They are usually pretty easy to digest 1-2 hours before a workout or help with recover as well. They can help you carbo load, but keep in mind you don't need to carbo load for anything shorter than 2-3 hours. I'll have to make a separate post on carbo loading!

Is there a better alternative? Just curious, it seems to work well but I'm open to a better suggestion!Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12884872656036478814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803713776854595677.post-914210061012312042014-02-23T14:53:16.769-05:002014-02-23T14:53:16.769-05:00Cheese, Nature Valley bars won't have as much ...Cheese, Nature Valley bars won't have as much protein (4g from the 2 bars). This could definitely work for a pre-workout snack if it's close in time to the workout. Clif Crunch bars are very similar to the Nature Valley crunchy bars. The carbohydrates are similar to some of the bars (29g), but not as high as the Clif, Power Bar Harvest, or Pro Meal. <br /><br />Kellog's Nutrigrain bars only have 120 calories, 24g carbs, and 2g protein. That will last you about a mile. If you paired it with a yogurt or something else, it could work as a snack but not enough to carry you on it's own. <br /><br />Clif Mojo has 12g fat, 6g sat, 20g carbs (3g fiber, 10g sugar), and 8g protein. Probably best for snacks during the day instead of pre- or post-run because of the higher fat, lower carbs.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820967795000781142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803713776854595677.post-91718282606073392212014-02-17T22:17:03.102-05:002014-02-17T22:17:03.102-05:00I <3 Lara bars.I <3 Lara bars.
