Cookie + Protein

[snake]

I know most of us are ahead of the curve on macro nutrition and tend to check before buying anything. The other day the wife came home with these. She know's I am always looking for a decent protein source. Like most people, she saw the 24 grams of protein and that's good right? Well look closer; serving size is 1/2 a cookie. These cookies are about 4" across and somewhat thick but 1/2 a cookie? Is 1/2 a cookie even possible? That's like digging half a hole!

Total protein is 24 grams but the calories for "1/2 a cookie" is 250 cals with 13 grams of fat; 26 grams of fat per cookie. AT 500 calories per cookie with that much fat, oh fuuk no! My young pups need some extra cals put on them so these won't go to waste. They were cheap buy at some discount store; $5 for a box of 12.

Side note: "Vegan" If you ever wanted to know how you get a fat vegan, this is a good start. Wash it down with a Coke.

and 28 grams sugar to boot. a lot of these "protein" snacks are very misleading

First....I bet that thing is delicious!

If you're looking for a lower calories/ more nutritious one, Quest makes a cookie that tastes good and has 250 calories.

15g PROTEIN
4g NET CARBS
<1g SUGAR
9g FIBER

We refer to all protein bars in our house as bodybuilding shit snacks.

I’ve yet to see a single cookie or bar that even comes close to being useful. The sugar alcohols do a number on my stomach..

DK’s looks alright..

Grenade peanut butter carb killa protein bars

Random thought... pre-packaged foods meant for the fitness should have the three main macros clearly called out in little boxes like protein is in Snakes photos.

Protein Fats Carbs
14g. 140g. 5g

And serving size should be... Whole Package.

We eat the whole damn thing anyway.

Have you guys tried the combat crunch bars? pretty legit
20g protein, 210 calories, 24g low active carbs, only 5 grams of sugar and the peanut butter ones taste great

RX bars are around 12g protien, 23g carbs and 9h fat. They are pretty decent.

I used to microwave quest bars and then throw them in a blender with eggwhites and a banana.

I got very fat.

I eat the prepackaged bodybuilding food, but do it for convenience. No matter what it is or what brand I never feel great afterwards. Just different degrees of “bad”

What kind of pre-packaged food here Mate? One of those meal plan arrangements where they ship ye the meals in dry ice? I've always been curious as they seem convenient but a bit spendy.

I was speaking more about bars, shakes, protein snacks and the like. I have heard about those services you are talking about. Looks like “real” food, but someone else is doing the cooking and putting it in Tupperware. Haven’t tried those, but yeah they seem pricey.

I think its a fancy way of saying slow carb like brown rice, they are kinda like crunch bars with rice bits in it.

Okay, I tried one of these cookies and couldn't get down with 16 oz of milk. Both dogs wouldn't even eat them and they like their ass. It's now going to the pigs and recycled into bacon.
