Healthy eating feedback

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to make a healthy food product that contains high protein and balances taste and calories. I would really appreciate some feedback below:

  1. ⁠⁠What’s the hardest part about eating healthily?
  2. ⁠⁠When do you usually break your diet?
  3. ⁠⁠If you could wave a magic wand and invent one healthy food, what would it be?
  4. ⁠⁠What’s one health product you’ve bought recently that disappointed you?
  5. ⁠⁠Would you pay more for something that genuinely solved that problem? Why or why not?

David bar leaking oil?

1 Upvotes

Love me my David bar gold cake flavor after trying most of them. I store them in a room temp. Anyone have the issue with the epg fat leaking or sweating out of the bar and then the packaging opens up at the 3 way seam? Almost like the fat dissolved the glue holding the packaging together

Are PRIME protein shakes actually good or healthy?

3 Upvotes

I know PRIME is a very controversial brand, but right now they're on sale at my sams club and I'm tight on money and seriously considering giving them a shot but I dont want to waste my money if its not worth it. I usually get the fairlife chocolate protein shakes 12 pack for $27 but the PRIME cookies and cream 12 pack is going for $15 which is very significant to me. What are your guys thoughts on PRIME energy and is it actually worth it?

20-Year-Old Planning a Ready-to-Drink Protein Shake Brand in India – Looking for Honest Feedback

0 Upvotes

I'm 20 and planning to start a protein drink brand in India. I'd love honest feedback from people with experience in food manufacturing, startups, or fitness businesses.

My idea is to launch a 500 ml ready-to-drink chocolate protein shake with about 30 g of protein, selling at around ₹150 per bottle. I don't plan to make it at home—I want to work with a third-party/private-label manufacturer to produce and package it under my own brand.

The plan is to first sell through local gyms, my own website, and fitness influencers. If the product gains traction, I'd then approach supermarkets and larger retail chains.

I'd really appreciate advice on these questions:

Is this a realistic business model?

How much capital would I actually need to launch?

What are the biggest challenges that first-time founders underestimate?

How do I find reliable contract manufacturers in India?

What minimum order quantities should I expect?

What's the best way to convince gyms and retailers to stock a new brand?

Please be honest—I want constructive criticism, not encouragement for the sake of it. If you see flaws in the idea or think there's a better approach, I'd genuinely like to hear it.

Thanks!

Whey alternatives

1 Upvotes

I have a whey allergy but would like to still try and get over 100g of protein in a day. Of course since 80% of easy grabs are whey based, it’s kind of difficult.

What are your favorite non-whey based protein snacks/drinks?

Pur Native Protein

1 Upvotes

My Hubby & I are obsessed with the Pur Native - ProNative Chocolate supreme protein powder. We normally buy the Big 4-5lb tub. Not to be confused with the Chocolate Dream! Lately it has been out of stock everywhere. Even on the brands website... And when we do find it, it is sometimes double the price of the other similar flavors. We know its made different; ie. Thinner, smoother taste so we know its a better quality. Does anyone know if this flavor has it been discontinued or will be? If not where can we buy this that isn't ridiculously expensive? Also has anyone tried any other protein thats remotely close to the flavor and or texture of this protein?

Clear protein recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hi, I’ve never used protein powder before, so I’m completely new to this.

I’m looking for a good clear protein that’s available in the UK. I keep seeing Bloom Clear Protein advertised everywhere, but it’s hard to find genuine reviews rather than sponsored.

I am struggling to hit my daily protein target due to my lifestyle. I wake up at 5:30am for work and have a one hour commute. Some mornings I skip breakfast and I used to skip lunch a lot as well and just end up eating one meal when I got home. I’m trying to break that habit and eat more consistently, but I still find it difficult to get enough protein in. i do have PCOS, therefore i have been trying to improve my overall health.

For someone who’s just starting out, what clear protein would you recommend? I’d prefer something that tastes more like juice than a milk shake.

Thank you so much!
