The thing is is that ppl think bars like cliff and kind should be good protein bars or a good way to lose weight but once they find out the calories they start to hate on them when in reality there meant to give you a source of energy for activities like hiking which explains the high carbs/sugar levels per bar
A cliff bar is absolutely not going to be one of the things that’s increasing your weight. At 140 calories that is extremely minimal compared to the meals most people eat
be sure to measure your calorie output as well as input to know how many net calories your body is maintaining. you can monitor gas excretion by securing a straw and balloon 🎈to each exit and measuring the difference between an empty and filled balloon in grams. dont forget to like and follow for more fitness tips 💯
@@SkepticalJoe not really both need carbs. If your just trying to be a skinny six pack ab model then yeah you need less carbs. But if your actually building muscle you need those carbs to fill out and to replace glycogen that’s been lost in your muscles
Just grab whatever protein bar is going to help you reach your total protein intake by the end of the day. Just because the carbs or fats might be a little higher than the protein, doesn’t mean it’s suddenly cancelling out or counteracting the protein itself.
Yess these are superior in my opinion. Not only are they a great source of protein with relatively low macros, but they taste like actual food. They aren’t like these Quest bars that i swear look like if you molded barf into a solid block.
@@marcosgonzales2007 I mean yeah but in all honesty most people never hit their fiber intake anyways. Everyone is usually low in it. If you’re in need of fiber then i wouldn’t focus it through your protein supplements. I’d eat some fruits, veggies, or even dates if you are focusing fiber. Most people aren’t, but some may.
It doesn't matter what rest of the macros are if I want to get some protein on the go to match my daily requirements as long as it's writin my calorie limit though lol if it's 15g protein and 25g fat, it still doesn't matter as long as I only need 15g protein and I'm not crossing my calorie count for the day
Pure Protein bars are my favorite. 22g of protein and everything else is less. I always knew about the protein rule as it's always good to hit your protein consumption every day. For me, since I weigh 195lbs, I would have to consume around 135 - 195lbs of protein
The protein-to-calorie ratio is most important. You want something with a 1:10 ratio or lower. For every 100 calories you want at least 10 grams of protein.
Hoyyyy boy. People don’t understand how much stuff we use in our day to day lives has carcinogenic stuff in it. Also, most protein bars have none to very low sugar, so that’s just factually incorrect.
Love how you teaching US!!!! Reading nutrition labels is imperative and it’s something unfortunately we didn’t learn but we can change that now!!!! Just started a fitness motivation channel for beginners if anyone needs!
Bro this was actually very useful information. I ran to the kitchen straight after 😂to sus my “protein bars” out. Thankfully it has 21 grams of protein 5 grams of carbs and 8 grams of fat. But for future reference for myself and what I can tell others this was very useful🙏❤️cheers
@@Brosuf damn those are exoensive. I get 2keepfit protein bars it comes out to 50 cents a bar with 12.2g of protein and like 11g carbs. I just eat 2 and i get more protein in for a cheap price than taking 1 bar with more protein in 1 bar
Now I understand why personal trainers don’t exactly need a college degree to become one. Clearly this dude can use some learning on nutrition and how you still need carbs and fat as your primary energy source 😢
Yes but there are also other ways of obtaining energy such as fat base dieting. For things such as working out you need a lot if protein and not as much carbs which leads you to needing a protein bar, it's not a protein bar if it has more of anything than protein. You wouldn't buy a dark chocolate bar if it's 80% milk would you? No you wouldn't because then that'll just be a milk chocolate bar. So yes, at the moment he does know what he's talking about especially more than you right now
The point is that its not really that good, they’re basically normal high sugar snacks pretending to be low calorie protein sources. Carbohydrates usually = sugar.
Exactly, if you’re trying to get protein in get a high protein low carb bar. The cliff bars for example are an energy bar not a protein bar like they put on packaging. It’s meant for intensity training before your workout. Protein bars with 20+ grams of protein and let’s say 4g of carbs minimal fats are great for post workout recovery or just as a quick option if you need to get your protein in Energy bars like cliffs and the kind bars things like that is to maintain energy. So if you’re hiking or going on a long jog you’d definitely prefer to have a cliff bar for the carbs to boost your energy
Carbs aren’t bad for you, but yeah if you’re intending to get protein then get one with a lot of protein, but also, food sources can have multiple different types of foods in. Protein bars have mainly fats, carbs and proteins, while something like a bagel with avocado or whatever can have carbs, fats and fibre. Get whatever protein bar you want. It doesn’t have to be mainly protein to give you protein
@@cosmyfication Idk what you think junk is. Some are good some are bad. 200-250 calories are acceptable for me if I get 20g protein or more. They are not comparable to candy, bars are satiating. Either with protein and/or fiber. Assuming you are not obese I doubt the canola oil or soy protein would negatively affect your body.
