high protein bar perfect for anybody wanting an alternative source of protein
when on the go.
These indulgent bars are available in 5
fantastic flavours which include; Lemon Cheesecake, Chocolate, Almond Vanilla,
Strawberry Vanilla and Apple Cinnamon.

The My Bar Zeros are perfect as a
convenient snack throughout the day or to consume around your training sessions
to increase your protein consumption. They are a great snack for anyone with a
sweet tooth and looking for a great-tasting, high protein bar.

On paper it looks like a great breakdown
for a protein bar on a cutting diet, the carbs and fats are low and the protein
is pretty good. The protein itself comes from milk so this would not be ideal
for the lactose intolerant among you.
Taste
I had the chocolate flavour and it wasn’t
the best tasting protein bar out there. It was usually melted onto the wrapper
and a pain to actually eat. Whilst it is technically a bar it has the consistency
of nougat and is soft and flexible. I wasn’t overly keen on this bar but some
of the other available flavours look promising.

Results
Protein bars are supposed to fill the gaps
in your meal plan or be a quick fix if something goes wrong. They are also
usually absolutely delicious, not too great on the nutritional breakdown and
carb heavy. MyProtein takes a crack a “diet” protein bar.
My Bar Zero actually has a pretty great
nutritional breakdown providing a decent 19.6g of protein and low carbs and
fats to keep you on track with your beach body aspirations. So you wouldn’t need
to worry about ruining your carb cycle or any other diet I can think of. This bar
could be slipped into most cutting diets.
Coming in at about £1.67 per bar they aren’t
quite as cheap as MyProtein reputation might have you believe but they are
still cheaper than the majority on the market. No side effects were experienced
whilst eating My Bar Zero.
The only real thing letting down My Bar
Zero is the taste but I don’t see how an Apple Cinnamon bar could be anything
but delicious so maybe try that one instead of the chocolate. All things
considered My Bar Zero is a solid choice to fill any gaps in your cutting diet.
