I'm sorry, "high protein cereal"? I'm just imagining a cooked hamburger patty, shredded and drenched with milk. What in the absolute fuck?

    What do these things do anyway? So far I've just been specifically avoiding stuff labeled high protein. I don't know what it should do, but it's probably the marketing before tuning into "low protein" just like high carb craze being followed by low carb.

    As far as I know (and I am not an authority on this matter at all), high protein is a fairly good idea. You need it for muscle growth and repair, and it generally helps to keep you feeling full for a long time.

    HOWEVER... You still need to be eating the other good stuff too. So like boosting a salad with some scoops of high protein cottage cheese? Probably a great idea, and much better than normal dressing. Eating a cereal that's probably mostly carbs with added milk protein? Far less ideal. Using that same cereal as a crunchy booster topping on a yogurt with some fruit? Back to great idea again.
