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.

We just got it because one person in the house has Celiac disease, and it was supposed to be good for people with that.
