WHAT ARE BARS?
Bars are considered one of the best ways to incorporate carbohydrates or protein into our diet as athletes. There are a large number of formats that adapt to the needs of each athlete. Thanks to a pleasant texture and a wide variety of flavors, finding the right energy bar or protein bar is very simple. In our online sports nutrition store you can consult all the ingredients and nutritional values of each bar to make choosing even easier.
WHAT ARE THE BARS FOR?
When the body is subjected to physical effort, it needs to recover the energy used. In this case, energy bars have the necessary amount of carbohydrates so that you can go as far as you want. In the case of physical work exercise with loads such as fitness or CrossFit, an extra contribution of protein is necessary to improve muscle recovery, in these cases is when you should choose to take protein bars.
WHEN TO TAKE BARS?
In the case of energy bars we must take them before, after and during physical exercise to achieve the best results. In the case of protein bars, we can consume them as a snack throughout the day or at the end of each workout to provide the muscle with the amount of protein it needs.
