Protein is EVERYWHERE on food labels & What this means for us as consumers

High protein is now the #1 front-of-package claim on new food products — overtaking low fat for the first time in history. But more protein on the label doesn't always mean a better food. In this episode, Kaitlin breaks down what's actually driving the protein movement (a billion-dollar acquisition and a lawsuit you probably haven't heard about), how to spot misleading protein marketing, and the single best on-the-go protein snack that most people aren't reaching for.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why "high protein" just surpassed "low fat" as the #1 food label claim — and what it signals about your buying power (01:46)
• The GLP-1 connection: how the rise of weight loss peptides is spiking protein demand and what that means for your goals (05:30)
• How Quest Nutrition built a billion-dollar company by going all-in on protein — and what that tells us about the market (07:30)
• The Cheerios Protein lawsuit: how a brand doubled serving size, added 17x more sugar than the original, and still called it "high protein" (11:52)
• Why soy and whey protein additives in processed foods can cause inflammation — and a simple swap that gives you control over quality (09:38)
• The 80/20 rule applied to protein: why a food can be high protein and still be a processed food (17:06)
• Kaitlin's go-to protein snack that beats any protein bar on the shelf — and why animal-source protein is more bioavailable than plant-based (18:39)

Walk away knowing exactly what "high protein" is actually worth on a label — and what to grab instead.
