1. It's always quantity over quality.2. The metabolic rate of protein source is never considered. 3. It's always processed slop that's recommended. 4. The quantity range is always well beyond the point diminishing returns for building muscles.5. Excess of protein is converted into sugar (gluconeogenesis).
>>77175502Those drinks have their use. I work 12+ hour shifts and they're nice to take to work with. My lunch is usually: Sardines, rye bread and two of those protein "drinks". Everything has their uses, people just like to whine and bitch about everything like women.
>>77175502i wouldn't call it a scam, just that companies realized that high protein products will sell because people lately believe that they need to eat like 200g+ of protein daily
>>77175502Normal people have been proteinmaxxing for decades now Do any of them look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or do they all look like normal people? The next trend is probably going to be a return to form. Old recipes from vintage cookbooks, baking bread from unbleached, unfortified flour, etc. The word is already out on vital wheat gluten, so I expect that to suddenly get expensive as fuck to buy in bulk. My logic is that I think first we had homecooks trying to emulate pro chefs, then now homecooks trying to achieve utilitarian hyper-ideal onions green minmax foods, etc. If 80g protein drinks are showing up in stores then I think the appetite for it is waning. Now that homecooking trends have separated from anything that might humanize it, the next place to go that's interesting is to devolve. Nutrition focused questions won't factor in as hard, people will probably be less anal about calories, etc. It will come back into people's lives in a simple way like, >wow, spreading room temperature salted butter on the toast that I baked is actually really tastyNew appliances on the scene that make home cooking more convenient are probably also helping, especially air fryers.
>>77175502Oh boy, it's this thinly veiled advertisement again.
>>77175502just get cottage cheese, or curd cheesepic related is like 37g of protein
>>77175729pic related*
>>77175502These are a life saver for anyone wishing to make any gains with busy schedules.>1. It's always quantity over quality.It's both, these protein drinks are all milk protein based and milk protein is pretty much the best protein there is.>2. The metabolic rate of protein source is never considered.We know the digestion and aborption rates of milk protein already.>3. It's always processed slop that's recommended.It's easier to prepare and consume, milk protein quality is very consistent regardless of the process used to extract it from its food source, only very long post-expiration date shelf life seems to degrade it.>4. The quantity range is always well beyond the point diminishing returns for building muscles.No one is forcing people to consume 3 of these a day, it's only there as the most convenient way of getting protein, incredibly important for people on a diet.>5. Excess of protein is converted into sugar (gluconeogenesis).Not a problem in itself since the process is incredibly inefficient and limited in magnitude.>>77175729Cottage cheese tastes horrible and in most countries costs more per gram of protein provided than those protein rich drinks.
>>77175750>Cottage cheese tastes horrible and in most countries costs more per gram of protein provided than those protein rich drinks.I personally refer the taste over all those milk based drinks with sweeteners and artificial flavoring. As for the cost per gram, sorry bro. I did not know you were on a budget.I drink kefir (not to be mistaken with kefir based drink)after workout. It's 34g of protein per liter. It costs me £2.If milk based protein is not an option for you, then maybe go with peanut butter (just get the 100% one).also eggs (I get mine for free)
>>77175750What about pure whey powder with no addes shit?
>>77175766How about you just eat some real food? Chicken, Beef, Eggs, Milk, Sardines, ect.You don't need processed slop, you don't need perfectly processed protein powders, just eat real food.
>>77175780Whey is food, it's in the milk left after making cheese, retard.
>>77175851Virtually nobody buys pure whey protein. I buy some concoction of artificial sweeteners, thickeners, and flavors combined with whey protein, And they use it as a protein supplement.
>>77175502It's slop
whats up with these nasty bottle forms being shilled lately? what happened to the tetrapak
>>77176090
>>77176094Its astroturfing. The picture in OP has been spammed so many times it's unreal. And I don't understand how people honestly believe that it's anywhere near cost effective or realistic to think that you're getting 84 grams of protein for one pound. It's economically impossible.
>>77175502Yes. You don't need as much protein as you think, and the push for specific types of protein because it's more "efficient" is a meme. Carbs are equally important, if not more important than protein.
>>77175766This tastes terrible on its own. High protein milk is much better or choccy for a treat
>>77175729>yeah bro hold up just let me uhhh.... eat a whole block of curd cheese
>>77176513You've never tracked macros or calories, have you? That's like a single cup of cottage cheese.
>>77175502Bear in mind that picrel is like a litre bottle at least. A portion will be like 20g of protein. You guys are fucking dumb
>>77176519>yeah bro hold up just let me uhhhh.... eat almost a whole block of curd cheese
>>77176546Fix your bot
>>77176568don't cry curdchud
>>77176594Sorry you're so upset
>>77176519A FUCKING LITER ONE POUNDWHAAAAAAAAAAAAATI'm running to fucking lidl first thing in the morning bru
>>77176599Ok
>>77175502It's better to have it and not need it than the alternative but yes it's almost all simultaneously true.There are a lot of gym/fitness larpers you know the kind women and men who wear gym clothing everywhere now.There are a lot of people on glp-1s and peds.There are a lot of people who are paranoid to a fault about losing gains because they're natty+poor+have an otherwise shit dietThere is a lot of yuppies who only eat take-out. It is an absolute storm of people wanting similar things for mostly the reasons of convenience, delusion and because of targeted marketing in fitness tracking apps, podcasts and other media these people imbibe. The corporate world has successfully convinced these people that making soup is beyond their budget, ability and nutritional requirements so they go for this.Money is almost intangible to the normie mind beyond what the total is at check out. They don't see it as week to week month to month or grams of protein/$ so they'll likely keep buying this stuff as long as it doesn't break $4 an item.
>>77175502I've slimmed down a little going from the usual big shake everyday and all to less but high quality protein but I've never felt better otherwise. All that processed protein shit can't be good for you
>>77176597You can stop crying
