Are high-protein snacks worth the hype? Here's how to assess
Briefly

Protein is vital for building and repairing muscle, tissues, and for immune system support. In recent years, with the rise of high-protein diets, protein has gained substantial popularity, especially among health influencers. It now dominates snack aisles with many products labeled as high-protein. However, these claims can be misleading, as foods marketed with high-protein labels may still contain significant amounts of sugar or be poor sources of protein. The global protein-snacks market is set to grow significantly, underscoring the trend of protein-centric consumption.
