What Makes a Protein Bar Good for Workday Focus

A focus-friendly bar pairs 10g or more of protein with named, dosed brain ingredients and minimal added sugar, not a blend that hides its doses.* The Mayo Clinic recommends looking for options with at least 10 grams of protein to provide staying power. That matters because the brain is a highly energetic organ, consuming roughly 20% of resting energy despite making up only about 2% of body mass. Fueling with protein during active hours, rather than underfeeding and overcompensating at dinner, supports steadier energy and attention through the workday.*
