Are energy bars healthy?
Carbohydrates are macronutrients that feed the muscles and brain, which the body then uses for energy, speed, stamina and concentration - all the necessary requirements of a good session in the saddle!
The purpose of a performance energy bar is to provide the necessary carbohydrate loading your body requires in the lead-up to and during significant physical exertion. This is particularly true for high-intensity workouts or long-endurance events. Think of this nutrition as a form of fuel for your body.
What ingredients do energy bars contain?
An SIS fuel energy bar contains a tasty, fruity centre, which provides 10g of fructose. Each unit delivers a two-to-one carbohydrate ratio and 190 calories. The tasty energy bar flavours include strawberry, orange and tiramisu energy bars.
Carbohydrate energy bars are crucial in maintaining and building your cycling performance. However, there are other forms of nutrients you should consider. Energy gels, rehydration tablets and protein powders all contribute to a comprehensive nutrition plan.
