WHAT ARE PROTEIN BARS?
Protein bars are a type of sports supplement designed for those athletes who need an extra contribution of protein, whether they are on a protein diet or if they need that extra contribution for muscle recovery after a workout. Thanks to their small size and the fact that they are easy to transport, protein bars are a perfect snack to consume at any time.
WHAT ARE PROTEIN BARS FOR?
Athletes who base their training routine on lifting weight need higher protein intakes than other athletes, to avoid muscle catabolism. When subjected to a high level of effort, muscle fibers break down. Protein is necessary for the body to build new, larger and stronger fibers. This is where protein bars are a great help for the athlete.
WHEN TO TAKE PROTEIN BARS?
In the case of protein bars, the best time to consume them is right after the end of the workout, this way we will give the body everything it needs to recover. It is also an excellent option to have a protein bar throughout the morning as a snack.
