Are protein cookies a good source of protein?

While this particular brand does contain pea protein, which is a complete source of protein, the amount of calories you have to consume per gram of protein in this product makes this NOT worth it.

So much so that you might as well just eat a regular cookie which is just as highly processed (but 10x as tasty).

So are protein cookies really worth it or should you just satisfy your cravings with a regular cookie? Here’s the breakdown:

While the front of the package claims that you can get 16g of protein you’d have to consume a whopping 440 calories. In fact, on the back of the packaging, the nutrition facts state that one serving is just ½ a cookie, not a whole one, which comes out to just 8g of protein.

Alternatively, you could eat a couple bites of a regular cookie alongside some flavored greek yogurt which would get you just as much protein (if not more) for a fraction of the calories.

It’s just simple math y’all. 🤓

In short, don’t torture yourself. Satisfy your craving with a balanced snack, and eat the dang cookie!
