Stop letting “healthy” marketing trick your diet 🛑👇
Don’t get me wrong—there are plenty of great protein bars out there for quick, convenient nutrition. But if you’re craving nuggets, they may not be as bad for your goals as you think!
Just because a snack has “PROTEIN” slapped on the front doesn’t mean it wins on protein density:
📊 Protein per Calorie Breakdown:
🐔 6x Chicken Nuggets: 0.056g protein/kcal (12.9g protein | 229 kcal)
🍪 Lenny & Larry’s Cookie: 0.038g protein/kcal (16g protein | 420 kcal)
🌾 Uncle Tobys Bar: 0.050g protein/kcal (7g protein | 140 kcal)
🥜 coles Protein Bar: 0.053g protein/kcal (10g protein | 189 kcal)
Per calorie, the nuggets beat out every single one of these options.
