What makes this cookie higher in protein than a regular biscuit, and is it suitable as a meal replacement? — Chikalab Glazed cookies with coconut filling, 60 g

The cookie uses a combination of whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, and milk protein concentrate to achieve its 15g of protein per serving. These milk-based proteins are commonly used in snacks for their high-quality amino acid profile, which can help increase the feeling of fullness after eating compared to a standard biscuit made primarily from refined flour and sugar. However, it is specifically described as a "high-protein snack" and a "quick bite," not a replacement for a balanced meal. It lacks the complete nutritional spectrum (like a full range of vitamins, minerals, and diverse food groups) that a proper meal provides. It works best as an occasional, convenient option to help manage hunger between meals, after a workout, or to satisfy a sweet craving with more protein and fibre. For a sustainable diet, focus on whole foods for your main meals and use products like this as supplementary items within your overall calorie and nutrient goals.
