 215g of protein. An additional 75g of protein comes from a post-workout protein shake for quickly getting protein to the muscles, but replacing that shake with two additional portions of chicken breast would work just as well. If you are trying to build serious muscle, you should be focusing on getting your protein from a dialed-in meal plan, not just throwing protein shakes back.
theovenreheated@reddit
I know a guy on Instagram that goes by obi44.4 who would greatly enjoy those 25 eggs
OneWholePirate@reddit
I mean I get 200g of protein a day as a vegan and 140 of that is beans and tofu, it's not actually that hard provided you're a decent cook
notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit
That's so much food volume to eat. I could never.
OneWholePirate@reddit
If you cook from scratch it's definitely heavy food but it's not actually that much, most of my meals are around 4-500g with 50-80g protein. I eat a lot of plant based burgers and that's an easy 50g protein in a ~350g burger. Also do a lot of pasta but use red lentil pasta and make a "cream" sauce with blended silken tofu and a second protein like marinated tofu "bacon", 400g meal with 60+ protein.
I rarely even track my macros any more unless I'm cutting because its so easy to get protein in once you have a bit of experience and know which products work well
PoppinFresh420@reddit
What plants do you make the burgers out of? I don’t see any beans or tofu with enough protein to get 50g/350g. Or does cooking it keep the protein but reduce weight?
OneWholePirate@reddit
I use 2 vegan "meat" patties that are mostly soy protein. They're 25g protein in a 110g patty and I use high protein Buns with another 10g then make a honey sriracha sauce with homemade Mayo that uses silken tofu so there's even protein in the sauce.

CastielsBrother@reddit
Eggs are such a stupid, cherry-picked comparison. There's also 160g of protein in like 4 chicken breasts. Or, get this, you could eat a variety of food.
WhyLisaWhy@reddit
Lol right? I think he's also assuming everyone working out is trying to body build. I am an avid runner (50 miles a week) and get my 160g of protein pretty easily. Yogurt, beans, overnight oats and chicken and fish can help clear that pretty easily without stuffing your face full of eggs lol.
160 is on the high end too, I've heard I can get by with less and be totally fine since massive muscles arent my goal.
VirginiaJensen@reddit
Actually there are studies that say 1-1.6g per body weight are sufficient. But that's not too much different
ConfidentlyAsshole@reddit
Did you actually read those studies? Because what they realy say is that even after 1.6g there is an increase in benefits altough it gets smaller
miyabi0rochas@reddit
Ye I think people have been exaggerating maybe to sell more products. Many people used to be strong and fit and barely got to 2.5 grams. I think many overlook generally physical activity, general diet total energy and rest. I never focused protein and used to be pretty fit and toned. While I knew people who ate alot and weren't. You simply don't need protein candy. Regular diet is enough.
VirginiaJensen@reddit
Maybe? Not sure. I bodybuild now and have been for a while and have always heard different things about how much protein you need: most of it coming from people who aren't dieticians. Yeah, it's hard to argue with a monstrous bodybuilder about it when they've obviously seen results, but the science doesn't lie. It's consistently shown that above 1.6/1.7g per kg it doesn't help much more. I have protein powder that I supplement with but that's because I get lazy and don't always want to cook. Lol
miyabi0rochas@reddit
You probably don't need that much and else a bit of protein powder/shake to supplement is fine we don't need protein candy. People back then didn't eat 25 eggs a day and made sufficient gains.
Winded_14@reddit
That's only if you want to bulk up your body. Normal people like me doesn't need more than 1-1.5gr/kg. Not everybody is a bodybuilder. In fact most reputable website like mayoclinic says 0.8gr/kg is enough for sedentary lifestyle (aka living normally) and to maintain the muscle.
thesolmachine@reddit
It's not that hard, but it's not super easy either. I think if you can cut out beer, it gets a lot easier.
It's an extra protein shake, a couple of eggs and adding beans to your rice cooker and you can get there. But you do have to be aware.
Mixing in stuff ain't it.
sdevil713@reddit
Thats not getting anyone near 220g+
trashthrowtrashlad@reddit
You have no idea what you're talking about. If you are gaining muscle, you will count calories and you will absolutely need powerder to cover the gaps. That beer comment had so much reddit 'never worked out in my life' energy.
thesolmachine@reddit
"It's an extra protein shake"
Why are you going so hard? I mentioned getting it from other sources in my comment.
Beer ups your calorie content making you less hungry making it harder to eat protein. If you eliminate it, you get hungrier.
I'm an alcoholic and lifter that oscillates. I'm not particularly ripped but I'm adequate.
Why getting so personal with it? I have a 16:55 5K PR, a bench press that's a little above my body weight and can crank out 30 pushups. I'm not amazing at any of these things, but it's good enough to have a basic idea of the concepts.

