Question:Snickers Marathon is a new sports bar that tastse, well, like a Snickers
bar. I thought it was really good, but I figured it was probably just a
glorified candy bar. Then I compared the label to a Clif Bar (Crunchy
PB) and it seemed to be pretty comparable.
Am I missing something? If not, I'm going to stock up ($0.96 each at
Wal-Mart).
Answer:
Marathon (1970's?) --> Snickers --> Marathon again!
I enjoy them .... I haven't tried it on a long run yet. I ate one
before a workout, it seemed to work.
The snickers marathon bars do taste good. This is mainly because they
have more fat than their chewy counterparts: Powerbars. In addition,
the protein in the bar comes from peanuts vs. soy for other bars (e.g.
Cliff Bars). I think that the main thing is find what works for you
and sits well in your gut when you are logging the miles. If it
works, sits well, and tastes good that is even better.
Eat any energy bar that tastes good to you except one that contains
"partially Hydrogenised stuff or Fractionated palm oil" Those components
will clog you arteries.
