In today’s busy lifestyles, meeting your exercise and nutrition goals can be a real challenge. That’s why protein bars and cookies have become so popular. Combining the convenience and flavour of an on-the-go snack with the protein and nutrition you need to reach your targets, protein bars provide a crucial performance boost whenever and wherever you need it. Whether you’re looking to increase your protein intake or have specific weight loss or weight gain objectives, our Trust range offers a serious protein boost while also being low on sugar, supporting lean muscle growth. And if you’re trying to hit weight gain targets, simply add a few extra Trust High Protein Fusion Bars to your daily intake. Whatever your objectives, try USN’s convenient, guilt-free and delicious protein bars for the ultimate on-the-go energy boost.
Protein bars are a quick, easy, and delicious way to boost your protein and energy levels and fit naturally into a healthy, macro-friendly diet. Our Trust High Protein Fusion Bars contain 20 grams of protein per bar, but only 1.5 grams of sugar. Protein bars are a convenient source of protein, which is crucial in both building and preserving muscle mass. That’s why they’re so useful for people looking to build muscle and can be eaten both before and after your workout. Protein bars are also great if you’re looking to add weight during a bulking phase, as they provide a quick and easy source of extra protein to fit in between meals.
How many protein bars should I eat a day?
The amount of protein bars you should eat depends on your goals and the types of activities you’re doing. If weight loss is your focus, 1 or 2 daily protein bars =may be enough to support lean muscle maintenance while running at a calorie deficit. If you’re looking to gain muscle mass, consuming 2-3 protein bars a day can help achieve your objectives, as muscle building requires more protein. Of course, your protein bar consumption must be part of a rounded macro diet, as protein bars alone cannot provide all the vitamins and nutrients you need. If in doubt, check with a nutrition specialist who can advise you on the optimal approach adapted to your specific needs.
When should I eat protein bars?
Protein bars such as our Trust High Protein Fusion Bars are particularly effective before and after your workout, giving you that all-important energy boost and helping to build muscle. What’s more, as a delicious and convenient snack, protein bars can be eaten anywhere, anytime to give your protein levels a boost. Note that if you are consuming more than 2 bars a day, it is generally recommended that you consider spacing the times when you eat them. This is because our bodies can only digest a certain amount of protein at any one time, so spacing your consumption will help optimise your intake.
What are the positives and negatives of protein bars?
Protein bars have a range of benefits, from supporting muscle building and weight loss to helping you reach your recommended daily nutritional intake. Of course, they’re also very convenient, fitting perfectly into today’s hectic lifestyles. They’re the perfect way to boost energy levels before and after your workout. On the negative side, many protein bars are high in sugar, which can undermine the health benefits and add potentially unwanted calories to your diet. That’s why we developed the Trust range of protein bars, which offer a significant protein boost with low sugar levels, providing an ideal guilt-free and delicious on-the-go snack.
Why are protein bars so high in calories?
Protein bars are often high in calories as protein itself contains 4 calories per gram. This high protein level is essential as protein is the key ingredient that supports muscle repair and growth. However, it’s really important to take note of the ingredients in protein bars, as many are also packed with sugar which will increase the calorie count without offering any health or exercise benefits. That’s why our Trust Bars are so low in sugar – giving you the protein you need for muscle building or weight loss without any unnecessary extras.
Which protein bar is best?
The key factors in the quality of a protein bar are its ingredients. The best protein bars are those that contain a good amount of high quality protein. All of the bars in our Trust range have at least 15 grams of high quality protein per serving, giving you that much-needed muscle growth lift. Low sugar content is also important, as you may be keen to avoid adding unnecessary calories. Finally, don’t forget the importance of taste! Protein bars should also be delicious, which is why our Trust range covers a variety of flavours including salted caramel, chocolate caramel cookies, dark chocolate, and triple chocolate, ensuring that your post-workout boost tastes great in addition to being healthy.
What are the best protein bars for weight loss?
When looking for protein bars to support weight loss, there are two key factors to consider. First, they should have high protein content. This is because when you are burning calories through exercise, increasing your protein intake will help support muscle maintenance and growth. It’s also important that the sugar content is low, to avoid adding unnecessary calories to your intake. This is particularly effective when combined with a strength or resistance training workout. By combining high protein levels with low sugar, as in our Trust High Protein Fusion Bars (with 20 grams of protein and only 1.5 grams of sugar), you’ll be supporting lean muscle growth, which can be a crucial part of hitting those weight loss targets.
Is it better to take protein powder or bars?
The choice between protein powder and protein bars depends on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and goals. Protein powder is particularly useful as you can flexibly adapt the amount of protein you consume and easily combine it with other meals. As for protein bars, the main advantage is convenience. As a ready-to-go product, they offer the perfect energy and protein boost whether you’re on the move or hitting the gym. And of course, once you’ve tried our Trust Cookie Bars, you’ll quickly realise they’re delicious too!
Can protein bars be vegan?
Yes, protein bars can be vegan. For example, our Trust Vegan Brownie Bars provide exactly the same amount of protein as our Trust Cookie Bars (15 grams per bar), with the only difference being the kind of protein used. Namely, our vegan protein bar uses a scientifically formulated vegan protein blend (combining pea protein, hydrolysed wheat protein, and soy protein) ensuring that whatever your diet, you can take advantage of the convenience of on-the-go protein bars.
