The decision of when to eat a protein bar depends on your objective. If you are looking to fuel your upcoming exercise session, dampen hunger, or sustain yourself until your post-workout meal, we advise eating a high-protein bar approximately 1 to 2 hours before your session, giving at least one hour for digestion.
If you are looking to capitalise on the protein content of OTE bars to aid muscle repair, we recommend eating one within the first hour of completing your workout. This is the optimal time for muscle recovery, plus the carb intake will mitigate soreness.
