ProBar Training

Frequently Asked Questions

• What ProBar products are best for endurance training like trail running or long hikes?

  ProBar Fuel and other energy bars are designed for sustained calories and complex carbs, while ProBar Bolt chews and real fruit gels provide quick-digesting carbs for mid-effort refuels. Choose higher-calorie bars (200–400 kcal, 20–45 g carbs) for long outings and gels/chews when you need fast absorption and lower bulk.
• How does ProBar Bolt compare to ProBar Protein for long runs and recovery?

  ProBar Bolt chews are formulated for rapid carbohydrate delivery with minimal fat, making them easier on the stomach mid-run, whereas ProBar Protein bars contain more plant-based protein and fats for post-workout recovery or ultra-distance fueling. For long runs you might use Bolt for on-course energy and a Protein bar afterward to aid muscle repair and satiety.
• What nutrition facts should I prioritize when choosing a ProBar for a hike versus a tempo run?

  For hikes prioritize higher calories, moderate carbs (20–45 g), more fats (5–15 g) and some protein for sustained energy and satiety; for tempo runs prioritize quick carbs, lower fat, and easy-to-digest textures to avoid GI distress. Also look at sodium (100–200 mg) and potassium if you expect heavy sweating to help maintain hydration and performance.
