HOMEMADE SNACK RECIPES AND IDEAS (versus energy bars)
Energy bars are a convenient source of Calories for use before, during, or after exercise. Most contain about 200 calories per serving/packet. Originally intended to be a convenient energy sources for refueling during workouts, markets have developed for bars before and after workouts, for women, for those trying to lose weight, for those on 40-30-30 diets, and for those on low-carb diets. Carbohydrate is the most important and usually main source of energy for during-exercise bars. Bars marketed for recovery (after exercise) often contain protein, generally about 20% of calories. Although claiming that protein enhances recovery, the science is light. The only mineral additive that has consistently been shown to be important for athletes is sodium. Other ingredients such as anti-oxidants, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbs are of questionable value. This page has several interesting ideas for homemade snacks for cycling. They not only can provide some taste variety, but they are definitely easier on the wallet than the commercial energy bars.The recipes listed on this site are generally low or non fat (except those containing peanut butter).
