Protein: what the law says. In bars that are a source of protein, protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. The grams of protein per bar vary by brand and flavour — check each product page. Find protein powders in protein.
Sugars, polyols and allergens. Many bars use sweeteners and polyols (such as maltitol) instead of sugar. Excessive consumption of polyols may produce laxative effects. Bars often contain milk, soya, nuts or peanuts — always read the ingredients list.
How to choose your bar. Compare the protein, sugars and calories per bar, the size and the texture. For long sessions, a carbohydrate bar may make more sense; for a snack, a protein bar. More options in drinks and snacks.
