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.
