A Rundown on Nutrition Bars 

 

Maintaining a sensible eating pattern throughout life, combined with regular physical activity, can help a woman maintain a healthy weight with which she feels comfortable. This might seem easy to read, but with today's hush and rush of life, women have been left with a lesser time to think about their nutrition.

Result being an increasing use of ready-to-eat nutrition bars (Energy Bars, Protein Bars, Diet Bars, and Meal-Replacement Bars) to provide the body with much needed nutrition. The best part about these bars is the convenience -- after all, they're neat, they're small, and you can grab one during a work break.

Nutrition bars go by many names including:

• Meal-replacement bars- contain proportionally higher amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

• Energy bars- contain more carbohydrates,

• Protein bars- are simply higher in protein, and

• Diet or weight loss bars- claim to contain fewer carbohydrates.
