Going Overboard With the Energy Bars

Energy bars are designed to refuel the body during workouts that last longer than 60 minutes. These are usually high in calories that can range from 350-500 calories, but people don't see them as actual food, therefore, grabbing "an actual meal" after the workout.

Use your calorie intake wisely and opt for natural food instead. Focus on fruits, vegetables, and grains for carbs; poultry, fish, and red meat for protein; and nuts and avocados for fats, these have more vitamins and nutrients.
