Protein Pal Analysis
Protein Source
Where the 28g of protein comes from, largest contributor first
Complete protein. Roughly 80% casein and 20% whey, so it digests slower than whey alone.
Incomplete protein. No tryptophan and very little leucine, so it counts toward the label's protein but contributes little to muscle.
Complete protein, fast absorbing. The least processed whey, with more lactose and fat than isolate.
Complete protein with no lactose and almost no fat.
Defatted peanuts, roughly half protein by weight. Low in methionine.
Also Contains
Sugar Alcohols
- Maltitol
A sugar alcohol that does raise blood glucose, with a glycaemic index around 35 where most polyols are near zero. It is the usual cause of the digestive complaints from protein bars: bloating, gas and a laxative effect, typically above roughly 30 to 40g a day.
Livesey, Nutrition Research Reviews (2003) - Glycerin
Chemically a sugar alcohol, used to keep bars soft and moist rather than to sweeten. The EU safety authority found no safety concern at food levels. Large amounts can draw water into the gut and have a laxative effect.
EFSA re-evaluation of glycerol E422 (2017)
Rare Sugars
- Allulose
A rare sugar the body absorbs but barely metabolises, contributing about 0.4 calories per gram with little effect on blood glucose. The FDA allows it to be left out of the sugar lines on the label, so a product can contain allulose and still state 0g sugar. It is counted inside total carbohydrate.
FDA guidance on the declaration of allulose (2020)
Fat Substitutes
- Modified Plant Fat [EPG]
A fat substitute made from rapeseed oil modified so digestive enzymes cannot break it down, so around 92 percent passes through unabsorbed and contributes almost no calories. The FDA accepted it as GRAS and human studies found it well tolerated at typical intakes, but it has only been in foods since 2019 so there is no long-term data. Large amounts can loosen digestion because the unabsorbed fat stays in the gut.
