New High Protein Bread

[Arab_Carter]

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

may be 56g protein but also the gross factor of tuna sandwiches comes into play there lol

each to their own

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?

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."

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!)

bit weird to join and plug a product like that with such specific details, do you have an interest?

are you mr tip top?

[Arab_Carter]

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

[Pseudonym]

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.

Wonder what the extra protein source is

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.

Crap protein source. Won't build muscle.

Generally grain based protein products contain lower ratios of essential amino acids than animal based protein sources...