Thank you. Cannot stand the little slights that come with these sort of comments. Then to have others chime in “IVE ALWAYS WONDERED THAT!” Why are yall wondering how people wipe their ass?
I’ve recently gotten into nails and nail art and haven’t had a problem… I also have a big ass and am reminded of all the jokes ppl make about Kim kardashian wiping her ass… ppl be caring a whole lot about asses and how their wiped lol.
Big_Recognition_4117@reddit
I mean I heard a good question which is how do blind people work out when they're done wiping?
lilacsforcharlie@reddit
Okay so this did make me laugh, but I think your logic is folks are getting poop anywhere besides the paper, hence them needing to see it? Then again, probably not a large population of blind people having those kind of nails put on lol.
I still end right back up at, “don’t know, don’t care, I don’t want to think about others (or even myself’s) shitting habits” lol. Ima tap outta this convo now tho lol, anywhere from here is too gross for me lol, but funny response sir/ma’am well done.

The nails usually stab through the toilet paper when youre trying to make absolute sure youre fully clean. Its one of the reasons i can't wear nails longer than my natural ones.

Lopsided-Platform679@reddit
Do you wipe with your fingernails?? I don't understand why grown adults feel the need to ask stupid questions like this just to shame others for their fashion choices. We fucking get it she has long nails why is every comment acting like they've never seen that before.
cerareece@reddit
reddit really collectively shits themselves over nails longer than bitten off stubs all the time. like yeah these are pretty long, but I've seen the "how do you wipe your ass" on pointed almond nails. they all race to post it too cause they gotta be the number one funniest joke repeater
I also guarantee none of these comedians own a nail brush since they seem flabbergasted by the idea of washing your nails

It is actually! Anytime you open a post that simply features a woman with long nails, it’s filled with comments about how she must be unable to perform daily functions and must be disgusting. It’s deep rooted misogyny and im fucking tired of seeing it.

_name_of_the_user_@reddit
Most women don't have nails like that, and most women don't catch shit for their nails. It has nothing to do with misogyny and everything to do with OP's choices. The choice to have ridiculously long nails severely limits the functionality of one of the most functional parts of the body, her hands. Aesthetically, it looks horrendous to me, but that's subjective and my opinion is my own and shouldn't influence anyone else. Functionally though, she's purposely reducing her ability to perform basic tasks. It screams high maintenance, low accountability, and more than likely she's going to use those nails as a form of weaponized incompetence.
None of that has anything to do with hating women/misogyny.

sometimes i want a treat/snacky-snack but I also don’t want to veer off course with my eating habits, so things in this category can scratch the itch without fully committing to eating a bag of sour patch kids or chips or something. i occasionally buy stuff like this but not often as it’s all ultra-processed obviously.

I do think it’s a bit odd to call people losers for something they don’t find appealing. Nails aren’t for men, it’s for predominantly women who hit want to wear them. But we don’t have to pretend to not find them attractive. I don’t go around my day to day calling them dumb though in public.

