FYI FWIW- protein "snacks"

Just thought I'd share this-

At my last NUT appointment, I mentioned to her that I had occasionally been eating the Quest chips. I know there are other brands out there as well (whisps).

Her reply? "That's fine, but I DO NOT count those towards your daily Protein goal"

Why?

They have been processed in a way that prevent your body from using it like meat, dairy or shakes.

Ok then.

I haven't used this product but in the labeling it states 21 grams of Protein. It also has no sugar. I use Quest Protein Bars and consider them a good product. So therefore I consider Quest a reliable company and I would count Quest chips towards my daily Protein goal. You daily protein requirement is met by a combination of the protein you consume from meals combined with the protein from supplements. This appears to me to be a valid protein supplement.

Don't get me wrong- I use- and count- and was given the "ok" by her- Quest Bars. In fact, they're the only ones I will touch.

My OP was simply about the comment she made- not that it was, in fact, valid. But she's my NUT and in being so, I follow her guidelines.

@@LisaMergs no offense taken. In general I follow the guidelines that were given me, but sometimes I will deviate. It is part of the experimentation approach that I underwent after surgery. Not everything is clearcut and known. So when you delve into the unknown, one has to make judgement calls.
