Protein Bars

12.

No.

For now, we're only offering full boxes but may be able to offer individual bars in the future!

Each bar contains 240 calories, 20 grams of protein, 24 grams of carbohydrate, 9 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of fat.

Because while most types of carbohydrate contains about 4 calories per gram, carbs from fiber and erythritol contain less.

Specifically, insoluble fiber contains no calories, soluble fiber contains about 2 calories per gram, and erythritol contains about 0.2 calories per gram.

Thus, to convert the bar’s macros to calories, you need to differentiate between the grams of carbohydrate that contain 4 calories and those that contain less.

They’re better, duh! ;-)

The first thing you’ll notice is how much better our protein bar tastes and feels in your mouth. It’s fresh, moist, and chewable, and many customers say it tastes more like a candy bar than a protein snack.

We’ve also taken special care to ensure our bars are easy on your stomach, which is often a problem with other naturally sweetened, high-fiber protein bars.

And while you may not realize it, your body and muscles will appreciate that we’ve used only high-quality sources of protein (whey and pea protein) instead of cheaper options like milk protein, calcium caseinate, and soy protein.

If you have a sensitive stomach or something in our bars just doesn’t seem to sit right with you, there are three things you can do:

1. Keep eating the bars and see what happens.

   If you’re new to our bars and are experiencing gastrointestinal distress, you might find that after a week or so of eating them regularly, your stomach adjusts and symptoms simply disappear.

2. Eat the bars less frequently.

   For instance, some people find that one bar every 24 hours or so is perfectly fine, but if they eat two in the same time frame, their stomach will get upset.

3. Eat the bars slower with more liquid.

   Instead of slamming bars down in a few bites with no liquids, try eating them slower while sipping on a beverage in between bites.

We decided to use a blend of whey concentrate, milk protein isolate, and whey isolate because they’re more or less equally effective for gaining muscle and together produce an outstanding texture and mouthfeel (better than whey alone and whey plus micellar casein, which we also tried).

You can certainly find cheaper protein bars, but what are you getting for your money?

In many cases, you’re getting bars that...

1. Contain low-quality forms of protein, like calcium caseinate and soy protein.

2. Contain a number of other undesirable ingredients, including corn syrup, maltodextrin, artificial sweeteners, dyes, and flavors, and other chemical junk.

3. Taste mediocre at best, and often much worse.

Our protein bars are different.

They contain 20 grams of a blend of some of the highest-quality types of protein you can buy: whey concentrate, milk protein isolate, and whey isolate.

What this means is every gram of protein in every Legion bar you eat can be efficiently and effectively used by your body to build muscle, recover from workouts, and support health and weight loss.

They also contain 9 grams of prebiotic fiber, which supports your overall health and well-being in a number of ways.

Additionally, our protein bars are naturally sweetened and flavored with stevia and erythritol and contain absolutely no fillers or artificial sweeteners, flavors, dyes, or other chemical junk.

That doesn’t mean we skimped on the taste, either.

We worked on samples for nearly a year to ensure that every bite of our bars is savory, moist, and pleasantly chewable. Our goal was to create a bar that tastes like high-protein candy, and many of our customers say we’ve done just that!

Technically, each bar contains about 15 grams of “active” carbs, but that doesn’t mean you should only “count” that many if you’re tracking your macros (macronutrients).

Although the 9 grams of “nonactive” carbs are from fiber and erythritol and contain fewer calories than the “active” carbs, they still contain calories.

Therefore, if you want to be as accurate as possible in your calorie and macro tracking, we recommend you simply count all 24 grams of carbs in each bar.

Yes, but not in a “bad” way.

Your blood sugar levels will rise after eating one of our bars, but the increase will be relatively small and sustained, meaning there won’t be a crash or other negative aftereffect.
