Common Questions and Answers about Protein bars calories
protein
Good question!
re causing you to gain weight. Look at the calories before you eat it next time. Most protein bars are meant for people who are already fit and are looking to gain muscle. For someone who is trying to lose weight and already is somewhat overweight, this will translate into fat. Try meal replacement bars instead. Those are often anywhere from 100 to 200 calories and are tastier and just as filling. Watch the sugar on anything, though.
i am losing the battle against calorie intake. I know you're not supposed to go over 2,200 calories per day..... but how? Every once in a while I go over and I'll feel super guilty. I do protein shakes, protein bars, healthy snacks and no meals and extra water. I don't regularly give in to cravings either. It is hard when all I can think about is my next snack. What do you do to stay under 2,200? Any recommendations to ease the pain of the calorie count?
You can get protein fr a lot of different sources than just a protein shake. Beans, Greek yogurt, cheese, almond milk, etc. be careful w too many protein shakes bcuz of added unnecessary calories & too many protein shakes/bars can make you constipated.
Great snacks such as fruits, fruit juices, some protein bars, a glass of low fat milk, dried cramberries, jerky meat, dried bluberries, yogurts, raisins, almonds are good enough. But I would also suggest you snacks from the mesogeian diet (greek particulary) such as salad with tomato, cocumber, feta cheese, oregan olives and olive oil. Also, greek tacos which are basicly rusks with olive oil, sliced tomato oregan and feta cheese on the top WHICH is part of the Cretian dieting.
Cereal and cereal bars are a good source of fiber, grain and energy for breakfast. Some cereals provide fruit and nuts in the mixture, which adds servings of other food group. Take care not to choose high-sugar, refined cereals; these tend to have higher calories and cause a sugar crash, resulting in mid-day fatigue. Cereal bars that contain oatmeal, bran and fruit offer sensible options on the go. Grab a piece of fruit such as an apple, orange or banana to pair with the cereal.
Energy Bars May Not Have as much Protein as You Think!
Baylor University researchers found that when men with at least 6 weeks of weight training experience were given a whey-casein mixture before their workouts, they built 50 percent more lean muscle mass over 10 weeks than men who took only whey.
Some meal-replacement bars may not have as much protein as you think.
It is very likely that you are going through a growing spurt and you need extra calories, but you need to make sure that those calories are healthy overall. Are you getting enough vegetables, fruits, protein and fiber? Are you getting enough exercise? MedHelp.org does have an expert forum in Nutrition and Child Nutrition you may want to turn to. Good luck and stay healthy.
Whole foods are the best sources of calories and protein, but if you have a naturally high metabolism, you may find it difficult to get what you need through whole foods alone.
I also suggest buying Whey protein Concentrate NOT Isolate!!
Avoid those with added sugars and preservatives. Add high calorie ingredients to your protein shakes to boost the calorie content.
The eating plan us calked LCHF, which is low fat, moderate protein and high fat. And there are no gimmicks, pills, powders, bars, etc...just real food. Best part is that no calorie counting, eat until full. Also, it canceled my cravings and I no longer snack anymore. I also need to remind myself to eat, as I'm not hungry anymore (I used to be ravenous all day long).
Basic meal is VEGETABLE + PROTEIN (meat, fish, eggs) + FAT. Example is egg omelette with bacon and asparagus.
I had the same problem one of the mothers told me protein bars, which i used to love eating now i can't stand em but don't worry i been taking my prenatals for a week and gain 5 pounds and i hardly eat anything. Just try to eat snacks thought out the day that has a lot of calories.
Some kind of meat and veggies for lunch and dinner. I snack on fruit or protein bars and sometimes have a protein shake. I pretty much eat what I want, but do try to make better choices like only drinking water, soy milk, lowfat cheese, whole grain bread...etc. Now, if I really want a burger or a slice of pizza, I will have it in moderation and just eat very healthy for the other meals during that day. I don't believe in the word "diet".
