Product Review | RXBAR

🍫What are RXBARs? Protein bars that stand out for their simplicity and transparency. They are made with a short list of simple and recognizable ingredients. I think they’re a delicious way to include high-quality nutrition on the go.

•⁠ 💪 Nutritional Highlight: Protein. @rxbar is packed with high-quality protein which comes from the egg whites. Protein is the major functional and structural component of all the cells in your body; your muscles are made of protein, your immune system requires proteins, all enzymes, hormones, transport molecules, hair, fingernails, and collagen are proteins. •⁠ 🌱 How much protein do we need to eat each day? About 10-35% of our daily calories should come from protein. ♂️ Adult male (19+): about 5️⃣6️⃣ grams of protein per day. ♀ Female adult: about 4️⃣6️⃣ grams of protein per day. (1) •⁠ ⏰ On average, Americans have no problem meeting and even exceeding these recommendations. But there is room for improving when we eat protein, eating a giant steak at dinner to cover your daily protein need is not nearly as efficient as eating smaller amounts of protein at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and your snacks. (2) •⁠ 🏃‍♂️ Protein is often associated with exercise, and that’s for good reason because it can help build, maintain and repair muscle. Eat a mixture of carbohydrates + protein within 2 hours after exercising can help with recovery for building and repairing muscle as well as restoring glycogen. (3) •⁠ 💡 Takeaway: I think RXBARs are an excellent option for a convenient high-quality protein snack. Each bar provides 12g of protein from the 3 egg whites. Are you not getting enough protein at breakfast, this could be a great option. Need a simple on-the-to post-exercise snack? 🍫 —- 1. IOM.
