## Resource

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Protein Doritos. Are these bold, crunchy chips actually a smart snack upgrade, or just clever marketing from one of the biggest food companies in the world? With 10 grams of protein per serving and a shorter-than-usual ingredient list for a Dorito, they might sound like a win, but is that the whole story? Jenn digs into the nutrition facts, the fat sources, the GMO disclosure, and that ever-important question of what "one serving" really looks like in real life. Could these actually be a better protein snack than a certain celebrity protein popcorn? And more importantly, do any of us really need protein packed into our chips? Tune in to find out where Jenn lands on this one. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?
