📰 Why the Protein‑Snack Hype May Be Hurting You More Than Helping

From fitness-fads to protein in everything—even beer!

Every snack today—from popcorn 🍿 to lassi to ice cream —now screams “protein‑fortified” Even a protein beer is in the market, with 5 g protein and 0.5% alcohol Experts call this a marketing overkill Where’s the logic in putting protein in everything just for trend?

Indian guidelines show we need way less

According to health bodies in India 🇮🇳, a healthy adult only needs 0.88 g of protein per kg of bodyweight daily That means a 60 kg person only needs ~53 grams a day And most of us already get that through dal roti 🫓 sabzi 🥦 and milk 🥛 No need for fancy powders or protein chips bro

Risks of overdoing it with protein

Too much protein can lead to:

• Kidney damage  especially if you're not drinking enough water

• Heart issues  from excess animal protein and supplement misuse

• Tummy problems  like bloating, constipation and gas

• Weight imbalance 🧍🏽‍♂️ and even dehydration Docs say 80% of protein must come from regular food—not those colorful tins and bars

The myth of “more is better”

Too much of anything is bad! Over 35% of your daily calories from protein can give you protein poisoning  Symptoms include nausea mood swings low BP and fatigue Experts say keep protein intake under 2 g/kg of body weight and stick to natural sources 

💡 Smart Snacking: Focus on Balance, Not Hype 😇

1. Choose whole foods—boiled eggs paneer yogurt nuts and pulses are best for protein

2. Stay within 10–25 g per snack  That’s enough to fill your belly and fuel your body

3. Balance your plate—don’t ignore carbs and fats else your body won’t function well

4. Don’t fall for labels—just because it says "Protein Rich" doesn’t mean it’s healthy A protein bar without fibre or good fats is like chai without sugar
