Bars

What Are Energy Bars?

Energy bars are prepackaged snacks, usually in a flapjack style, that are rich in carbohydrates to provide fast-acting energy, making them convenient and sweet-tasting. They’re compact, portable, and easy to use during a workout, providing a boost that’s digestible and lets you jump right back into your exercise.

While they can come in popular flavours and contain chocolate, nuts, and fruit, what differentiates energy bars from sweet or chocolate bars is that they refuel the body with carbs, reenergising muscles for sustained energy output, rather than a simple sugar spike.

How Many Calories Are in an Energy Bar?

Energy bars will vary in their calorie content depending on their size and ingredients. The average bar will contain between 200 and 300 calories, but it’s important to remember that these bars are designed for use during intense exercise. These calories are to replenish those that the body is currently burning.
