You probably ate something today with high protein printed across the front of it, and there is a good chance it did almost nothing for your skeletal muscle. There is no meaningful enforcement standard for what the front of a package is allowed to promise, and the research points to a per meal threshold most of these products do not come close to touching. Here is the number, the five myths that have to come off the table first, and how to read any label in about five seconds.
