Reading a snack label

Compare protein, sugar and calories per bar rather than per 100 g, because bar sizes range from 40 g to 60 g. Many bars use sweeteners instead of sugar, so check the ingredient list if you prefer to avoid them. Look for multi-flavour packs and boxes of 6 or 12 if you snack daily, and check the allergen panel for nuts, milk and gluten.

Frequently asked questions

Can a protein bar replace a meal?

A protein bar is a snack, not a full meal. Use it between meals or around training as part of a balanced diet.

Are these snacks sugar-free?

Many are lower in sugar or use sweeteners, but not all. Check the nutrition table and ingredient list of each product.

Which snacks are good before a workout?

Lighter options such as a protein bar, protein cookie or coconut bar are easy to eat an hour or so before training. Choose what sits well with you.
