David Protein bars exploded overnight… but now they’re facing lawsuits, monopoly accusations, and questions about whether their “150 calories” claim is even real.
In this episode of GlowJob, we break down the explosive rise of David Protein bars—from their viral launch and influencer domination to lawsuits, monopoly accusations, and the fallout involving former Chief Scientific Officer Peter Attia alongside a growing controversy around their nutrition labels.
At the center of it all is EPG, a modified fat that allows David to claim 28g protein, 150 calories, and zero sugar. But new lawsuits allege those numbers could be way off.
We cover:
Peter Rahal: the founder behind RXBAR and David Protein
David's acquisition of the ONLY supplier of EPG
Why multiple brands are suing for antitrust violations
Claims that calories may be underreported by up to 83%
The science debate around how calories should be measured
The Epstein-related controversy involving their former Chief Scientific Officer
And somehow… the brand is still thriving. So what’s really going on?
