   > You can get that from a normal fucking milkshake with peanut butter "ohh no but sugar bad" it's fine if you use it.
   
   That's at least an order of magnitude more sugar. See attached.
   
   Also, peanut protein is relatively low-quality. (Not to be confused with pea protein.)
   
   If you're having milkshakes with peanut butter instead of a protein shake because you think it's healthier, sorry, that's just stupid. It won't be cheaper, either.
   
   > If y'want protein eat a fucking steak is all I'm saying.
   
   Sure, let's just eat steak every day. Makes total sense.
   
   > Eat good and well without this "health optimized" bullshit. It's just marketing.
   
   All of my information comes from science, not marketing. I categorically disregard all marketing claims and actively avoid advertisement in my life as much as humanly possible.
   
   > Also, throwing a bunch of things in a wok on medium heat isn't meticulous planning. It's super fucking easy to eat well, apparently.
   
   And how much protein is in those "bunch of things" you throw into the wok? If you count it, and find that you reach your protein goals for the day in that way, good for you! If you don't, there's always the possibility of supplementing with protein powder.
   
   > You're the one telling me to worry, isn't that the whole point of buying these powders 🤷? To avoid the "evil" sugars?
   
   Other people in the thread were complaining about sugars in the protein powder, but I see you didn't do that. My bad for misattributing that to you.
   
   > My only argument is that it's not "better" than the top half of the meme. They're both subpar compared to homemade food made with sensibility.
   
   That's wrong though. Protein powder is not a junk food. It's a perfectly good way of increasing your protein intake, on par with eating more meat.
   
   In fact, depending on what meat you get and how you prepare it, you may end up consuming a lot more unhealthy stuff than if you simply mixed some protein powder with oat milk or something. Like too much saturated fat, too much salt, and so on. (I'm not actually up to date on the health effects of high salt so feel free to disregard that if you think it's wrong.)
   
   Of course, you wanna get carbs and good fats from somewhere. What I'm saying is, insofar only the protein is concerned, a protein powder is a very good and quite cheap way to get some more of it than your regular meals may provide.
