RAW Nutrition Protein Bar

A high-protein bar from RAW Nutrition, the brand co-founded by Chris Bumstead and built around straightforward formulas.

What a protein bar is genuinely for

Worth setting expectations, because bars are often bought for the wrong reason.

A protein bar is a convenience food, not a health food. It is a manufactured product, and no bar beats chicken and rice on nutritional grounds.

What it beats is the realistic alternative:

Skipping the meal entirely, which is what usually happens
A vending machine or petrol station
Arriving home starving and eating far too much
A chocolate bar — the honest comparison for most people reaching for one

Against those it wins comfortably, and consistency across a week matters more than any single meal being ideal.

⚠ How to read a protein bar label

This is where bars mislead most, and the checks are simple.

1. Sugar alcohols and "net carbs." Many bars advertise low net carbs by subtracting sugar alcohols — maltitol, erythritol, sorbitol — from the total.

The subtraction is not entirely honest. Maltitol in particular is partially absorbed and does raise blood glucose, though less than sugar
⚠ And sugar alcohols cause digestive distress in a lot of people — bloating, gas and worse. Maltitol is the main offender; erythritol is generally better tolerated
If a bar has ever caused you problems, this is almost certainly why

2. Where the protein comes from. Dairy or whole-food protein is preferable to a bar padded with collagen or gelatin. Collagen is an incomplete protein — no tryptophan, low leucine — so it should not count toward your protein target even when it inflates the number on the wrapper.

3. Protein per calorie. A 400-calorie bar with 20g of protein is a snack with protein in it. A 250-calorie bar with 20g is a protein bar.

4. Fibre source. Chicory root fibre and inulin are common, genuinely count as fibre, and also cause gas in some people at higher intakes.

Our honest advice on buying bars

Try one before you buy a box.

Sugar alcohol tolerance varies enormously between people — the same bar that one person eats daily with no issue will leave another uncomfortable for hours. That is individual, not a fault in the product, and there is no way to know except to try one.

We stock several brands specifically because people tolerate them differently. Come and ask us — our staff earn no commission, so we have no reason to steer you toward a particular box.

Where bars fit, and where they do not

Genuinely useful:

In a bag, car or desk for the days that get away from you
Travel, where the food options are poor
Between meals when the gap would otherwise be five or six hours
As a dessert that fits your macros while dieting
Anyone who struggles to hit protein from food alone

Less useful: as a routine meal replacement, as post-workout protein where speed matters, or as your primary protein source. Whey isolate is far cheaper per gram, and real food is better.

Frequently asked questions

Are protein bars healthy?
They are convenience foods rather than health foods. What matters is the alternative — against a skipped meal or a chocolate bar, they win comfortably.

Why do protein bars upset my stomach?
Almost always sugar alcohols, maltitol in particular. Erythritol is generally better tolerated, and chicory root fibre can also cause gas.

What are net carbs?
Total carbohydrate minus fibre and sugar alcohols. The subtraction is not entirely honest — maltitol is partially absorbed and does raise blood glucose.

Should I buy a box straight away?
Try one first. Sugar alcohol tolerance varies enormously between people.

Does collagen in a bar count as protein?
No. Collagen is incomplete — no tryptophan, low leucine — so it should not count toward your target.

How do I judge a bar?
Protein source, protein per calorie, sugar alcohol content and fibre source. A 400-calorie bar with 20g protein is a snack with protein in it.

Can it replace a meal?
Occasionally, yes. Routinely, no — real food brings fibre, micronutrients and satiety a bar cannot match.

What if I cannot tolerate any bar?
Meat snacks contain no sugar alcohols at all, which is the direct solution.