Imo the best way to look at "protein" bars is that its just a snack/energy refill that has a healthy balance of macronutrients. Most bars have between 25 & 40% of the calories filled with protein. If you want to make some serious gains you normally want to get like 25-30% of your calorie intake from protein. A protein bar is decent addition to your diet, but it's not going to compensate for a carb/fatty meal you ate earlier that day.
yup. I don't eat anything if it averages less than 5g protein per 100 cals and I aim to make every meal or snack 10g per 100cals. Been getting these dope protein yoghurts that are 25g for 150 cals 😋
51 years old brother, and my name is Carlos Coleman Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and I have high blood pressure. I used to be a powerlifter so I know a lot about working out but you really opened my eyes to the nutritional part of the game. Keep up what you doing stay strong take care and God bless you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!! 👍💯🍻
Remeber one thing though Carbohydrates are used to make energy for your muscles You want to be using carbs not protein to power muscles Remeber to get in some carbs
I thought this was gonna be one of those “don’t but this (affordable and available) brand cuz it’s icky! Buy this instead!” *shows $12 per bar protein plant based gluten free mmo champion bar* this is actually good advice! Thanks brother!
THE WHOLE THING lol honestly though you need to watch out with all bars due to many additives, emulsifiers, perservatives, flavorings, colorings, etc... and with high protein bars, they have a heavy amount of poor fiber and alcohol sugars...
Eating too much sugar can contribute to people having too many calories, which can lead to weight gain. Being overweight increases your risk of health problems such as heart disease, some cancers and type 2 diabetes.
This is needlessly complex. Just look at the protein to calorie ratio. Usually the highest protein you can usually find is 1g per 10 calories (10g protein per 100 cal, or 20g for a 200cal bar) If you just look at "which is the highest nutrient" you'll end up getting bars that have high protein, carbs, and fat and you could end up getting a 1g per 40cal ratio instead. (12 gram protein, 350+ calories. ) For those who are curious protein is 4cal per gram, carbs are also 4cal per gram, fats are 9cal per gram, and alcohol is 7cal per gram.
The thing about the kind bar is that it’s protein source is from whole foods like peanuts, not whey. And those fats are from the nuts. It’s not like they fried it. It’s minimally processed so it won’t make you fat…
Cliff bar was at least not originally meant to be a protein bar. It's the breakfast bar equivalent to a swimmer eating 5,000 calories in carbs from pasta. It's designed to give you energy that you are going to burn off. If you aren't going to burn it off don't eat it.
Saturated fat, found mainly in meat and dairy foods, contributes to clogged arteries and cardiovascular disease. But monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, found in plants and healthful oils, actually protect your health by improving your cholesterol profile. Fat has little direct effect on blood sugar levels.
Only protein bars you need are quest and barbell. Quest is cheaper, more accessible, and has more flavors. Barbell tastes better, is more expensive, and less flavors, and really only available online or at select stores like trader joes.
There's nothing wrong with eating a high protein "carb bar" as long as the calories fit your calorie budget, there is enough protein to make it worthwhile (at least 15g come on, bro), and if you eat it as a part of your pre-workout meal. About 30-60 minutes before working out. Also, fat is actually really healthy for you, but it's best to get it from whole food sources. The whole "avoid fat" mindset is in an effort to keep calories intake low. But again, set up your meals every day so they are as close to your daily calorie budget as possible. MyFitnessPal comes super in handy for this.
Yo but those Clif carb bars are phenominal for a pre-cardio snack. If you plan in doin sime intense cardio, absolutely destroy a clif bar before you get that cardio on, you got yourself some sustained energy brah. Bonus points if you grab White Chocolate Macadamia nut or Peanut Butter Clif bars.
