Fast Food - Are Protein Bars Really Good to Carry?

This morning I dusted off my roller blades. If you were standing next to me while I was putting on these skates, you would have seen the excitement like a kid on Christmas morning opening gifts. You see, it's been a very long time since I've skated at all. I skated by myself and good thing I was prepared. I have a fanny pack with about 24 ounces of water; I had a backpack with snacks such as protein bars and fruit. I had my music player ready and was all set for a long session.

About an hour and a half into this activity I started feeling hungry. I stopped and ate a protein bar. I could have had fruit but decided to go with the bar. The thing I don't like about the bars is that they are processed. Watch out that they are not made with unhealthy hydrogenated oils. As far as healthy snack, I categorize them as somewhere in the middle. When you choose a protein bar, choose one with at least 10 grams of protein and less than 10 grams of sugar. The serving I had was enough to tide me over till my next meal.

Here are points why they're good to have:

-When a whole meal isn't convenient, you have backup; take to the gym, office, school or anywhere.
-Easy to monitor calories when dieting
-Keeps your hunger at bay between main meals
-Can replenish energy levels after a training session
-Temper blood sugar spikes and reduce insulin secretion.

As you can see, protein bars are a good idea to pack. It's a great meal on the go or a snack between meals.
