Protein Bars: Energy at Hand

Protein and energy bars Protein and energy bars are meant to provide extra protein and energy conveniently wrapped for people on the go. They can be tossed in a gym bag or briefcase for a mid-afternoon pickup or pre-workout energy boost.

These bars are available in a variety of flavors and textures, with different percentages of protein, carbs and fats. And most of them come in a range of flavors such as peanut butter, chocolate, cookies and cream, carrot cake, apricot, berry and mocha, so you may have to do some taste-testing to find the ones you like to help get you through a workday or workout. Most bars that bill themselves specifically as "protein bars" contain at least 20 grams of protein per bar.

Here's a comparison of some popular protein and energy bars:

-Met-Rx Protein Plus Bar: 250 calories, 34 grams of protein

-PowerBar Protein Plus: 290 calories, 24 grams of protein

-Promax Protein Bar: 270 calories, 20 grams of protein

Some bars claim to be formulated for women, but that doesn't make them bad for men. Try any bar you want and if you like the taste and the results, then that's the bar for you, regardless of what it's called or what the wrapper looks like. Once you find your bar or bars of choice, save money by buying them by the box.
