Protein Nutrition Bars - Are They Good For You?
Do you know what to look for when buying protein nutrition bars? Should you be focused on taste, nutritional value, quality of the ingredients, or price? Well, all actually. There are protein bars out there that are tasty, have great nutritional balance, are made from quality ingredients, and are not too expensive. Remember, no protein bars are made equal.
Nutritional balance is a very important feature in a protein bar. If an energy bar depends mostly on carbohydrates, or in other words sugars, for fuel, that's not very good. It's bad actually and the sad thing is that the average energy bar is made mostly out of carbohydrates.
A PR bar that has a proper ratio of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and is not primarily made out of sugars is a good PR bar. What ratio of carbs, proteins, and fats is the best? That depends, it's an individual thing, but many say that 40/30/30 in a healthy balance.
How healthy are these snacks? First, it depends how nutritionally balanced they are - they need to provide a proper ratio of nutrients. Then look at the quality of the ingredients - trans fats are not healthy, for example. A healthy PR bar should also contain vitamins, minerals, and other healthy substances.
Taste is obviously also an important factor when buying PR bars. But taste is pretty hard to measure and everyone has its own preferences. Today, most brands of protein bars offer quite rich diversity of flavors - chocolate, lemon, mint, strawberry, coffee, and so on.
Protein bars usually don't last too long around the house and are eaten pretty fast. That's why price is also very important. So what's a good price? Well, you don't wanna be too cheap, because you do get what you pay for, but I wouldn't go over 2 dollars a bar.
Protein bars are a perfect choice for a snack or a quick meal. You can take them anywhere you go - no mess, no fuss. Just choose wisely. - 17273
