Do Protein Bars make you fat?Updated a year ago

Depending on the type of protein bar you consume, they can contribute to both weight loss and weight gain.

Protein bars can be used to curb your appetite and prevent overeating while still giving you a healthy dose of protein. Therefore, in conjunction with a balanced and healthy diet and fitness regime, protein bars can contribute to hitting your weight goals.

However, protein bars can be quite calorie dense, so if you’re eating them between meals and adding more calories than you burn in a day, this can promote weight gain (Panoff, L. 2020).
