Editor's Test: Zero Bar Protein Bars by Power Pro. California Gold Nutrition Sport Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Zero Protein Bars

Often such a snack becomes a protein or sports bar. website tested protein bars "Zero Bar" from PowerPro and share his experience with you.

I love sports. I used to do ballroom dancing ballet, Pilates, several types of yoga, kickboxing and regularly visited the gym. For the past few months I have been training every day: yoga, strength and aerobic exercise.

I am a vegetarian and follow a healthy diet. Very often, after a workout, there is a strong feeling of hunger, but you can not eat everything and not immediately. Protein bars are available, so I took them. Despite the fact that I always go in for sports, I have never tried sports nutrition before.

Before I eat anything, I always carefully study the composition of the product, so as soon as the bars fell into my hands, I began to read the label.

Energy value of the bar

One bar contains:

184.8 kcal
26.4 g protein
10.8 g carbs
4.2 g fat
9.6 g fiber

Compound

Oligofructose

Oligofructose is the most studied type of prebiotic fiber. This ingredient is broken down by the human intestinal microflora, changing the bacterial composition in favor of bifidobacteria. In addition, oligofructose improves calcium absorption. This prebiotic is used due to its low calorie content - only 1.5 cal / g.

whey protein isolate

This sports supplement is created by filtering milk protein. In this highly purified form of protein, almost does not contain fat, cholesterol and carbohydrates. Whey protein isolate is quickly absorbed by the body and as a source of energy for muscle work and a building material for building muscle fibers.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Human muscle tissue is 30% composed of, and in its skin - 70%. In addition, this protein is involved in muscle growth. Collagen improves skin properties, namely elasticity and smoothness, and also restores cartilage, ligaments and bones.

Vitamin premix

Premixes are vitamin and mineral supplements. The Power Pro bar contains the following vitamins:

, which promotes the absorption of protein and muscle growth. Suppressing the secretion of cortisol, the vitamin creates an anti-catabolic effect and protects muscles from damage.
Vitamin PP. Nicotinic acid, as this vitamin is also called, improves the nutrition of the body by accelerating the movement of blood and the entry of proteins and vitamins into it. In addition, oxygen supply increases and metabolism improves.
stimulates muscle activity and increases the body's resistance to hypoxia.
Vitamins B5. Regular consumption of foods rich in this micronutrient improves the state of the central nervous system and the departments responsible for the brain-muscle connection.
Vitamin B6. Pyridoxine, also called Vitamin B6, is the most important for athletes among all B vitamins. Firstly, because it is the only vitamin that is closely related to protein intake and absorption, and secondly, pyridoxine is directly involved in muscle growth.
Vitamin B2 include in sports nutrition because of its ability to improve muscle activity during sports.
Vitamin B1 or thiamine is involved in the formation of hemoglobin, which is part of red blood cells, thus, a sufficient supply of thiamine provides oxygen transport to the muscles.
or vitamin B9 has a positive effect on the digestive tract and is involved in the synthesis of muscle proteins.
Biotin. Lack of vitamin B7 in the body can be the reason for the slow growth of muscle mass, as it plays an important role in the metabolism of amino acids, as well as in the processes that provide muscles with energy.
ensures the normal functioning of the central nervous system, the metabolism of carbohydrates and stimulates muscle growth. It is believed that vegetarian athletes must take this vitamin additionally.

In addition, Power Pro protein bars contain a small amount of corn balls, flavoring and dye E120.

in a bar does not contain lactose, gluten and sugar.

Who benefits from sports bars

Some professional trainers feel that buying protein bars is not worth it. They recommend buying whey protein powder, which is half the price. In addition, protein powder can be selected with a minimum amount of calories, carbohydrates and fats.

However, bars benefit from their compactness and ease of use. They are indispensable on trips and hikes when there is no opportunity to drink a protein powder shake. And not everyone wants to mess around with shakers.

Protein bars help to cope with the desire to eat sweets. If you "harm" the body, so with benefit!

This snack is also ideal for those who want to gain muscle mass. You can eat these bars before, during and after training. In addition, after an intense workout, they will help restore the supply of lost energy.

People who lead an inactive lifestyle
People with hypersensitivity to components
Pregnant and lactating women

What I liked about Zero Bar by Power pro

First of all, I liked the compactness of the bar. I spend a lot of time on the road, there is not always time to stop and have a bite, so the convenient shape of the bars allows you to do it literally on the go.
When you're hungry, you're more likely to eat something unhealthy. Protein bars will cool this impulse. Moreover, they are quite satisfying, well satisfy hunger.
I have tried two flavors of Power Pro bars: wild fruits and creme brulee (Crème brulee). Even though I prefer fruit flavors, I liked the creme brulee flavored bar more. Of course, it is not as pronounced as in ordinary chocolate snacks, but I did not expect this from sports nutrition. Despite the neutral taste, the feeling that you still eat dessert is present. Consistency is like toffee. Viscous sweet.
I've tried eating bars right after a workout when I'm really hungry! It was not possible to feel a special surge of energy, but the desire to eat something sweet immediately disappeared.
Since I don't eat meat or fish, I like that you can get extra protein with this bar.
I would not replace a full meal with a bar (which the manufacturer does not recommend), but it can be used as a replacement for the harmful sweets we are used to.

WHY DO YOU NEED PROTEINS?

Proteins are indispensable building blocks of our body, a source of nutrients. They are made up of amino acids that are produced by our body and come from food, so we must take protein daily to maintain our body. Protein will help maintain muscle during exercise, a strict diet, and in everyday life. You need more protein if you exercise regularly, want to increase muscle mass, lose weight, and as you get older.

WHAT IS LACTOSE INTOLERANCE?

Lactose (also known as milk sugar) is a complex carbohydrate that makes up approximately 28 percent of milk solids. We need lactose mainly during infancy, and so often in adulthood, the human body does not produce the lactase enzyme needed to break down lactose, leading to lactose intolerance. Today, almost 75% of the world's population suffers from lactose intolerance.

Like all BioTech USA products, Zero Bar is made from safe, carefully selected ingredients.
