Tbh as someone who eats pop tarts often itās a decent upgrade for me because I hate those fake protein pop tarts with a passion.
HOWEVER I think Iām like the only person theyre marketing to with these lol, bc Iām the only person I know other than my family whose watching weight + eats pop tarts

Tbf Iāve seen lots of products slap on theāproteinā labels when itās just 10g per serving. I suppose they are more protein than theyād otherwise be

the protein obsession is just the current keto, south beach, organic, cabbage soup, low/non fat, master cleanse, paleo, gluten free, etc. it sucks that health is a constant evolving trend so the general population never actually knows what is a genuine healthy diet for themselves

I bought these because they were on sale but yeah, almost 400 calories for 10g of protein is a high price.

Better macros than normal pop tarts, and tasty.

Protein labels are a gimmick.Ā
Id rather see Fiber labelsĀ

At this point I’ll eat 1 pop tart and a chicken breast. About 100 less for about 30 more

Considering their 10 more calories than the regular ones and have 10 g of protein compared to three I feel like thatās a nice option

They are marketing these to people who are trying to boost protein, not as a weight loss or low calorie option. Protein is a nutrition fad, just like the last 27 fads. “Fat free”, “sugar free”, “antioxidants”, “gluten free” etc

Lmfao I joked about these existing like a year ago when this whole protein craze started getting out of control and here they are. I imagine they taste good still and not bad for someone already eating pop tarts dailyā¦ but yeah, itās just a funny product. Theyāll throw protein on the front of any box these day to make people think theyāre āhealthyā lol.
I thought keto was bad, but the obsession with protein is arguably the worst fad Iāve seen at this point š

Eat 1 pastry with a Fairlife protein shake, 350 cals and 35 grams protein or so, super tasty brekkist on the go.
But yeahā¦this is a food that has a little added protein, itās not a protein food.
If 1200 cals is your goal and you eat this regularly youāll likely be hungry a lot of the time.

Welcome to marketing.

My fav scam is the protein bagels. Legit the same amount of protein as normal bagels

Protein is the new āOrganicā
carbonatedeggwater
Unhealthy food trying to market itself as healthy food. Just bc they added 7 grams of fiber. My younger self would have fallen for it, probably.

I mean… if you’re trying to stay at 1200 cals per day then I get it but since Ive moved into bulking up these don’t look that horrible for a once in a while treat š
