Protein Bars

Protein bars are a simple way to make sure your protein needs are met each day, without having to worry about mixing shakes or hunting for nutritionally-balanced food. It's not always easy finding food that meets your macronutrient needs when you’re busy shopping or under the pump at work.

Perhaps you prefer moderate protein and low calorie if your focus is getting lean—or keeping lean—or high protein and high calorie if powerlifting if your thing or you're looking to gain some size. Let’s face it, chomping on a protein bar is certainly more appealing than a can of tuna in springwater.

Even a tub of high-protein cottage cheese can be ... well, a lot of cheese. That’s the beauty of the protein bar. Simply slip one in your pocket and you're away. Protein bars are made of the same high quality protein that you find in protein shakes. This means that protein bars provide you with an abundance of amino acids, which are the building blocks of the human body. We need these to build muscle, create enzymes and construct neurotransmitters like dopamine. Without protein in our diet, and the amino acids that they are made from, we would not last very long at all. 

The more active we are, the more our protein needs increase. Obviously, lifting heavy weights significantly increases our protein need, while a light jog will only moderately increase our demands. And of course, the more muscle mass we have, the higher our need for this essential nutrient, as we need amino acids to maintain muscle mass. Protein bars are one of the many convenient ways in which we can meet our daily protein requirement without too much fanfare or fuss.

Protein bars come in a range of flavours, sizes and macronutrient profiles to satisfy even the most stringent dietary requirements. So whether you are on a mass gains program, weight loss program, or are simply looking for a high-protein alternative to a chocolate bars, the Sportys Health range is sure to have something suitable.
