why does every single food product that mentions it has extra protein on the packaging taste fucking disgusting?
Because for the most part you're buying it to make up for deficiencies not to enjoy as food. Like if you're highly active you probably have some minimum, say 60g per day. And if you have a social life, sometimes it's hard to hit that number without supplements. So you choke down a protein bar after lunch because dosas and chutney don't cut it when it comes to nutrition on recovery daysNow commence seething over protein because some redpill MAGA retard mentioned it and this is literally the first time in your life you've ever thought about nutritiont. fitter than you
>>21990604yeah butthere's gotta be something about those extra protein products they add supplements that makes em taste ash-y and strange as fuckeven the most innocent and usually great tasting stuff if they have protein advertised on the label end up tasting like dogshit
>>21990598I don't know, lil anime friend, but I don't like it either.
>>21990598>Anime picEmbarrassing
>>21990608It doesn't have to be, but if your priority is protein over everything else, compromises will be made. You can sort of do a lazier process and let more byproducts into the end result and it will taste better. There's a brand of protein shake I used to get, that had a lot of the fat and other milk components in it, including lactose. Needless to say it was a niche product because most people don't want to spike their fat consumption or cholesterol or get lactose farts or whatever. But it tasted really good.
>>21990598Extra protein means soy. You are apparently being advertised poison as a benefit.
>>21990598Unironically powdered bugs. Reminder that the EU approved a law last year that food companies can mix in artificial protein in meat products and not requier to inform about it.
>>21990598They probably dump the cheapest possible protein powder into the mix so they can stick the number on the front, because they know that the people buying it for the number are used to compromising on taste.
>>21990639Doubt. Most insects cross react with crustacean allergies, even if they allowed it to be added to food it wouldn't be hidden.
>>21990598Protein itself doesn't always taste great, which is why protein supplements often have a lot of sweeteners and strong flavors. Plus it gives things a weird texture if the protein is replacing starch.