Seriously though, social media has severely broken society. Everyone's chasing dumb fads, I know they always have but it seems there's a new one every week now. Then company's finally get fad products out but everyones already over it by that point, and they desperately try shoving it down your throat for the next year to try and shift product they made way too late. And then EVERY company does a version cus they don't wanna miss out on the next "big thing".
How many people do you think give a toss about labubus anymore? Probably thousands of tonnes of bullshit that went almost straight from factories to landfills.

why don’t you just drink a glass of milk or have some Greek yogurt. i understand if you can’t consume dairy but that has just as much protein and more nutrients in it. cannot wrap my head around “protein candy”! sis there is protein in so many things we have demonized actual whole food

Earlier you said it was because your blood sugar was low and you don’t react well to “artificial sugars,” which makes absolutely no sense.

How is that any different from what was said before? She had limited time, grabbed a quick snack at a gas station because she has low blood sugar and doesn’t react well to artificial sweeteners.

no such thing as "protein" candy - stop buying gimmicks.
The new buzz word in marketing for the next 2 years is "PROTEIN" don't fall for this shit.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
i bought it for its low sugar content
Relax_itsa_Meme@reddit
but it has a HIGH sugar alcohol. Still not good.
The only reason why the "Protein" is going on candy bags, is because the law says you cannot buy candy with a SNAP EBT card.
So if they add the word Protein; now they can call it food, and you can use your SNAP EBT CARD.
ONE BIG FAT FUCKING LIE AND SCAM.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
idk what a snap ebt card is, also it wasn't a sugar alcohol its a fiber based sugar
Relax_itsa_Meme@reddit
it's government welfare "food stamps"

People really do buy anything with the word protein on it don’t they?

Bit-Odd@reddit
I work at a store that sells these, they were new to us at the time so I bought a package while they were on sale, and thought I’d give them a try…
They had the texture, consistency, and slight flavour of Swiss cheese. I love Swiss cheese, but when I’m trying to eat candy it isn’t exactly the flavour I’m looking for. Protein is great, but it doesn’t belong in everything. This is one of those things.

I'm what way? They're both form over function. They both actively reduce the function of what the style is applied to. They both look terrible.... Seems pretty analogous to me.

"form" over function, i can quite literally do anything i want with both long nails and short, just accept that you're a pessemistic pos who loves commenting on peoples reddit posts insulting them, and i swear to god if you're over the age of 24 insulting a 19 year old over NAILS. that's worse
_name_of_the_user_@reddit
Yes, I agree, you likely can do anything you want. Just like the people driving squated trucks can do anything they want with their truck. It's the lack of desire to do more than what those style choices allow that tells a story about the person's choices.

because my blood sugar is low
Iguanabewithyou@reddit
Then why not just eat regular candy? Why buy some stupid protein version when all you needed was sugar? You're suffering because of your own decision, "protein boosted" stuff often tastes way worse than the regular version. Again, your fault lol
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
taaabarnak, because maybe the slightest amount of refined and artificial sugar affects me still like it did when i was a kid
notabigmelvillecrowd@reddit
But eating something without sugar won't raise your blood sugar... you could drink some fruit juice. When your blood sugar is low you need... sugar.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
fruit juice unfortunately has the same effect as sour patch kids does to me unless its fresh with nothing added
Iguanabewithyou@reddit
Again, why eat protein version of a candy if all you needed was sugar? Jfc at that point just get a spoonful of sugar (artificial or refined ; who knows which, cause apparently you can't have either! 🙄) are you diabetic or something?

