And an added bonus is that there are a various amount of flavors if you don’t like one then don’t be scared because there are more.

     

PowerBar

  Now lets talk about probably one of the most popular athlete snacks out there which is called the PowerBar. This is a typical protein bar, but since it is the most used I figured i’d talk about it. So, first is that this should typically be used over a protein shake rather than doubling up. You should never double up because that is where companies get to you about their products. The reason why I say never double up is because your body will only absorb as much protein as it needs for the day. So if you eat a PowerBar before and after you workout you have just wasted $2.39. But nonetheless it should be okay to get unless you already drink protein shakes, because then it would be a waste. It does the same things as a protein shake just in a different form. So I would recommend this to you the same as a shake because they have the same effects.

     

Creatine

Now lets talk about Creatine, it is considered a better version of normal Whey Protein. But it really isn’t. The reasons why is because it isn’t absorbed that well into the body, also is that if you stop use then your body really does stop taking effects from it. Which means you will no longer be getting this boost and will have to work out normal and get your body back into its normal self again. But if you really want to take this substance then i would recommend only doing it like twice a week so your body doesn’t get too addicted or feeling normal with that in your system constantly. So I would not necessarily recommend this unless you really need a boost of energy once or twice a week

Whey Protein

Next is that i would like to talk about whey protein shakes. These are the most recommended protein supplement because its the easiest absorbed supplement out there. It comes from milk and allows you to recover faster and helps build muscles. But you also need to keep up with regular use to keep seeing results in the end because when you stop you see a decrease in its effects. But if you get to a point you want to be then it is completely okay to stop use, but you have to keep working out to keep your body the way it is. So I would say that this is okay to use if you keep up the work because if you feel you need it, then you are only adding more calories to your body and most likely will start gaining weight and hurting your kidneys because it has to process all the extra stuff it doesn't need.

Gatorade

So lets talk about the most popular drink out there designated for athletes which is Gatorade. I want to talk about this because I probably have drank this more than water whenever I have played or worked out. But the thing is that I would recommend waiting for close to the end of a game or a workout because like almost everything else it has sugar in it so you will have a burst of energy but only for a little bit. Then you will crash or lose that energy and be more tired than you would have been before. So basically, I would just recommend waiting a while until you feel you get tired or start getting fatigued.
