Protein powder vs protein bars. Who will win?

So, you have once again had a good workout in the gym and with a sense of accomplishment, move on to the rest and recovery phase...

I don’t know about you, but after a good workout I’m wildly hungry! I am attacked by such a glutton - I could probably overpower an elephant, in a deliciously cooked form... It is about the peculiarities of a bodybuilder’s diet after the training process that we will talk about in this article...

I would like to correct myself right away: the elephant in this context is a metaphor.

Naturally, eating fatty meat in large quantities is unlikely to benefit anyone. Especially for an athlete who adheres to a strict diet and counts every extra calorie.

What then to eat after a well-done workout? We need a high-protein product with an extremely low fat content, and for these purposes, good old protein powder has never been better suited for us. We throw a couple of spoons into a glass, dilute with milk, orange (or any other suitable) juice, well, as a last resort, if you don’t have anything at hand with water - that’s it! An excellent high-protein meal for an athlete is ready. At the same time, we took the simplest path. By adding additional ingredients, you can make a so-called protein shake - a drink that is more serious and tastier than just diluted protein. Read more about cocktails, their recipes and features of preparation and reception in this article.

But the question is, what if you don’t have a mixer at hand? Or the protein powder was left at home, where we won’t be getting to soon, and due to our busy schedule we can’t have a good snack after a workout. What to do? Is it really possible to stay hungry? - there is an exit! Fortunately, manufacturers of modern sports nutrition have taken into account such possible options. For very lazy or very busy athletes, there are so-called protein bars, which you can read in more detail in our specialized section, and at the same time get acquainted with the estimated cost of this miracle. In fact, this is something like a chocolate bar or waffle, like for children - only for adults, already pumped up children. Well, the pleasant taste of the product will not leave sculpted and lumpy guys and girls indifferent. In a word, a pleasant dessert that lifts your spirits and sports nutrition for muscle growth in one bottle.
