I've only ever eaten a couple of protein bars, I thought they were gross. Beef is better :-)

I lived off those Tiger Milk bars back in the day.

Are you eating any protein supplements now, Scott?

No protein supplements (vitamins and creatine, yes), but I do count the daily protein intake (target 1 gram/kg), so can confirm your hypothesis of cultural protein obsession. Vienna provides great local meats, eggs, and dairy, so can hit the target with the day-to-day. But it’s all the talk on the rides and runs. 😇

Dog's Foot is probably the ingredient that lets David protein bars pack 30g of protein into 150 calories.

I remember eating a PowerBar an hour or two before I had to run "the mile" in gym class, thinking somehow it'd help.

Same! At least your jaw also got a workout from having to chew that rubber-like Powerbar.
