Lenny & Larry’s Complete Cookie lacks advertised protein, says Class Action Lawsuit

It hasn’t been going well for Lenny & Larry or their Complete Cookie. First, there was a recall in December of 2016 for undeclared dairy contamination in their chocolate chips. That’s kind of a big deal when you’re selling a cookie that’s supposedly vegan.

And now they’ve been sued in a class action lawsuit that claims they’ve drastically overstated their protein content — claiming 16 grams of protein per cookie when laboratory tests reveal that each cookie has between 4–9 grams of protein.

Not to mention they got about the same sugar content as a toll house.

Shit, even cookie companies are trying to short people on the goods.. Hard to find honest people these days

What's sugar have to do with anything?

But this sucks though, I loved the peanut butter ones. Used to eat these all the time intra-workout.

Just pointing out this is hardly a healthy substitute. Tasty for sure but really not that much better than Oreo double stuff..

The term *healthy* is very subjective. There's also nothing directly unhealthy about sugar. Every carb we eat is turned into glucose, which is sugar anyways. A couple of cookies isn't the reason for anyone to be out of shape.

The irony in what we perceive as healthy on a drug forum lol. Even regular society has it ass-backwards.

Good point my man..

These cookies sell like crazy in my gyms. They taste amazing n not one of my suppliers told me anything about these claims. Not even reps from other supplement companies.

I agree, if I'm gonna eat cookies it's gonna be a regular chocolate chip cookie, not these stupid things

It is hard on the body to eat a lot of sugar all the time. In a state of nature, sugar is rare.

Society is fat as can be, and it is because of all the sugar in everything. The amount of sugar people are eating cannot be plausibly worked off with a decent amount of exercise. It's pretty sad, really, and people are ignorant.

The difference with this product is that ignorant people are buying it thinking they are being "healthy" when it is no more or less healthy than Oreo Double Stuff, as Bundy74 pointed out. One does not get to look like Bundy74 eating cookies all the time.

I just ate some real chocolate chip cookies, with sugar!

It's hard on the body to eat a lot of anything all the time. Sugar is not the reason anyone is fat. Sugar can not make you fat. Over-eating makes you fat. The source doesn't matter.

Though it is merely easier to "over-eat" on sugar. One can easily look like Bundy eating cookies all the time. The IIFYM (flexible dieting) crowd does it on a daily basis. The majority eat donuts daily and walk around with shredded abs to prove a point.
(Obviously within reason, they're merely tracking the macros and eating what falls in line.)

Their health markers are fine as well.


A study showed that in obese people it didn't matter if they got 100g of carbs from pure sugar, or 100g from something like a sweet potato, fat loss remained the same and ALL health markers improved the same among both groups.

Healthy is defined by three things, genetics most importantly, excess fat, and how much you move. Blood flow is the Well of Life.
Fat restricts blood flow and stresses out every system in your body. Genetics determines if your "healthy" lifestyle is going to matter or not.

Plenty of people dying who are what people would consider to be "healthy". Healthy doesn't mean shit if your genetics have a say in it.

At the end of the day, all you can do is play the cards you were given. And blame your parents if they weren't good enough.

How dare you fat shame! Dont you know being fatty is a disease and out if said fatty's hands!

Good info, and yeah the "dieters" that have succeeded while eating Ho-Hos and Twinkies have proved a powerful point. But we shouldn't minimize the addiction problems with sugar. If you have excellent self-control and track cals sharply everything is possible, sure, but most people don't.

I also wonder if part of the hunger and resultant overeating problems caused by modern diets is subclinical malnutrition creating pangs in the part of your brain looking out for that stuff. Sure, that chocolate chip cookie (with refined flour, no fiber, and no vitamins) was GOOD but something is still missing, no? Better have another... and another...

I hear a cookie calling my name right now in fact.

This is the point. There is so much sugar in everything now that people are getting fatter. They are not eating more than their parents did. They are eating differently.

Most people are not focused on bodybuilding. They just eat what is available and live life not worrying about it.

Back in 1960, that is how almost everybody lived. Nobody thought much about what they were eating. They were not fat.

Things have changed because sugar is in almost everything now. People eat very differently than they used to eat. The average woman today is 166 pounds. Think about that. It is more than the average man in 1960.

Getting back on the subject of this thread, Bundy74 pointed out that this "healthy protein" candy bar is about the same as eating a Snickers bar. And he's right. But people think they are eating better to eat processed shit like this.

Perhaps in some carefully controlled study, but real life does not act like that. Simple sugar dumps all at once. Complex carbohydrates take a long time to break down. The first one leaves fatty Patty looking for another snack in a short period of time. The latter leaves fatty Patty with a feeling of satiety for a longer period of time.

There are also some not yet completely understood effects on the body from large spikes of insulin. There are plenty of studies showing anti-inflammatory benefits of complex carbohydrate (low glycemic index) foods over simple sugars. There are also numerous studies linking higher glycemic index foods to diabetes and coronary heart disease. These latter two are the reason the glycemic index was developed.

So, you are correct that 100 grams of carbs does not affect weight loss (whether simple or complex sugars, that is) IF and only IF that is precisely what is consumed. I submit that fatty Patty is going to eat more on your diet than on mine, for the reason given above. You are wrong about your claims that the health effects are the same between high and low glycemic foods. That just is not true.
