Dr. Philip Goglia, the WBC Nutrition Committee Chairman, gives another knowledgeable update on Boxing Nutrition in 2020.
Often I’m asked what type of protein bars are best to eat. There is no such thing as a protein bar!
Does your protein bar taste like salmon, chicken, or steak? Doubtful. It probably tastes like chocolate or cookies.
Chances are, it’s a sugar with a fairy dusting of some low-grade protein in it. Don’t be fooled by crafty marketing.
If it’s not fish, poultry, steak, eggs, or nuts, it’s not a protein.
If you choose to use a pre work out bar, make sure it offers up honest marketing that is a healthy 50 / 50 split of sugar and fat for sustainable workout energy.
Examples are Bonk Breaker bars, my favorite choice, and cyclists and multi-sport athletes’ choice.
