Are protein bars fattening?

Question

I'm playing football (2 a days at the moment) and having 2-3 protien bars a day

Answer 1

With that much football and activity absolutely not....you're actually going to need all those extra calories to maintain and build muscle.

Answer 2

some of them are!

Answer 3

since you play football, id say no

Answer 4

if you eat alot of them youll gain weight

Answer 5

If you consume more protein than your body uses to rebuilt muscles and tissue then it is converted to fat.  So yes, if you over-do it then they can be fattening  

Answer 6

Everything is fattening if you eat too much of it. What counts most (assuming your diet is reasonably balanced) is the total calories in and the total calories out.
