One of the problems that my personal training, nutrition coaching and fitness bootcamp clients face often is “where to get healthy food!” One suggested solution is protein bars.

One of my fellow coaches from Texas, Luke Leaman pointed me to this article at consumerreports.org.

by coachjon on March 7, 2009

No matter who it is, personal training clients, athletes, group training clients – Everybody needs to think about what they eat.