“cane sugar had no effect on me though, just pure white granulated sugar”
What do you think “white granulated sugar” is? Where do you think it comes from?
And again, why did you bring up artificial sweeteners?
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
white granulated sugar is cane sugar thats stripped of everything else😐
Dounce1@reddit
Wow you’ve finally demonstrated that you’re actually capable of answering a question. So again, why did you bring up artificial sweeteners?
What is the “everything else” that is “stripped” and what does this change?
Are you unaware of beet sugar?
Dounce1@reddit
This makes no sense.
crybannanna@reddit
You’re asking a person who chooses to disable their own fine motor control, to make sense? Come on.
Given the manicure, I think it makes perfect sense that someone with low blood sugar, who needs sugar specifically, and has bad reactions to fake sugar, would choose a candy that says “low sugar” which guarantees it has tons of fake sugar and very low in “sugar”. Again…. It might not make a lick of sense to you or me, but the nails wraps it all up in a neat little package if you give it a minute.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
well, my blood sugar is low but artificial and refined sugars affect my eczema
Dounce1@reddit
No they don’t. But if you want to believe they do, just eat an apple and avoid this garbage.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
refined sugars have affected my eczema since i was a child
Dounce1@reddit
No, they haven’t. There is no scientific basis for that. It is possible that eating too much sugar in general is having an affect, but even that is incredibly unlikely:
“Abstract
Patients with atopic dermatitis frequently blame food for worsening their eczema. Recently, a sugar-free diet has become very popular among German patients. In order to investigate whether sucrose is an aggravating factor in atopic dermatitis, we conducted a prospective study in 30 patients. Double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenges with sugar were performed during a sugar-free diet period, which was started one week prior to the first challenge. Study parameters included the SCORAD index and eosinophilic cationic protein levels, which were determined before diet, on food challenges and one day after. In 29 evaluable patients we observed no significant difference in study parameters after the verum challenge compared to the placebo challenge. From these results, we conclude that sugar is not an aggravating factor in atopic dermatitis, which contradicts the view of many patients and underlines the importance of evidence-based medicine in the guidance of patients.”
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
so then please explain to me why everytime i ate refinded sugars as a kid my eczema would get so bad it almost scarred, if you can't explain that to me with the dna of a chinese person we're done here
Dounce1@reddit
It’s most likely psychosomatic, and in the minute possibility that it isn’t, the issue would be too much sugar period, refined or otherwise.
Now again, please, tell me why you brought up artificial sweeteners?
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
cane sugar had no effect on me though, just pure white granulated sugar

Your fault for eating protein candy lol. Candy is sugar. Starches are starch. Protein is protein. You can’t just add protein into things without changing its structure. Unless it’s what my buddy Derek did to a jelly donut. But you probably don’t wanna eat that.

To precursor this, I work out 6 to 7 days a week.
I use protein to help build muscle. It does actually help build mass if you're actually doing something with it.
Most people don't need mass amounts of protein. I think a lot of it is just marketing in people and companies jumping on the bandwagon because people see the word protein and immediately think something is healthy.
There are healthy ways to get your protein, and also extremely unhealthy ways to get your protein.
For most people, eating a balanced diet is just as good as eating these gimmick foods.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
I needed something low sugar and the protein would've been a bonus if it didn't have the texture of a yoga mat
Dounce1@reddit
If you needed something low sugar don’t buy candy. It will taste better and most likely be healthier.
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
what was i supposed to buy at a quickies convenience store
PNWKiwi@reddit
Lol. The "texture of a yoga mat" sent me. 😂
I'm not knocking you. I was just saying that a lot of these are a gimmick.
In all honesty, 14 g of protein and only 4 g of sugar is actually pretty solid.
You should look into granola bars. There are a lot of them that are low sugar, and have a lot more benefits.
Plus they don't taste like a yoga mat. 😂
Distinct-Ad-4928@reddit (OP)
quaker granola bars?
PNWKiwi@reddit
Some of them, yes.
Usually most granola bars are going to have benefits and extra vitamins and stuff that come naturally from their ingredients.
Biggest thing is to check the box. They list the ingredients in there.
I personally try to avoid anything that has added sugar, or has sugar that doesn't come from natural sources of the ingredients.
Everybody's body is different though.
What works for one, may not work for another.
Original_Complex429@reddit
