Choosing the Best Protein Bar

A Couple of Easy Tricks to Find the Best Protein Bar

Let’s start by having a look at the nutritional label. In this example of No Cow’s Chunky Peanut Butter Protein Bar, we start by looking at how many protein grams per serving- there are 21 grams in this bar. Now add a O to the end of the protein number and it becomes 210.  Now look at the calories per serving. In this bar there is 190 calories per serving. The protein number should be higher than the calorie number. In this example the protein number is higher than the calories so this is a good choice and would be considered a good choice for a protein bar. 

Choosing the Best Protein Shake

The same principle applies. Let’s look at the Fairlife Core Power Protein Shakes with 26 grams of protein per serving. Low in added sugars, high in protein – the protein is 26, add the 0 (protein number is 260), calories are 170. This is a good choice with the protein number being higher than the calorie number.
