Who are the most popular companies that sell powerbars?
The term "powerbar" refers to a nutritionally rich or energy-giving flapjack-style bar. The most popular manufacturers include Promax, Balance, Power Bar and Detour.
How can one make their own PowerBars?
Energy bars can be made easily by combining one cup of nuts, one cup of dried fruit, and one cup of pitted dates. Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Press the ingredients into a thick square and chill overnight. Then cut the square into the desired size of bars.
Do you take powerbars before or after a workout?
There is no magic pre-workout meal or post-workout meal, including energy bars. The rule is: don't do anything you are not prepared to do for the rest of your life. So, unless you are prepared to use Powerbars for the rest of your life, don't use them now. The same goes for special or starvation diets or diet pills or supplements. Prior to a workout, you should have a well-balanced meal. It should be relatively high in proteins from natural sources, which will include some good fats. It should be low in carbohydrates of any kind. Our successful ancestors did not fuel their bodies with sugar, and we shouldn't either. Finish your meal 2 to 4 hours prior to working out. Vary the times to discover which works best for you. Immediately after a workout, it's a good idea to have a shake (rather than a solid meal). It should contain some protein (whey is preferable) and some high glycemic index carbs (to transport the protein into the cells). This is the one time it is not a bad idea to ingest some high glycemic index carbs. There are commercial powders available in different percentages. Experiment to find which works best for you or make your own. If you'll follow these guidelines, you'll find that they'll work better than eating so-called powerbars. .
