A guy shared one of his protein bars with me during basic. Felt like I was eating chalk pasted and probably tasted like it too. Checking the ingredients it was some pea protein and onions protein mix. Overpriced and nutritiously void, just a way for gym consoomers and fat hogs to justify eating candy. You can make your own for dirt cheap and with a way better protein to calorie ratio
>justify eating candy
You just said it tasted awful. Most of them do, and contain like 3-5g of sugar at most, or none at all. You're eating it for the 25g of protein, not pleasure. Are you a moron? The answer is yes,
Old school chalk bars were based. They were so disgusting you'd only have them as a last resort, which is the point of a proton bar. Like, you'd rather eat cold Polish sausage straight out of the package than a chalk bar.
>it's just candy
it's ice cream with a candy stirred in and a candy exterior.
the real question is what could go wrong bulking on them? They probably still have some protein
If you want to eat sweets, get some fricking sweets. Protein bars are a fricking scam. They're a more expensive, more chemical-filled version of chocolate with some diarrhea powder whey mixed in.
You guys have no idea how bad the average person's knowledge of health and fitness actually is. We exist in a bubble here on IST where most people have at least a basic understanding of the fundamentals of fitness and we take that knowledge for granted. Protein bars exist to be sold to clueless fatasses who understand protein = muscles and nothing else. They're supposed to be candy bars because the target audience wants to eat candy while feeling like they made a healthy decision. That's literally it. I've had coworkers who genuinely believed they would get jacked by eating protein chocolate bars, drinking protein chocolate milk, and going for a 10 minute jog one a week.
It's candy with less sugar (sometimes none at all) and more brotein, what's not to like? I've swapped all my donut/candy/cake/cookies/etc cravings for brotein bars and it has worked out great. I also started making my own bars that are just >whey >oats >peanut butter >cinnamon >water >bake > fridge > slice into bars
And they're good af.
That's all down to your choice of bar or what you put in your bar m8. Also if you're using it as a replacement for shit like donuts, snickers, cakes, etc like me then you aren't any worse off in those regards anyways.

I'm israeli and I don't have time to be cooking granola. I buy mine from the store.
Where else would you buy it from
A small makeshift "sustainable living community" on the outskirts of town staffed by a 38 year old yoga mom with dreadlocks and herpes
>I'm israeli and I don't have time to be cooking granola
Granola is piss easy to make and takes 35 minutes, 30 of which is baking time

Obviously not that bar in particular but newer bars are just protein-blasted candy.

Well yeah, it's candy that gives me protein. That's why I like it.

Those bars always give me diharea and taste like chemicals.
It turns into poop, you are creating more poop.

You asked a question I gave an answer
And I provided some additional insight to your answer.
I didnt ask
I gave it anyways
Congratulations
Thank you
Literally nothing wrong with anything you listed and the protein isn't low quality.
Literally nothing you just said is true
No I'm a scientist
who cares when CICO exists ?
