Consume an energy bar before starting to fuel your ride, or during longer rides to maintain energy levels. It's also beneficial to eat one post-ride to aid in recovery.
Can energy bars replace a meal?
While energy bars are packed with nutrients, they're best used as a supplement to your diet, providing a quick energy source rather than replacing whole meals, especially for athletes with high nutritional needs.
Are there specific energy bars for different types of cycling?
Yes, there are energy bars formulated for various cycling activities. Endurance bars with slow-releasing carbs are great for long rides, while those with a mix of carbs and protein suit recovery post-ride.
