Bars

What energy bar to choose for cycling?

To choose an energy bar adapted to cycling, follow these tips:

• Balanced nutritional composition : look for energy bars that provide an adequate balance of macronutrients. They should contain carbohydrates for energy, proteins for muscle recovery and healthy fats.

• Carbohydrate content carbohydrates are the main source of energy for cyclists. Opt for bars with a sufficient amount of carbohydrate, ideally between 30 and 60 grams per bar.

• Proteins : proteins help to muscle recovery. Choose bars containing about 10% of protein for a nutritional balance.

• Fibre content : fibre can help with digestion, but an excessive amount can be difficult to digest during the exercise. Search for bars with a moderate amount of fiber.

• Personal taste and preferences : opt for flavors that you enjoy. If you do not like taste, it is unlikely that you consume them during a bike ride.

• Packaging Facility : the energy bars must be easy to carry and open during cycling. Make sure they're convenient on the road.

• Allergens and food intolerances : check the ingredients to avoid any allergen to which you might be sensitive.

By keeping in mind these criteria, you can select energy bars that bring you the energy you need for your bike adventures without sacrificing the quality of your nutrition.
