If including two of the worst(and cheapest) ingredients for processed foods in a “Healthy Whole Foods Bar” is not cutting corners, then I guess to each his own :man_shrugging:

Marc is absolutely a business man first so while I do agree on liking him and have talked/worked alongside him many times, I disagree here

I don’t consider anything in the MRE family Whole Foods until we see a breakdown of the formula

I’m not sure I can post it here but I have an amino acid breakdown for mre lite. It’s good enough for me to keep using but there are less combined eaas in it than whey.

Edit: profile is a little bit similar to beef collagen

From what source? That isn’t disclosed

47

better off going with the vegan route, or getting a quality isolate IMO over beef protein

Someone very high up in rc1. It took a long ass time to get it. The only reason I won’t post is I am weary of posting a private conversation and the legal implications of doing so.

No idea. Oats, PB, whey…combined or on their own…all good. Must be the honey and all its “superfood” properties :man_shrugging:

I tried hard during my time with PricePlow to have Redcon1 to disclose the amino acid profile of MRE Lite. Aaron told me they were close - but they’ve yet to do it. In theory - it’s a great product, if the amino acid profile is comparable to a whole food protein source or whey.

As a result, I won’t touch MRE Lite. This is where Gaspari Proven Egg catapulted into my top 3 protein products.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt at first, but it’s been far too long. They are intentionally withholding information until they know the reception will be positive.

I can tell you that it is not comparable to whey, strictly looking @ amino acids (in my opinion/speculation of course). That being said I still use it almost everyday and I feel that it still has a place in my diet. Although it may not (alledegly :wink: ) have the same EAAs as whey, I include plenty of EAAs elsewhere in my diet and supplement with them as well, so it is a nice break from whey protein.
