For those attempting to lose weight, eating a protein bar can help curb the appetite and sugar cravings. As a rule, bars around 220 calories are typically the best choice. Sometimes, protein bars can be loaded with sugar — at least 30 grams or more — so, for bars to be effective, they have to be eaten in moderation. As always, a balanced diet is a key to weight loss. While protein bars can be a good source of nutrients, they shouldn’t be all that is consumed on any diet plan. At our Greenwood Village offices we carry HealthWise protein bars and shakes. We are always adding new flavors but currently we have the following:
Protein supplements can be an effective way to reach weight loss goals. According to recent studies, consuming a protein shake with meals, as opposed to between meals, might be a more effective way to lose weight with these dietary aides. Relatedly, consuming protein products between meals could promote an increase in fat mass.

Most adults need around 40 to 50 grams of protein daily. However, appropriate protein intake depends on the existing weight and general health of an individual. For those who already adhere to a healthy diet, the additional protein might not be necessary. Those who have trouble meeting the daily requirement of protein, however, might benefit from protein supplements, such as shakes and bars. Shakes can help you to feel full and ultimately eat less.
