Hi, I'm 26 year old male who works out 5 days a week. I mainly eat vegan diet so recently started eating a protein bar and a whey protein shake daily to increase my protein intake. Is it okay to consume a protein bar and a shake on days of work out?

First you should know your daily basis protein requirement for your body accordingly you should decide the doses..body to body their Protein intake will vary..plant based protein will be a better option always but before buying see levels and bio availability...soya,nuts,seeds,legumes,pulses,eggs,lean meat are also a good sources of protein.

Hello, as a doctor, I would say that it is generally safe for a 26-year-old male who works out 5 days a week to consume a protein bar and a whey protein shake daily to increase protein intake on workout days. However, it is important to keep in mind that the protein bar and shake should not be the sole source of protein in the diet, and should be accompanied by other protein-rich foods such as legumes, nuts, and seeds. Regarding your concern about most protein bars being made up of soy protein and having a high carbohydrate content, it is important to read the label and choose protein bars with ingredients that align with your dietary goals and needs. If you prefer to avoid soy protein, look for bars that are made with other plant-based protein sources such as pea protein, hemp protein, or brown rice protein. Additionally, be mindful of the carbohydrate content in the protein bars and choose ones with lower sugar content and higher fiber content. Overall, incorporating a protein bar and whey protein shake into your diet can be beneficial in increasing protein intake, but it is important to consume them as part of a balanced diet that includes a variety of protein-rich foods.

On a day of intense work out 1 scoop / 25 gm of protein powder and 1 bar is ok...but discontinue after 2 months, have other healthier options than protein bar like soyabean, legumes , sattu etc.
