I came across this today and gave it a try. It gave me an obscene (meaning way more Protein than I could consume in a day) Protein recommendation.

I feel like nutrition recommendations from a commercial Cereal company can safely be disregarded. Lol. Its Kashi, not John Hopkins University lol.

Indeed! By no means was I considering it the be all and end all of Protein recommendations. I guess I was just more shocked by the number it calculated.

Its that kind of pandering that has gotten our society into this whole poor health epidemic in the first place. Which the "healthcare" and pharmaceutical companies enjoy financially in spades.
