Protein bars are typically designed as a convenient way to support muscle repair after exercise. They come with various different ratios of protein, fat and carbs and wildly differing levels of sugar and additives.Most health organisations in the UK worth their salt, so to speak, recommend that you don't exceed 2.5g, or 2,500mg, of sodium each day. The Pronto's 37mg offering is, then, pretty minuscule when compared to Veloforte's own electrolyte powder which provides 350mg per serving. Taste Then there's the Avanti, which I'd argue is an even more crucial choice of bar for those who, like me, suffer from low sodium levels during intense rides. It contains 37mg of sodium to help replace salt lost through extreme sweating, so it's good if you sweat a lot (more so on hot days), or if you're more susceptible to losing salt through your sweat.

With each bar containing about 40g on average, Veloforte recommends consuming a third of a bar every 20 minutes to keep fuelled on longer sessions. But there are moments when it pays to incorporate an energy bar into your fuelling. Here are three of the best: Pre-run At Veloforte we believe real food is always a better option than heavily processed and synthetic foods. Energy from natural sources is more appealing, tastier and more enjoyable to eat. Eating real food can help ward off painful bloating, wind and the stomach upsets that are common with synthetic bars.But, and it's a big but (ahem), the Veloforte bars genuinely make eating on the bike (or off it) more enjoyable, and easier, and I think that's definitely worth paying for.
