The company Mars proposes new Snickers bars for sport named “Marathon bars”. Two versions (energy and protein) and seven different flavors are offered for sale.
As the rumors claimed, Snickers uses the old name of his bar and declines it in "energy bar". Indeed, Snickers was sold under the name "Marathon" in Ireland and the United Kingdom until 1990.
If these bars are actually very energetic, they are also very fat. Among the bars "energy", it is preferable to use "honey" or "dark chocolate" versions which are much less rich in lipids. Contrary to what their name suggests, I don’t recommend them for a marathon. They are much more suited for an ultra-endurance exercise to provide useful energy for this type of activity.
As for the bars "protein", they contain a quantity of protein really interesting. By cons, it is best to eat them after exercise and not as a snack because of their lipids content.
