I could have had fruit but decided to go with the bar. The thing I don't like about the bars is that they are processed.

This morning I dusted off my roller blades. Fast Food - Are Protein Bars Really Good to Carry. I have a meridel pack with about 24 ounces of water; I had a backpack with snacks such as protein bars and fruit.

When you choose a protein bar, choose one with at least 10 grams of protein and less than 10 grams of sugar. Watch out that they are not made with unhealthy hydrogenated oils.

As far as healthy snack, I categorize them as somewhere in the middle. About an hour and a half into this activity I started feeling hungry. The serving I had was enough to tide me over till my next.

I stopped and ate a protein bar. If you were standing next to me while I was putting on these skates, you would have seen the excitement like a kid on Christmas morning opening gifts. I skated by myself and good thing I was prepared. You see, it's been a very long time since I've skated at all.

I had my music player ready and was all set for a long session.
