Those wanting a good tasting Power Bar I have one for you. Get a Power Bar Protien Plus. Get the Vanilla Yogurt Flavor. They are extremly tasty. To me they taste like Candy. They are by far the best "bar" I have tasted. Plus they are about twice the size as a normal Power Bar.

Su - have you tried protein powder instead? Mix it in a fruit smoothie or chocolate almond drink (Breeze is the best). It works for me. I don't do those protein bars anymore because they are like candy bars and if you are addicted to candy bars you will become addicted to anything that tastes like candy bars. Eat a better diet and lose the candy/protein bars.

The "latest" I've seen on the carb/protein debate says that a four to one ratio of carb to protein results in fastest rate of carb conversion during exercise and best rate of muscle-sparing after exercise. It also seems that the protein content is much more important post-workout(of course) and the level of suggested protein during exercise is mostly dependent on gastro-intestinal effects. I take this to mean that a 4 to 1 ratio during exercise is ideal if you can tolerate the protein. |

Re: Re: Re: protein absorption and the body's needs
I remember reading the results of a few tests that have been done on a lot of those protein bars
the end result of most tests was that the protein bars almost always contained more fat and less protein than was claimed, sometimes the amount of fat was 2-3 times the label claim!! As Ric pointed out there is no real good reason for eating a protein bar if you are primarily training for cycling (bodybuilding or weightlifting MAY be a different case) besides i've never found one that didn't make me gag |

With all due respect, I just don't believe most of what this post says. Labels with as much error as you pont out may certainly exist out there somewhere but in most countries such mislabeling would be criminally negligent. As for the no real good reason for eating a protien bar... I think it might be a convenient way to get part of a body's daily requirement of protien some of the time, particularly when training stresses are very high or when you're short on time. That you don't like them... I can't disagree with that one. They are clearly not a staple. It's a mistake to think they're a meal replacement - particularly for a cyclist. There is room for them to play a role as a nutritional supplement should anyone who enjoys the taste and texture choose to do so.
