March 20, 2009, Newsletter Issue #159: Protein and Energy Bars

Tip of the Week

Protein and energy bars are essential if you work out heavily or are a professional athlete, but they come in handy for the rest of us, too. They are a great way to get in breakfast or lunch on the run, and they're much better for you than most of the fast-food snacks we tend to grab when we're on the go.

To get the most out of your protein and energy bars, you should look for essential ingredient. Make sure the calories and fat are not too high. In addition, look at the amounts of protein and carbohydrate in the bar. They should be high for the best workout energy and endurance, but only medium if you're just looking at protein and energy bars as a meal or snack. Your protein and energy bars should also contain the right vitamins and minerals, especially B vitamins and potassium. Watch out for these essentials, and avoid protein and energy bars low in these vitamins and minerals.
