Is your protein bar REALLY a protein bar??😉
Here’s how you can check:
1. The protein-to-calorie ratio test
Take the grams of protein × 10.
That number should be close to (or at least around) the total calories of the bar.
👉 Example:
A bar has 20g protein × 10 = 200.
If the bar has ~200 calories (or not much higher), it’s efficient for protein.
If it has 20g protein but 400 calories, that’s more of a snack/dessert than a protein bar.
2. Other things to check
Protein per calorie: Aim for at least 1 gram protein per 10 calories (10% of calories from protein). High-quality bars are often closer to 20–25%.
Sugar content: Less than 8–10g is usually better, otherwise it’s leaning toward a candy bar.
Fiber: 3–5g+ helps with satiety and blood sugar balance.
Ingredient quality: Look for whey, milk protein isolate, or plant proteins first—not corn syrup or sugar.
Read labels!! The word PROTEIN is on everything these days!! Make sure you choose wisely!💪😉
