- ars 13y ago> Protein, no matter what the source, unfortunately doesn't taste great Um, meat? Unless you mean sweet protein in which case I agree.
- mesozoic 13y agoUsually it's the fat in the meat that makes it taste good.
- fragsworth 13y agoI mean protein by itself (without fats or sugars) Even meat protein kinda sucks if you cook all the fat out of it.
- rdl 13y agoWhat's the problem with protein/fat bars? Rancidity? There are fats (possibly not those found next to meat) which can be more shelf-stable; I wonder if you could use those fats, protein, and chemicals extracted from the tasty fat to have the right stability, taste, and nutrition profile. But that would be "evil food science" so people wouldn't think it was "healthy" I guess.

- harshreality 13y agoIn my experience, at least on the low-sugar side, it tastes good once you get used to it. Eat a low-sugar diet for a few weeks and not only does it start to taste fine, but if you eat something with lots of added sugar, it tastes sickeningly sweet.

- tome 13y agoEgg white tastes fine (cooked).
