        FYI I have now updated this post to include only posts (with the exception of 2-3) that include nutritional information and have given the protein amounts under each description. Hope that helps some people.

      I’d have enjoyed your link list to all your other sites if it wasn’t for the fact that I have to waste 5 minutes of my time for each link turning all your shit off in the crap GDPR blocker.

      How much longer until you all realise you have fucked this up?
