Thanks to its high-quality protein blend, and the carbohydrates that are also present (~ 22g), the 6D PROTEIN BAR is extremely suitable for athletes who prefer a quick and tasty “snack” instead of a shake after an intensive exercise effort. The 6D PROTEIN BAR will also stimulate protein synthesis more effectively than almost any other protein bar. Although most protein bars do contain more protein (e.g. 20-25g), these proteins are often derived from an inferior protein blend with a large fraction of wheat protein and/or collagen, which contain hardly any leucine!
Moreover, protein intake is not only important immediately after exercise. The positive effects of protein on muscle growth and recovery are further enhanced by taking at least 20 grams of protein every 3 to 4 hours during the day. With the 3 main meals, this protein dose can easily be obtained from protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy products or plant-based meat substitutes. A high dose of casein protein (e.g. 40g) is the most suitable protein source to take before bed because of its sustained release profile (see 6D NIGHT PROTEIN). In this context, the 6D PROTEIN BAR can also be used as a protein-rich snack in the afternoon. If no protein is ingested in the afternoon, a period of 5-7 hours between lunch and dinner would occur, which is not optimal. However, do know that the 6D PROTEIN BAR also contains a total of 237 kcal due to its size (60g/bar). Athletes who strive for weight loss, or who are sensitive to weight gain, should therefore choose the 6D WHEY PROTEIN (± 130 kcal) or 6D VEGAN PROTEIN (± 145 kcal) as the basis for their protein-rich afternoon snack.
