Product Information

grams sugar maximum: The best protein bars have no more than 13 grams of sugar, with a few exceptions that made the list (and the experts explain why). One CLIF BAR contains an average of 1–2 g of saturated fat, which is less than 1% of a person’s daily calories on a diet of 2,000 calories per day. The ketogenic, or keto, diet is a very low carb, high fat diet that’s associated with several health benefits, including weight loss ( 1).

Pure Protein bars are affordable and come in nine different flavors, including staples like chocolate peanut butter and chocolate salted caramel. However, the low sugar content is balanced out by the addition of several artificial sweeteners sucralose, maltitol and sucrose. Moreover, Pure Protein bars contain hydrolyzed collagen and therefore are not suitable for vegetarians.Another recent study compared the effects of eating carbs or protein before a cycling workout with exercising after an overnight fast. The results suggested that consuming protein before exercise could help to promote energy balance while keeping the body in a state of fat oxidation — or fat burning — during exercise. The authors of a small 2021 study created high protein bars using whey and soy protein isolate to act as a meal replacement for eight caucasian athletes. They found that consuming a high protein bar after a workout reduced oxidative stress and helped the athletes recover from exercise-induced muscle damage. When you’re deciding which product is right for you, it’s important to consider the macronutrient profile of the bar and its ingredient list.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that as a minimum, adult females and males eat 46 g and 56 g, respectively, of protein per day. Therefore, a Crunchy Peanut Butter CLIF BAR would provide about 20% of a male’s daily protein requirement.

The AHA warns that just one 12-ounce can of soda can contain 32 g of added sugar, which is more than a day’s allowance for females.https://corc.usc.edu/pdf/High%20fructose%20corn%20syrup%20and%20diabetes%20prevalence%20-%20A%20global%20perspective%5B1%5D.pdf

Jovanov. P., et al. (2021). High-protein bar as a meal replacement in elite sports nutrition: A pilot study. Additionally, Fiber One bars don’t contain much fat — most varieties provide only about 6 g per bar. Because a keto diet is characterized by very low carb, high fat foods, Fiber One bars do not meet most of the requirements. Are Quest Bars keto?However, finding a keto-friendly bar can be difficult — most protein bars are too high in carbs or too low in fat or contain ingredients that don’t fit on a keto diet, such as dairy. The Chocolate Sea Salt bar is made using a brown rice and pea protein blend, soluble corn fiber, chocolate coating, glycerine, almonds, palm oil, natural flavors, cocoa powder, salt, water, and a sweetener blend of monk fruit, stevia extract, and erythritol.
