Here’s another little fitness post, despite my dwindling love of the gym I’m really trying to eat well to compensate for not trying as hard in my training. If anyone has any ideas for switching up training routines and for something new and fresh to try, let me know!

In my daily diet I aim for around 90-100g of protein, so a protein bar or a shake are great additions to the usual amount of eggs, nuts, meat etc that I eat on a day to day basis. As far as protein bars go, these Quest bars can be quite confusing as they advertise on the front that they’re only 3g of ‘net carbs’ which means carbs from not fibre. This might confuse people because they do actually have over 20g of carbs but the majority are from fibre. So, if you’re a macro-counter like me, that’s 20g of my carbs gone in a ‘protein’ bar. The protein is obviously really high being over 20g in each bar which is a great little boost to hitting targets.

Flavour-wise, if you like chunks in your protein bars like bits of cookie and choc chips, these respective flavours are great for that. The cookie and chocolate flavours always seem to win out in protein bars for me if I’m honest. I’m not so keen on the fruit flavoured ones, such as the lemon meringue pie from this selection wasn’t for me. I prefer these bars to taste bad for me, I think! Have you tried Quest bars? What did you think?
