There are a lot of ways to change up your diet, like eating healthier snack foods such as a PowerBar rather than a Snickers bar. If we compare them side by side we can see why this would be a healthier alternative.

As you can see the PowerBar, in comparison, has a better nutritional value then the Snickers bar does, but it’s not just the nutritional facts that you need to look at. The ingredients also play a big role on the quality of the product, for example, Snickers uses artificial flavors whereas PowerBar uses natural flavors. The PowerBar also added oat fiber and a Trisource protein blend and if you have read one of my earlier posts you would know that protein and fiber helps keep you full and more energized longer.
