I've been snacking on protein and energy bars before workouts lately, and its become a habit. Plus some of this stuff tastes great!

:I rly? everyun i talks tuu says it aint taste so guud. whai aint u just bai sum steaks?

eat cow yum! :D

Steak ish good, but too much red meat links to cancer XD, I do eat the "MOOOOOOO!" sometimes, but just for snacks before a workout, I will have a protein bar, ish yummy!!!:3.........well depending on the brand

The only energy snack that I didn't find nasty are those honey stinger waffles, although if you're trying to build muscle then Whey protein shakes are the way to go

Energy bars and Protein shakes and bars will do much more harm to your body then help I could spout a shit ton of facts and shit but I have better things to do with my time and it would just drag on forever

>>5 That is why moderation is the key. Its like with anything in life, not too much, not too little. Snacking on a energy Bar/shake once in a while after an intense workout may actually boost muscle recover and do good, but constantly stockpiling on protein will harm the body, especially the kidneys. Protein strains the kidneys if you have too much.

MODERATION!

As long as you restrict it to before exercise, then it's fine. The protein just needs to be used up - if you let it stagnate, that's when it becomes unhealthy for you.

I actually do like these - they have an odd taste sometimes, but it's chocolate. Can't go wrong with chocolate.

...Okay you can. But that is beside the point.

>>8 exactly, if you use up the protein for protein making and fat burnig in your body, then its actually good, and YESH, CHOCOLATE!

So what kind of Protein Bars do you people eat, pictures will be nice.
