5. Granola Bars

It’s surprising to find this kind of food on our list. Nevertheless, we do not recommend eating granola bars right after a workout. Opt for different types of post-workout snacks. We have got used to all the advertisements that tell us how healthy they are. Do your own research and find out more about granola bars. In fact, not all of them are equally healthy. Read the labels and make sure that the granola bars you usually purchase do not contain too much corn syrup or sodium. Some brands are rich in fats, too. Such bars contain tons of calories but no nutritious ingredients that would be worth the money you pay. Try and replace your granola bar with a banana or grapefruit.
