OPTIMAL USE
The perfect mid morning or mid afternoon snack.
Because these are low in carbohydrates, we don't recommend you use them either directly before or after exercise - Protein 33 Bars are more suitable as workout or sports fuel.
Please note: due to the fibre and polyol content, excess consumption of Carb Less Crunch Bars may have a laxative effect - our suggested maximum intake is two bars per day.
THE SCIENCE
Protein is essential to virtually every function your body performs to stay alive – and is also an important consideration in weight management and weight loss eating plans as well.
Foods and snacks that contain protein have a higher satiety, keeping you fuller and more satisfied so you suffer less from cravings. Protein is also metabolically expensive – which means that your body uses more energy to process protein than other macronutrients – making a high protein bar the perfect snack when you’re watching your weight.
Horleys Carb Less Crunch bars use ingredients such as maltitol and polydextrose, which have minimal impact on blood sugars and insulin response. While they are still metabolised as nutrients, they have a relatively low calorific value compared to sugars and other carbohydrates. The total calorie count includes them.
