Directions: 1) Before Intensive Efforts Try chunks of PowerBar 15-60 minutes before hard workouts. A whole or partial PowerBar can be eaten much closer to the start of activity than many foods. Allow a little extra time before competitions because nervous tension may slow digestion. 2) During Prolonged Events Such as races, triathlons, long hikes or other exercise that lasts more than two hours. Eat one bar per hour of activity, or break the bar into smaller chucks and eat at intervals. 3) After Your Activity One PowerBar immediately after intensive activity as a source of essential energy
related nutrients. 4) As a Snack Keep a few PowerBars on hand for a low-fat, convenient snack. Packed with carbohydrates, they will satisfy hunger for hours and provide extra energy while you´re
on-the-go. 5) As Nutrition Insurance PowerBars are loaded with vitamins, minerals and branched-chain amino acids, so they help you meet your body´s nutritional requirements.
