Protein bars: Nutrition Facts and Calories

Protein bars are convenient snacks designed to provide a source of protein. This category includes a wide variety of bars, from those marketed for sports nutrition to those positioned as healthier alternatives to confectionery. When choosing a protein bar, it's helpful to check the nutrition label. Pay attention to the amount of sugars per serving; the NHS Eatwell Guide recommends limiting free sugars. Also, consider the salt content, with adults advised to consume no more than 6g per day. The ingredient list can offer further insight. Look for protein sources listed early on. If you prefer bars with more fibre, check the nutrition information for this, and consider bars where whole grains or whole foods appear high up in the ingredients list. Some protein bars may be high in fat, saturated fat, salt, or sugars, and may be subject to HFSS regulations regarding their placement in store and promotional offers.
