Eating a lot of protein is a good thing, especially if you're lifting weights and want to see results from that.
Eating a lot of highly processed protein is not. Just because ultra-processed foods have protein in them doesn't make them less unhealthy. Eat chicken breasts, skyr, tofu, eggs - not candy bars, ice cream and other junk that happens to have protein in it.
- etrautmann 2y agoIs there any evidence that a protein bar is lower quality protein for you than yogurt? Aside from the added sugars etc, the protein should be similar?
- cruzcampo 2y agoIt's not the protein itself you need to worry about. It's the processing on the entire bar - see here for a study: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/pdf/S1550-4131(19)30248-7.pdf https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/pdf/S1550-4131(19)30248...
