Nutritionist Olga Panova talked about the potential risks associated with the frequent consumption of protein bars. According to her, such products can cause serious health problems, especially with excessive consumption.
Main Risks
Panova noted that protein bars can:

The expert emphasized that it is important to carefully study the product's composition before purchasing.
Sugar and Artificial Additives
Many manufacturers add a large amount of sugar, syrups, artificial components, and flavorings to protein bars. As a result, these snacks become regular sweets with a small addition of protein.
Recommendations
Panova advises not to replace full protein meals with protein bars. The diet should include whole foods: meat, fish, eggs, dairy products. For a healthy person, one or two bars a day is sufficient.
If there is no opportunity to eat, protein bars can serve as a temporary solution, but they should not be overused.
