I was looking on Ebay and there are auctions for 100 power bars for only 15 bucks. Are protein bars good for bodybuilding because i have heard they arent?

They are generally a glorified candy bar with substandard protein sources, very saturated fat laden, and if not high in sugar, probably loaded with sugar alcohols. I'd save my money and invest it elsewhere. Their are many threads floating around in this forum with home made protein bar recipes that are supposedly very good.

i found one protein bar that seems to be good for post-workout. i run track and i came across a snickers marathon protein bar, 26 grams of protein, 17 grams of sugar and 4.5 grams of saturated fat i believe. if your an athlete its good for quick nutrition and its cheap only a dollar around my way

explain to me how there junk. there cheap and have a good amount of protein and carbs for postworkout. no bullcrap about the sugar either because your body actually needs the sugar post-workout to replenish glycogen stores. perfect to fuel your body after a tough workout/practice

I can explain it to you in three words:Originally Posted by KiltiesAthlete

The fact that your body needs to replenish glycogen stores after working out is not an excuse to eat junk."The strong do not simply survive...the strong prosper and flourish."

First, follow BigNasty's advice. Then, look at the ingredients. The protein #1 isn't all that high of quality. AND just because there is protein in it, that doesn't make up for all the other nasty ingredients that are in it. Most of them are highly processed. I've actually found one good commercial bar that I am going to start a topic on.Originally Posted by KiltiesAthlete

bignasty your real tough talking junk behind a computer, really tough. many college track coaches said its good to eat that bar right after practice for a quick boost, then a hour later have a meal with carbs+protein. im going by what i heard so kiss my ass bignastyd.

Yeah enjoy your palm kernal oil and whatnot.
I believe there is one company that actually makes healthy protein bars, but they are a little more expensive.
Also, don't buy'em off eBay.....they will more than likely be expired (i've heard people saying its happened to them). Just a word of advice."I think if you're alive and you want to be into something, you should be nuts about, or nuts about something else. Don't be half way about anything, because life is too short.

I eat a protein bar every month as some sort of cheat. It's the only cheat I have as well (always looking for the bars with least sugar and bad fats). I agree you'd better spend your money on powders, and make your own bars if you wish.

I've only seen one company that makes a decent one (Jayy Bar), and it's somewhat low in protein. You'd still be better off, economically and nutrition wise, to make your own batch at home.Unaffiliated.

Ingredients: Soy Protein Isolate , Whey Protein Isolate , Peanut Flour , Calcium Caseinate , Caramel , Corn Syrup , Sugar , Skim Milk , Glycerin , Milkfat , Palm Kernel Oil , Lactose , Salt , Natural Flavor , Milk Chocolate , Sugar , Chocolate , Cocoa Butter , Lactose , Skim Milk , Milkfat , Soy Lecithin , Artificial Flavor , Polydextrose , Soy Nuts , Glycerin , High Fructose Corn Syrup , Corn Syrup , Peanuts , Tapioca Starch , Salt , Sucralose , Natural Flavor , Vitamins and Minerals , Vitamin A Palmitate , Tricalcium Phosphate , Magnesium Oxide , Ascorbic Acid , Vitamin E Acetate , Niacinamide , D-Calcium Pantothenate , Ferrous Fumarate , Zinc Oxide , Pyridoxine HCL , Riboflavin , Thiamin Mononitrate , Folic Acid , Biotin , Cyanocobalamin
The first ingredient is soy protein, which should be a tip off as to the bar's quality. Corn syrup? Don't think so. Glycerin? Found in beauty products. Milkfat? Saturated. Palm kernel oil? Cheap and processed with the vitamin E of palm oil stripped out. Soy lecithin? The kind used in this bar is low grade. Soy nuts? Gee, there's more soy than peanut in this "peanut flavored" bar. High fructose corn syrup? Hits your body hard, particularly around the abdomen.
Btw, most high school track coaches have no clue about real sports nutrition.forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=527284

Seriously Kilties....
Come on man, you dont actually think that snickers protein bars are "good" for you. There are lots of other natural foods or even supplements for that matter that have better nutritional value than bars.
But hey, if your track coach says this is good for you because it has a good amount of protein and carbs, then i am going to go eat a huge bowl of ice cream and add some protein powder....I mean, this should be good for right.
Get your facts straight man, stay away from most of the protein bars out there.
