This. The actual tool is dead simple, just a plastic bar with a magnet and a couple of little plastic nubbins to help line it up in the right place.
…It’s also only $15 on Amazon, so it should pay for itself pretty quickly

If you ate protein bars you could just smash them open with your hands, at least that’s how I understand protein works 🤔

Ya and you can easily buy the tool for them on eBay or a normal strong magnet if you know it’s needed.
istdaslol@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I think LPL has a video in these. All you need is a strong magnet to operate the latching mechanism from the outside

Veedem@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The actual tool uses two magnets to unlock the mechanism and allow you to slide the tab.
On the wider ones, the heel of your shoe to the center top of the clear plastic will cause it to bow and open up.

Are they really that expensive?
0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I imagine it has more to do with money density, e.g. dollars per cubic inch. If you sold gold bars, making them huge limits the amount that someone can sneak out under their trenchcoat.

1 oz(28g) of whole, shelled peanuts is 7g of protein.
The best way to open those cases is to return them to the shelf and let someone else buy them.SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago

Most optimal would be a hammer but anything from dropping onto ground to using your teeth.
ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.ca 2 weeks ago
Yeah. You take a group of like minded individuals. You raid the grocery store together and grab all kinds of food, including the protein bars. You give away the food to a food bank and keep a few bars as a reward. Then you take a hammer and smash the boxes.

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
The best thing about this protein craze is almost everyone gets enough anyways and the body excretes excess protein so the cheapest and easiest way to get extra protein is to drink a gymbro’s piss.

I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.
This may be a vegan-specific problem.
jumponboard@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s not a vegan problem. It’s a food selection problem.
I’m vegan and I eat plenty of protein. More than most non vegans

alekwithak@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Only the nitrogen is excreted. The body converts the rest into glucose then fat. So the excess protein in everything is literally making us fatter and more unhealthy!
architect@thelemmy.club 2 weeks ago
If you’re older this is not true. Near all of the older people i know need protein supplemented.
Apytele@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
🤣 I do it to keep weight on so what puzzles me is people who drink protein drinks to lose weight. My diet plan is pretty simple (it’s just a basic hierarchy of choices):
I usually don’t even get past #2 and very rarely past 3.
Damarus@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Protein makes you sated much more quickly than carbs, so a protein rich diet compliments losing weight.
LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Nobody should be drinking those to lose weight, because weight lifting to the point of needing extra protein is very much a way to gain mass, and doing both at once(gain mass and slim up) is extremely hard. Weight lifting being the most obvious way someone might actually need extra protein.
Other exercise, outside of extreme situations, doesn’t need extra-high protein intake, so it’s just excessive. Especially for lower intensity exercise that someone looking to slim up should be doing more of.
Also with how much extra junk a lot of those protein powders/bars/etc come with, it’s just ill advised. Sugar, cholesterol, carbs, etc. Some are really bad choices in general.
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
My doc says I need to build muscle mass to fix my shoulder and protein helps so I’m one of the few who needs it and I don’t really buy into the craze.

tomi000@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Vegetarians and especially vegans need to either supplement protein or make sure to eat lots of protein-rich stuff like chickpeas.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Wrong. Plants are protein. They eat some beans and grains that have lysine and methionine amino acids which are lower in plants.
Those protein powders the brahs eat are from plants.
exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
They need to eat regular foods that have a regular amount of protein.
Someone trying to eat 2000 calories per day and hit 100 grams of protein (a pretty high target) only needs 5g of protein per 100 calories. That includes things like lentils and beans, sure but it also includes things like peanut butter or broccoli (6g per 100 calories). Things like bread or pasta or most other wheat products (3.5g per 100 calories) are pretty close to begin with.
A peanut butter sandwich has about 8g of protein from the bread and 7g from the peanut butter. That’s 15g of protein for 340 calories.
A slice of cheese pizza has 21g protein for 430 calories.
A can of beans has 25g protein for 420 calories.
A package of firm tofu has 32g protein for 280 calories.
Compare that to things like hot dogs (10g protein per 300 calorie hot dog), 80/20 hamburger (20g protein per 300 calorie serving), or breakfast sausage (11g protein per 270 calories), or bacon (10g protein per 170 calories), and it becomes obvious that trying to get 5g of protein per 100 calories isn’t that much easier with meat compared with dedicated processed high protein foods (whether meat based, dairy based, egg based, or other plant based) of supplements.
For most people, just eating normal is fine. For those of us who lift weights and might want to maintain lower body fat, it takes more work, but even omnivores will tend towards isolated dairy protein rather than eating meat willy nilly.
jumponboard@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s because almost everyone eats too much (bad) stuff.
If you are on a cut, you have to select your food wisely in order to get enough protein while still maintaining the cut.
Also, it is wiser to eat too much protein than limit your gains due to a shortage in protein. Imagine working out and not getting the additional reward for the additional set because you eat too little protein.

AA5B@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve read this stated before and I don’t see how it’s true.
stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
This is so disingenuous, technically yes we do our bodies automatically shit off the cravings when we get enough.
but that protein is in such low concentration in the food we eat that we are forced to eat 15X the carbs we eat to get the proper protein.
that’s why McDonald’s with their nipple sized beef works so well it gives you just enough protein to make you think it is healthy and you have to order 15X the amount you need.
if you eat something with higher concentration of protein you won’t need the extra carbs your brain doesn’t know to stop eating not to mention the transfat and sodium and no fiber that comes with the bread.
Not to say this bar is that, it looks like it’s loaded with sugar aswell but proper protein powder is not.
