Food & Drink has the protein craze gone overboard?

[lsa]

So has the protein craze gone overboard?
and be honest what weird protein combo do you eat /drink/inject ?

"Apparently protein shakes and protein bars don’t cut it anymore. Americans are so obsessed with protein that even an Arnold Palmer comes infused with it. Perhaps protein iced tea was inevitable. Whenever something is trendy, the food industry can’t help but push things to the extreme—consider “plant-based” peanut butter (as if the spread was not already vegetarian) and gluten-free pumpkin dog biscuits. But even compared with other food trends, the protein situation has gotten out of hand. Just last week, Starbucks announced that it’s piloting a high-protein, banana-flavored cold foam. There is protein water, Kardashian-branded protein popcorn, and “macho” protein pasta sauce. If you want to get drunk while bulking up, consider a protein-fortified pale ale or a “Swoleberry” spiked protein seltzer. Nothing is safe from the protein pandemonium. Name a food, and the protein version of it probably exists."

The Protein Madness Is Just Getting Started

Americans are taking their obsession with supplements to new extremes.

I agree. It has. People will try whatever fad diet craze comes around but usually ignore the important part of getting off their ass and doing something to change their physical state.

Also props for posting the Suge Knight of cats.

It's pretty simple, some people think the protein label makes something healthy. So they sell protein whatever filled with sugar and other shit but people use protein as an excuse to eat it and not acknowledge what it is.

For anyone serious about their health or fitness, they're going to be looking at a lot more on the package than the protein number.

I dunno... I did just finish a double choc protein cookie though.

years and years ago back in the dark ages, Oprah did a test at a shopping center advertising a new diet on hotdogs and ice cream and people jumped on it.
She then interview them on WHY!?!?!?

I need to consume around 220 grams of protein a day. I live off the protein junk. That crappy core power protein drink is a good way to consume a lot of protein for low calories.

I get pretty disgusting with protein powders. I will mix it with coffee. I do look at protein powders to see if they aren’t amino spiking it.

Yes, it has gone overboard. Too much protein can cause health issues to your kidneys, digestive system, heart, and has side effects like kidney stones, diarrhea and constipation. Eat a healthy diet and stay away from powders and protein infused crap.

Thanks Mr Bro Science.

Too much what type of protein?
What is too much?
It's bloody difficult to get "enough" protein for optimum athletic performance.
Getting too much is hard work.

A powder isn't inherantly crap.
