So I've been told to have energy bars now because of the exercise I do. I won't be able to carry on the cycling if I don't get the nutrition in. Simple really. To burn the fat you need energy, to have energy you need the cals/carbs, to have the cals/carbs you generally need sugary things.
So here is where I feel guilty and I guess why I'm putting it in the 6 month section, so as not to unduly encourage any 'bad habits'.
The energy bars I am having have (SHOCK HORROR) chocolate chips! Yes, I have ordered some others too but here's now where I can't say any more that I haven't had any chocolate/biscuits etc. Because these are like biscuits and have chocolate. I know I know, I'm being silly. But it's been a big thing for me. I'm sure I'll get over it.
They are 50g bars. All figures per 100g
kcal 389
Protein 14.7
Carbs 66.1
of which sugars 30.8 (There goes my 15g per100 limit :8855
Fat 7.3
0f which saturates 2.9
Then a whole host of good things. Vitamins etc.
But then I'm not 'dumping'. But I'm telling myself that it's because I am working off the sugar as soon as it's in there, that's why I can have such high levels.
