Hello, im 16 years old, i need to lose 30 pounds of fat, and gain muscle to tone my body. I lost 50 pounds before unhealthily and and loss a lot of muscle so im going to lose the 30 pounds right this time. I just joined a gym a few days ago and school started. The gym is right down the street from the school. I started yesterday going to the gym; doing 60 minutes of cardio and weight training. Such as today i did 30 minutes on the elliptical then weight training for about 10 minutes maybe then 30 minutes on the bike. Yesterday i did not have enough energy to do as much and today i felt great. the difference is i ate a protein bar about a half hr or 40 minutes before i was at the gym. Is that healthy to eat protein bars if im trying to lose weight? it had a lot of sugar and some carbs. I think that's how i got the energy to work out. am i still benefiting from doing that? will the sugar just be used as energy and i will lose weight? or the exercise i did was for the protein bar i ate? it was a big 100 bar. i usually eat cliff builders bars though, they say its all natural. is that okay if i start eating them before the gym? i really need a good answer to this, i didnt want to lose weight the wrong way again! Thanks!

You should eat half the protein bar before you workout and half after you workout. they will help you tone and build muscles. i wouldnt eat these protein bars every day though because they do have lots of sugar and calories in them. i would try to eat foods with natural carbs and protein in them, like peanut butter, cottage cheese and whole grains. if you do eat the protein bars a lot make sure you are working out when you eat them because if not it will just be stored as fat.
