Arab_Carter Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Tip top just released a new version of their bread with extra protein. Here is the website for more info: http://hi-proteinbread.co.nz/ The lin-seed version has 11.2g per 2 slices, which means a couple of tuna sandwiches would make 56g of protein in one meal. Countdown selling 2 for $5.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countdown selling 2 for $5.50 may be 56g protein but also the gross factor of tuna sandwiches comes into play there lol each to their own Georg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrymundo Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 11grams isn't much, normal bread has 6grams, so the switch is only going increase protein intake by a whooping 5grams which in a high protein diet is sweet F A. Just sounds like marketing, if you're fussed about getting protein from your carb sources why not look at quinoa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Any idea what the other nutritional stats are? If being higher protein also means it's lower carbs, that could be quite an interesting point of difference. Unfortunately Toptip seem to be having trouble with their website - several pages don't work, and the nutritional specs PDF helpfully informs me "This is a test PDF document. If you can read this, you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks for that, Arab_Carter. So it seems the carbs are pretty much on par with normal bread. That being the case, I'm not sure I'd bother with this bread - I suppose it all adds up, but I'm shooting for 250g protein each day anyway, so an extra 5g isn't going to be much help. I'd rather get my protein intake through meat, and then just choose my bread based on taste (ie, Vogels!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaz Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 bit weird to join and plug a product like that with such specific details, do you have an interest? are you mr tip top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arab_Carter Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've been lurking for a while, thought I would contribute. Yeah I was a bit misled by the carbs, I'm still new to this dieting thing. Could be good for bulking, but not cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 All good bro. That's what this forum is here for. There's more and more products now that are jumping on the high-protein bandwagon. That's not a bad thing, but it pays to think critically about just how much extra benefit your getting for your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Wonder what the extra protein source is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Quote How did you get the protein in there? We added plant based protein from oats, soy (and linseed), along with the protein that is already in the bread from wheat. These natural sources contribute to the final protein amount of 10.2g per serve in the oat variant, and 11.2g per serve in the soy and linseed loaf. So it's probably not the greatest in terms of protein quality, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Crap protein source. Won't build muscle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz69 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Generally grain based protein products contain lower ratios of essential amino acids than animal based protein sources... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
