Is Protein / snack bar good for you?
Protein / snack bar is a packaged food. It has about 40 g net carbs and 30 g protein per 100 g. Here's how Susta judges it — and why the answer changes with your goal.
Protein / snack bar: verdict by goal
The details
Blood sugar: Wildly variable — many 'protein'/'granola' bars are candy bars with a health label (sugar, syrups, refined starch). A few are genuinely low-sugar, high-protein/fibre. Always read the panel: sugar under ~5 g and no syrups/seed oils, or skip it.
How to choose: Sugar <5 g, protein/fibre high, no syrups or seed oils. Whole-food nuts are the better default.
How to use it: A boiled egg + nuts beats most bars for glucose.
How to store: Pantry.
Sensible portion: read the label, occasional
