What should you consider when buying?
The market for protein-containing products is large. Protein bars in particular are currently in vogue and are even offered in supermarkets and drugstores. There are numerous suppliers on the Internet with large price differences both at home and abroad.
Consequently, there are also big differences in quality among the large selection of products. To make the choice easier, there are some indicators that speak for a good quality of protein bars: Amount of contained protein (at least 20g) Type of contained protein (whey protein or a whey/casein mixture) Ratio of protein to carbohydrates (protein content should be more than 50% of the bar) How much fat is contained (enough to satiate but not too much to exceed the calorie requirement) the fewer ingredients the better In principle, products made in Germany are usually subject to higher quality standards than comparable products from abroad, so that the bar made in Germany is a good indicator for a quality product. There are many sites on the Internet where detailed test reports and evaluations of protein bars from various manufacturers are available. These can be a good first point of contact when choosing a suitable protein bar.
