So on Saturday I finally found the new Mars and Snickers protein bars in a local supplement shop.
I picked up 1 of each (as well as a bottle of Walden farms calorie-free strawberry syrup).
The taste? I have to say they taste good. And they taste a lot like regular mars and snickers bars.
But the protein blends suck! These aren’t good bars for promoting muscle growth, guys.
- The largest source of protein in the mars bar is Hydrolysed Collagen.
- The largest source of protein the snickers bar is soy protein. See here for more on the “crappiness” of soy.
Fact is, you’re better off with a Quest bar.
Or if you’re in my neck of the woods, a Tesco or Asda own brand protein bar. They’re mostly high-quality whey and milk protein.
Bottom Line: You might want to try these once for the novelty factor. Apart from that…AVOID.

4 Ways Alcohol Hinders Muscle Growth
My last article focused on how alcohol will seriously impede your fat loss goals. Here, I’ll give you the skinny on alcohol’s affects on muscle growth.
Mark, do you count the carbs from sugar alcohols?
@Aaron. Yes actually, you do. Many companies subtract them, but that is marketing to reduce the carb count. They ARE carbs and the carbs and calories DO count. The only carbs that don’t count are from fiber.
Still can’t find the Tesco branded protein bars, when was last time you bought them?
@Mick. Seriously? They’re there mate. Look like so http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=286063118
Ask one of the workers if you can’t see them.
