Smart Protein – Ketogenic Protein Tablets Without Calories
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
|
The headline sounds contradictory at first, but yes, it actually exists! We were in the context of the ketogenic diet looking for a protein powder which is suitable for the keto diet (because you should be careful that you do not take too much protein).
We found no powder but protein tablets called “SMART PROTEIN” from the company everydays.
“Smart Protein” – protein tablets from everydays – without calories, perfect for the Ketogenic diet.
We wanted to know more about the product, so we did an interview with Julius, one of the founding team.
Julius, why is it fundamentally important that we meet our daily protein needs?
Most people don’t even know that, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a “protein requirement.” What we supply to the body via proteins are the amino acids. Strictly speaking, we should talk about amino acid requirements. To meet this need, we eat proteins, because they provide long chains of amino acids that have been synthesized in other plants and living organisms.
Amino acids are the basic building blocks of all life.
All cells, muscles, skin, hair, nails, bones and even the immune system are made of amino acids. Without amino acids, the body cannot regenerate and build itself.
The problem is that humans cannot produce 8 of the 20 amino acids themselves. These must be added through food. The complete rest can be produced in the body on the basis of the 8 essential amino acids.

What is SMART PROTEIN?
SMART PROTEIN is produced in Germany by the everydays brand and was developed based on the studies on the subject published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
We have developed SMART PROTEIN as a product that helps people who do not eat enough protein to get the optimal amount of amino acids for cell growth (without extra calories). The amino acid profile is tailor-made for human protein synthesis.
For this purpose, many different combinations of test persons were worked with and the nitrogen waste (non-usable amino acids) in the feces & urine were examined. On this basis, enormous progress in strength building can be achieved with only a few grams daily. Much more efficient than other supplements in the protein area could manage.
It is also easy on the intestines, kidneys and liver, as nothing has to be broken down and degraded. SMART PROTEIN can be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes. For the body definitely the best way to get vital amino acid in the form of a dietary supplement.
What are the advantages of taking tablets?
SMART PROTEIN is produced without fillers and pressing aids. By taking pressed tablets, the amino acids can be absorbed directly, without digestion. In addition, amino acids are supplied in pharmaceutical purity, 100% pure.
For whom is Smart Protein particularly suitable?
The classic is of course for people who want to lose weight and become defined.
With Smart Protein you can save calories you don’t want and paired with sports you can achieve a very good fitness.
The whole body becomes more powerful and lively. It is also an ideal supplement when fasting or during diets, because Smart Protein does not interrupt the fasting phase and reduces the alarm state in the body to a minimum.
This significantly lowers the likelihood of a yo-yo effect after dieting.
People with gastrointestinal diseases, to rebuild after serious illness or in case of burnout to recharge their batteries, are also part of our customer base.
What problems are often encountered when taking protein powders?
Proteins are broken down into their components – the amino acids – in the body.
From the amino acids obtained, the body can produce its own proteins with the help of protein synthesis – but only as long as all amino acids are present in the correct relation to each other. The rest is laboriously converted into energy and cannot be used for cell building.
The higher the quality of the protein source, the fewer calories it simply provides. 4kcal / 1g protein is only a guideline value in German food law. Protein shakes are not an ideal support for cell building, because only a fraction of the amino acids can be used anabolically.
In addition, very often additives are used, which can harm the body if taken regularly. So rather a poor meal replacement.
Another problem is the intestinal health of many people: Only if the intestine functions perfectly, protein can be completely broken down. If the intestinal flora is damaged, there will be problems with digestion. When large amounts of protein are ingested, a lot of undigested protein ends up in the large intestine because only a fraction of the protein supplied can be broken down.
You say Smart Protein is adapted to humans – what does that mean in concrete terms?
Almost all amino acids can be used for cell building. Instead of consuming 70g of protein from e.g. meat, 10-15g of SMART PROTEIN is enough to achieve the same effects, with significantly less calories and waste.

What is the difference to BCAAs?
BCAAs do not provide all 8 essential amino acids needed for protein synthesis. The better comparison would be EAA products.
Common EAA products are not optimized for the lowest possible nitrogen depletion, i.e. they cannot be fully utilized for anabolic metabolism. Therefore, one does not achieve the same effect.
Smart Protein can be used as an effective protein substitute, classic EAA products cannot.
In addition, there are the points of purity. Smart Protein is produced in pharmaceutical purity and is also used by therapists and doctors. It provides pure crystalline amino acids from fermentation. Fermentation is a digestion-like process in which the amino acids are fermented out of the raw material (peas) with the help of enzymes and bacteria. Similar to what the intestines would do.
So the product as a whole has a higher quality and is therefore more expensive than standard EAAs. Quality for which it is worth paying a little more.
How should I take Smart Protein and should I still eat a lot of protein in addition?
Our recommended intake calculator on the website can be used to determine the daily intake amount. Most of our customers take 2×3 pellets per day, in addition to their normal diet.
This means that one pack is enough for 1 month. Still pretty cheap compared to other protein sources.
The focus at all times (no matter with which supplement) should be on a healthy and varied diet. A special focus on protein nutrition is no longer necessary.

Smart Protein is ketogenic. Why is it still important in the ketogenic diet to take enough protein in the form of tablets?
(Shouldn’t you also watch your protein intake in the keto diet and not let it rise above 25%?)
Even people in ketosis need amino acids for an intact body system. If protein is not used for cell building but is catabolically metabolized, glucose, or sugar, is produced in the body.
Normal protein supplements sugar out the body and ketosis is exited.
Thank you for the interview!
We have already tested the pressed pellets and are very satisfied. It is extremely useful especially if you don’t tolerate protein powders well. The presslings help well with recovery and despite low carb or keto provide the muscles with all the nutrients they need (only without calories ;-)).
