Swipe to see how the fitness & supplement industry manipulate you.
“Protein bars” are a convenient snack that many people rely on to help them “get their protein in.” I can remember about 5 years ago when I first started bodybuilding, many of the names on the left, I had almost daily…no wonder my gut health was such a mess.
First thing we need to understand is that a majority of these protein bars are marketed to us as being a health food - they are not.
They are also marketed as being a quality source of protein - they are not.
Not once is it mentioned that all of these bars contain:
- Artificial sweeteners like Sucralose which disrupt your gut bacteria
- Seed & Vegetable Oils which are highly inflammatory - some of the worst things you can consume
- Gums & Thickeners that are hard to break down & irritate our gut
- Non organic highly processed milk proteins that cause inflammation & digestive symptoms
If you think about the process that your body has to go through to break down these ingredients and detox them out of the body, is it really worth that extra 20g of protein you get from the bar?
The answer to this is NO, it’s not. You most likely aren’t even absorbing the protein due to the terrible quality.
Swipe through to see how many ingredients the “FitCrunch” bar has in it. You’re not going to be “Fit” for long if you consume those daily.
These bars on the right are a exponentially better option if you really need something to snack on on the go but you should not be relying on something packaged with 10+ ingredients everyday as a meal or protein replacement.