@@JFat5158 superman had the right idea. All we need is sunlight to survive. Food and water is unnecessary and actually shortens your lifespan in the long run
I checked the ingredients and it got vegetable and sunflower oils in it 💀 I don’t wanna go into a lot of details, but if you want a decent bar - get the organic ones from local businesses. They expire pretty quick, but usually are made of 5-6 ingredients and delicious af
Well, it kinda depends. Sometimes you dont need a lot of protein from a protein bar. If you just worked out and depending on your demographic you may want more. What i’d look out for is fat content sure because it might slow down digestion post workout when you may not want that. If its not post workout, fat content doesn’t matter too much if you ask me. It adds significant calories though so that may factor in though. If your watching them may consider that but if trying to gain weight, thats a good things. Another thing to look out for is ingredients and the QUALITY/TYPE of protein. Some forms of protein are inferior to others. Go for collagen/whey/egg/pea/hemp/gelatin protein. Go for anything but soy protein please xD But also some forms of protein aren’t as bioavailable and only a small percentage of them might be used for the muscle. Eggs are top grade source of protein for this purpose, fish as well. Casein kinda ranks a bit lower in that regard. Whey is decent, collagen/gelatin should be top of the line as they are literally used for the musculoskeletal system. But again also look at ingredients. They should be simple. No soy based emulsifiers, no terrible oils like canola, soy, cottonseed, safflower. I’d only wanna see olive, avocado, coconut, or red palm oil, and there may be few other i’m forgetting. Sesame oil is good too but you probably wont see that in a bar.
Absolutely nothing wrong with those if you're not using them as your main source. A good way to get some calories in and a little bit of protein to contribute to daily total.
Cliff bars arent meant to be meal replacement, or any bar for that matter. They're meant to help fuel your body during exercise. Not snack on durring a diet
Very very subjective and objective. As long as you hit the protein goal ALL of these bars don’t matter. You can have any of those as long as your track it and make room for them.
There are 4 calories per 1g of protein. This means the highest quality protein bars would contain a 4:1 ratio of calories to protein. The closer to this ratio, the better the quality of the protein. 25g of protein should be close to 100 calories, while additional calories are the contribution of sugars and fats (both contain 9 calories per 1g). It doesn't mean you're a failure as a person if your bar contains more, it's just some low calorie food for thought to consider.

I checked the ingredients and it got vegetable and sunflower oils in it 💀 I don’t wanna go into a lot of details, but if you want a decent bar - get the organic ones from local businesses. They expire pretty quick, but usually are made of 5-6 ingredients and delicious af
Well, it kinda depends. Sometimes you dont need a lot of protein from a protein bar. If you just worked out and depending on your demographic you may want more. What i’d look out for is fat content sure because it might slow down digestion post workout when you may not want that. If its not post workout, fat content doesn’t matter too much if you ask me. It adds significant calories though so that may factor in though. If your watching them may consider that but if trying to gain weight, thats a good things. Another thing to look out for is ingredients and the QUALITY/TYPE of protein. Some forms of protein are inferior to others. Go for collagen/whey/egg/pea/hemp/gelatin protein. Go for anything but soy protein please xD But also some forms of protein aren’t as bioavailable and only a small percentage of them might be used for the muscle. Eggs are top grade source of protein for this purpose, fish as well. Casein kinda ranks a bit lower in that regard. Whey is decent, collagen/gelatin should be top of the line as they are literally used for the musculoskeletal system.
But again also look at ingredients. They should be simple. No soy based emulsifiers, no terrible oils like canola, soy, cottonseed, safflower. I’d only wanna see olive, avocado, coconut, or red palm oil, and there may be few other i’m forgetting. Sesame oil is good too but you probably wont see that in a bar.
Thank you for making it simple
Absolutely nothing wrong with those if you're not using them as your main source. A good way to get some calories in and a little bit of protein to contribute to daily total.
One Bar is nice too. 20 grams of protein, low fat, and low carbs. The maple glazed donut flavor is the best 🔥
actually really good advice, thanks bro
Great info. Thanks!!
Cliff bars arent meant to be meal replacement, or any bar for that matter. They're meant to help fuel your body during exercise. Not snack on durring a diet
It all depends what your trying to do, carbs are energy
Very very subjective and objective. As long as you hit the protein goal ALL of these bars don’t matter. You can have any of those as long as your track it and make room for them.
Protein Bars keeping you big as hell
Simple but very helpful, thank you 🙏
To be fair, cliff bars are advertised more as a sustained energy bars that a protein bar so then being higher in carbs makes sense.
Needed this video
The other bars could be good for bulking
Actually really helps, thanks buddy
There are 4 calories per 1g of protein. This means the highest quality protein bars would contain a 4:1 ratio of calories to protein. The closer to this ratio, the better the quality of the protein. 25g of protein should be close to 100 calories, while additional calories are the contribution of sugars and fats (both contain 9 calories per 1g). It doesn't mean you're a failure as a person if your bar contains more, it's just some low calorie food for thought to consider.
Clif bars are literally for people who need more carbs because they’re hiking, not for people who just grab protein bars for breakfast
“crabs”😂
Thank you for the knowledge 🙏🏽
