If weight loss is your goal, aim towards ~200 calories or less for a snack


If you are looking to build muscle and want to increase your overall calories from dense food then you are able to look more along the way of a ~400 calorie source


What about if I want a bar before a workout?


I would suggest a source with 20-25g carbs, 25g protein, and <5g of fat. These are modest bars that don’t make you regret wasting it on a meal for a piece of cardboard


For those again seeking to add muscle mass, you can afford to choose a bar with higher carbs >30g and protein >30g


The fat content should be around 10g especially if it’s a pre workout bar. A bar with high fat can potentially slow down the digestion of protein/carbs


Aim for minimal ingredients on the packaging


Although, I’m not the biggest fan of bars and would prefer clients to prioritize whole foods, I do understand convenience is also necessary.
