For me complete protein bar is more a snack than a meal replacement. It has 20g of protein and 190 calories. The coating was tender and not too waxy like some other bars. The texture was almost too chewy which, however, softens up nicely as you chew.

Optimum Complete Protein Diet Bar Coconut 15 bars
Protein Diet Bars are meant to replace a meal for dieters, or as a healthy, low-calorie pre- or post-workout snack. They are designed with weightlifters in mind. With high levels of protein, they are meant to help you build muscle and lose fat when you are training.
Complete Protein Diet Bar from Optimum Nutrition is a revolutionary meal replacement bar for anyone wanting a lean, strong physique. As everybody knows protein is the raw material that the body uses to build lean muscle tissue. Not all protein sources are created equal. That is why ON's Complete Protein Diet Bar provides 20 grams of protein from a number of the highest quality sources. This synergistic blend is:
- Easily digested and absorbed by the body.
- Provides adequate quantities of key essential amion acids.
- Provides valuable protein microfractions that may enhance a number of body functions.
- Calcium Caseinate and Whey Protein Isolate ensures both rapid and sustained amino acid delivery in the body.
Calcium Caseinate breaks down at a slower rate than whey protein thus supplying body with a sustained protein release. It is synthesized from dried skim milk and is very high in glutamic acid.
The Complete Protein Diet Bar is now gelatin free, sugar free, and is up to 60% lower in fat. 18g of carbohydrates in each bar are from glycerine and other sugar alcohols.

What is protein?
|
|
|
Any of a group of complex organic compounds which contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and usually sulphur, the characteristic element being nitrogen and which are widely distributed in plants and animals. Proteins are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs, and each protein has unique functions - serving as enzymes, structural components, or signaling molecules.

|
Don't I get enough protein from my diet?
|
|
|
If you work out - probably not. New studies from the International Journal of Sports Nutrition show that someone who works out should ingest significantly more protein than couch potatoes.
|
|
|
|
|
Are the all protein supplements the same?
|
|
|
Protein supplements can be made from a few different source of protein. These include milk protein, egg protein, soy protein. In addition, not all protein is absorbed in the same way in the body. The better a protein is absorbed by the body the higher the Biological Value (BV) the protein is said to have.

Will taking protein make me fat?
|
|
|
No - in fact it may help you if you are on a diet. You see the amino acids in protein may help keep your blood sugar levels stabile. This is important because it keeps you feeling good all day and stops your craving for food that occurs when your blood sugar level drops. If your diet is too high in carbohydrates your blood sugar levels go though peaks and valleys. You
go from a burst of energy and feeling full to a lull and being hungry. In addition, if you are dieting, getting 17 grams of protein from a protein shake that has only 90 calories is better than getting your protein from a big meal which may have hundreds of calories.

When is the best time to take a protein supplement?
|
|
|
This depends on your diet and when you are eating foods rich in protein. Here are a few points when it is best to take a protein supplement:
- Right after a workout - this is when your body goes into a stage of recovery and growth. Having the amino acids that make up the protein is key at this point.
- First thing in the morning - because your body has just gone though 8 hours (or however long you sleep for) of not having food - so the protein levels are way down.
- Before you go to sleep - this helps prevent the protein breakdown that naturally occurs when we sleep. If you are not trying to build muscle mass then this protein breakdown is fine. But if you are working out - you want to try to minimize any losses you suffer when you sleep and your protein metabolism slows down.
