WHAT MAKES A GREAT PROTEIN BAR?

First there's protein. Protein is essential to sustaining healthy body functions. The body obtains protein from food, and then breaks it down into amino acids, which are used to build muscles, enzymes, hormones and even antibodies. A complete protein is one that contains all of the essential amino acids in the appropriate ratios needed for human growth. For an average adult, 24 grams of protein is approximately 48% of the US Daily Value. The Daily Value (DV) based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet is 50 grams. However, athletes generally have a higher calorie need than non-athletes due to their increased activity level and physiological demands, which in turn means an overall higher protein requirement. In general, athletes should try to consume 0.5 to 0.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. Maintaining an adequate protein level after exercise can help your body repair and help build the muscles you've used during exercise.

Consider the original PowerBar® ProteinPlus™ bars, which contain 24 grams of high-quality, complete protein.

The following foods also contain approximately 24 or 16 grams of complete protein:

When choosing foods that are high in protein, you should try to select lean, low fat sources. Many foods that are excellent protein sources can also be high in fat, and saturated fat, which we want to control in the diet in order to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
