  Are Protein Snacks for Weight Management?

  Yes, it can help you lose or gain weight. Eating a bars between meals can help control your appetite, but don't eat too many because you'll end up taking in more calories than you need. Most protein bars contain anywhere from 150 to 250 calories each.

  WHY TO GET PROTEIN BARS?

  Protein is an essential macronutrient that supports several structures in your body. You can find protein in numerous sources including eggs, meat, fish and nuts. However, many people rely on protein supplements, in form of bars, to get their recommended daily amount. The protein bar is good option that has several dietary and lifestyle benefits.

  Meal Replacement

  Many weight-loss plans, especially those marketed as “high-protein", rely on meal-replacement bars to control portions and reduce calories. Meal-replacement bars typically contain high amounts of protein and fiber to help you feel fuller longer, along with many other essential vitamins and minerals to ensure well-balanced nutrition. The meal replacements, including nutrition bars, are effective for weight loss when part of a well-rounded diet. However, you cannot rely entirely on meal replacements for your diet. Bars do not supply all the nutrients and antioxidants found in fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

  Snack Between Meals

  Eating snack-size bars can help reduce overeating between meals. Many bars come in indulgent dessert flavors - like chocolate, peanut butter, fudge brownie and lemon meringue, to satisfy your sweet tooth while avoiding blood sugar spikes and subsequent crashes. Over time, blood sugar spikes, associated with snacks like candy bars and other sweets can lead to weight gain. Your body converts excess blood sugar, which is not immediately used for energy, into fat.

  Workout Support

  Supplying your body with necessary nutrients can help you get the most from your workout. A protein bar consumed before exercising supplies you with steady energy during your activity. It also offers benefits after your workout. The amino acids found in nutrition bars help provide the building blocks your body needs to generate new muscle tissue, repairing the microscopic muscle tears that occur over the course of your workout.

  Convenience

  Protein bars have the advantage of convenience. They are small and can be consumed quickly by active people or professionals. Meal replacement and snack varieties provide an easy option for dieters who lack the time or resources for extensive meal planning. Additionally, bars do not require measuring and mixing - as with protein powders or refrigeration, as with manufactured protein shakes.

  The protein in cow's milk is 20% whey and 80% casein protein, whereas the protein in human milk is 60% whey and 40% casein. The protein fraction in whey constitutes approximately 10% of the total dry solids. This protein is typically a mixture of beta-lactoglobulin (~65%), alpha-lactalbumin (~25%), bovine serum albumin (~8%) and immunoglobulins.These are soluble in their native forms, independent of pH.

  The amino acid cysteine in whey is a substrate for the synthesis of glutathione in the body which is an ubiquitous cellular antioxidant; laboratory experiments have suggested that its components might reduce the risk of cancer in animals, suggesting an avenue for future medical research.
