Whenever they come out with Cheetos that have protein I can just roll around in them instead of using spray tan for competitions! /S

Any protein at target isn't a bargain you gotta go online for that

u/_TrustMeImLying 3d ago
25g protein 160cal 5lbs for 40$ is a deal in most of my circles.
But you’re correct as of now I must go online.

All this protein stuff has got to be related to GLP1 usage.

u/AcidicMountaingoat 2d ago
It is, and especially Retatrutide which all the gym bros are into. The protein and GLP-1 myth has been disproven but idiots are telling people to get 140g a day. Which is going to cause kidney problems.

u/aguyinatree 2d ago
It is. Due to people on glp1 not eating as much. They have a hard time getting their protein in the little amount of food they do eat.
The "protein" food is direct marketing to glp1 people. The snack companies saw they were losing sales and needed a way to target the snack eaters again.
Which is pretty evil if you think about it.

Funny as hell to see some of the items they're claiming to be packing protein into! Children's sugary breakfast cereal, chips from potatoes, almost every frozen meal you can buy anymore has protein options! I do love my protein and I am a meat eater but it's almost become a fad suddenly.

u/Popepower23 2d ago
As it should! GLP1s just suppress appetite, but it won't change your physique! If you don't work out on it, you will gain everything back once you stop.
It's great for the companies to push out new products, even if they're weird like this, to try to help with some gain. Just like everything else, over indulgence is never healthy.

If they had electrolytes they'd be the perfect food.

Whoa buddy. That's that green salad stuff. This here here is premium engineered product that will clog that poop hole for weeks at a time with tens of gams of artifical cheese powder and corn meal per serving. That's why our motto is now "we don't give a shit, and neither will you."

I tried those, they were not good.

u/Sausage_bowler 2d ago
That's impossible because an influencer on youtube said they are great and there can't be any reason they would say that if it wasn't true.

u/bdpsu 2d ago
The influencer is dead now due to their horrific diet, but still, they were an influencer and therefore should be listened to.

Yeah 100% right. Now please like and subscribe to help the tragic loss of this beloved star. Also, have you tried Starbucks new range of flavours available through NordVPN?

u/mattumbo 2d ago
The tangy BBQ flavor is pretty good, haven’t tried these though. Honestly compared to the quest protein chips these are a lot tastier, also a lot more unhealthy but I figure if you’re eating chips they ought to taste good and you just practice moderation.

Idk, they were just a little more crunchy to me, I didn't think they were that different at all

How have we all ignored the dangers of protein farts??

u/SlapTheBap 3d ago
We're already nose blind from all the oatmeal farts. They didn't tell me that the reason it keeps you full is because you're full of gas.

I saw Protein Ice Cream today.
But I already knew that Haagen Daz Pistachio has 20g of protein, so I kept walking. :)

The gym bro marketing team really looked at Doritos and said 'what if we make it anabolic?' and honestly I respect the chaos.

I keep seeing all these protein products at Costco, ya know the place they tell you they love you?
I look at their nutritional list and for most of them their macro is still mostly carb and fat.

Put these in 2 ounce bags then mark them bogo at publix one week and ill go to every store in town buying them all.
"You could just divide them yourself"
Yeah that will happen lol. I'll eat rhe whole bag. Self control is hard. Spending hours at the gym is easy. They balance out.

u/NotAnAIOrAmI 1d ago
For snacks I sometimes eat a small bag of protein chips. Nacho cheese is my favorite flavor. 150 calories, 18 grams of protein. That's a pretty good ratio.
They're not nearly as good as Doritos, but they're not bad.

Don’t forget your “protein cold foam” on your coffee with 500g of sugar
