Was literally screaming "NOOOO, EGGS ARE NOT DIARY"😂Appreciate how you didn't cut that part

[JA]

Why does everyone think eggs are dairy? I told my 70 year old mom this and she was so confused and didn't believe me that eggs are NOT dairy.

[haileydawn]

I have never heard of someone thinking eggs were dairy lol

[louise]

the BEST protein bars are NuGo brand, nobody talks about them - they are sold at whole foods and other speciality stores but the chocolate raspberry truffle one is so delicious, it uses real dark chocolate, it's crunchy, no protein flavor really. They have 16-18g of protein depending on the bar, like 160 calories i think, around 6g fiber and only like 3 g added sugar

[restamper]

Clif bars are meant to be an energy bar for things like hiking/running/biking. You want the added sugar

[zoelu]

In defense of added sugar, some of us are sensitive to sugar substitutes - bars with only sugar substitutes are inedible to me!
Also imo protein bars, energy bars, and treats that happen to have some protein in them are 3 different concepts.

13:15 No, don't look for "plant-based, " tons of processed foods are labelled plant-based but they still contain dairy or eggs. Plant-based is a meaningless marketing term. You just have to check the ingredients list. Typically, anything that is an allergen (milk, eggs, wheat, soy, etc.) will be listed in bold text at the end of the label.

[Thesparten]

😭😭😭Gurlieeee, what did you think the definition of dairy was??😭 It just means made of/with milk. The reason eggs are in the dairy section, is because eggs in the US are washed, which strips them of their natural protective coating which then results in them requiring to be refrigerated. So instead of making an entirely new fridge section, they just stick em in the dairy section.

[Gabzilla]

“I don’t know why it’s soaking wet” is not the description I’d be expecting from a protein bar 😂😂😂

[Shadeadder]

Merle, I don't think eggs are ever considered "dairy" 😂 They're in the dairy section of the grocery store but I don't think anyone actually considers them a dairy product. At least, I've never met anyone who thought that!

[maryannemalandrinos]

As a very active person I think its good to consider that people's diets vary substantially. While more sedentary people may want to omit added sugars and embrace fat, I look for bars with a good amount of sugar and a reasonable amount of protein. Clif bars are great for energy and recovery if you're super active (hiking, running, cycling, etc) which is why they're advertised as energy bars and not protein bars!

[wjtrack]

A common marketing technique is to make your serving sizes smaller on the nutrition label so the total sugar or fat content looks more appealing from a nutrition standpoint, but since they want to market higher protein, the protein content for a whole bar or cookie is what is highlighted on the package label.

Please make a part 2 with the new vegan Barebells flavor, NuGo vegan bars, and TruBar! I would love to hear your thoughts, and thank you for this video :)

[marystestkitchen]

Your sacrifice will never be forgotten 😔

[Lttlefot]

I can’t eat the top 2 picks because they have sugar alchohols and are high FODMAP. GoMacro bars are great, especially if you have digestive sensitivities. I like the texture, like Caramel almost. They’re NOT usually ‘wet’… not sure how that happened to yours. Also I do wish they had more protein but I’m just glad there’s something I can eat that isn’t hurting my insides. Most of them don’t taste like burnt popcorn. The added sugar is ok for me because I use them on my Long work days where I’m on my feet all day or I’m hiking or walking

[Melissa.Williams]

The Barebell tastes like a Ferrero Rocher mixed with a Three Musketeers but with protein and less sugar. S tier for sure!

[kimberlywhidden]

I agree with you 100%! It should be illegal to say one cookie is two servings, even if it is a huge cookie!

[jourdanhamme]

Merle's next video needs to be making homemade vegan protein bars <3

[danielj]

The reason (I think) so many people think eggs are dairy is because A LOT of grocery stores have them in the dairy section!! They get stored next to each other but “dairy” is just milk stuff.

[crystal]

The nugo bars are my go to, the mint chocolate chip and the pretzel are so so good.
