Today's #7 Fat Loss 3 Meals #
In the second article ~!
In my impression, the energy bar was probably popular since November last year, and there were evaluations of energy bars on various platforms, from online Tmall sales to separate sales in offline convenience stores.
It feels like all of a sudden, the nut energy bar has become another small snack in our circle, and I have tried several different brands of energy bars myself, and some of them do well in the ingredient list and taste.
Two days ago, there were also small friends who asked me that protein bars and energy bars can be eaten before and after fitness, what is the difference between the two, when to eat protein bars, when to eat nut sticks? Let's talk about this topic today.
In addition, today's article is in cooperation with Muscle Technology, private message asked me for Muscle Technology coupons can go to get! At the end of the article, I also prepared a discount for everyone
What is the difference between a protein bar and an energy bar?
Generally speaking, whether it is any snack or meal products, we mainly from the calories and the three major nutrients to do the most direct reference, considering the particularity of energy bars and protein bars (before and after the fitness and as a meal), should focus on the content of dietary fiber, protein and fat. Let's start with the nutrition facts list to see the differences in detail.
Show you a list of ingredients for a protein bar and an energy bar.
When we compare Figures 1 and 2, it is clear that the protein content of each 30g protein bar is three times that of the 30g energy bar, and the carbohydrate is similar, but the dietary fiber content of the energy bar is half of its carb.
Compare the ingredient list of a nut energy bar with an energy bar
(Muscle Tech's nut bars and a brand of nut bars)
The content of 30g of net carbs per serving (carbohydrate minus dietary fiber) is half that of brand two, while the fat content is three times that of brand two.
Overall, the protein content of the "protein bar" is high, while the "energy bar" has a higher content of carb + fat.
What determines the difference in their nutritional content?
When to choose a protein bar?
When to choose an energy bar?
It depends on when you eat, what are the functional requirements, and is it protein supplementation? Or is it a partial source of carbon water in place of a meal?
Take fitness as an example.
It is recommended to eat 1-2 hours before exercise, supplementing with high-quality carbs and fats will make your training more powerful, and can continue to replenish energy for your high-intensity exercise consumption during fitness.
At this time, the "energy bar" with higher carbohydrate content is more suitable for eating before exercise.
The dietary fiber in the energy bar can increase our long-term satiety. The same is true for nut energy bars with relatively low carb content and higher fat content.
What about after a workout?
Between 20 and 60 minutes after our workout, it is the best time for muscle recovery, and this time intake of protein and carbs is very conducive to the rapid recovery of muscles.
The body will quickly accept your intake of carbs and proteins and digest them for muscle recovery.
Therefore, as a post-exercise meal, the protein bar is a better choice. The high protein in the protein bar can help restore muscles, making fat loss and fitness more effective with less effort.
Taking these out for comparison, rather than emphasizing that it is necessary to choose low carb, low fat, and high protein, is the best choice.
What I want to express more is that which food you choose ultimately depends on what kind of effect you hope to achieve. Only by understanding food better can we eat clearly and clearly.

Muscle technology is really the brand I have cooperated with many times, it can be called the world's largest nutrition company, every year will invest millions of dollars in sports nutrition research and development, in order to meet the needs of different consumers for sports supplements, this time I received his family before often sold out of stock platinum whey protein bars.
Whey Protein Bars come in 3 flavors, strawberry yogurt, cocoa almonds and sea salt cheese flavors.
30g per stick, whether it is in the bag or carry-on is very convenient, does not occupy a place.
Whether it is as a meal after fitness, or an emergency protein supplement when it is too late to cook on a business trip, it is good, a small one contains 9.8g of protein, the calories are about 120 calories, and there is no need to worry about excessive calorie intake and obesity.
Strawberry flavor inside the yogurt dissolved bean sandwich, when eating dissolved beans, sour very surprised, cocoa almonds can occasionally eat nut granules, very layered.
Do you think I like cocoa the most!? What surprised me the most this time was the sea salt cheese flavor.
It is really an unexpected surprise, the cheese taste is very strong, the salty taste of the occasional sea salt granules adds to the richness of the cheese, and the bento sister said that there is a little feeling of sea salt cheese milk cover.
In addition, this protein bar of Muscle Technology is a relatively rare protein bar that integrates 5 kinds of high-quality proteins, including collagen, milk protein, soy protein, whey protein and casein.
The combination of fast-absorbing protein and slow-absorbing protein can not only prolong the consumption time of protein in the body and increase satiety, but also meet the needs of the body for different proteins to the greatest extent.
According to the official evaluation data of Muscle Technology, the special protein binding method can extend the satiety of ordinary protein bars by about 1 to 2 hours, and the longest can reach 4 hours.
The addition of additional resistant dextrin as a dietary fiber supplement not only further prolongs the time for satiety but also promotes bowel movements.
