If your goal is to lose fat and improve your physique, worry less about your heart rate, your insulin, and avoiding carbs.
Focus on the total quantity of calories you're eating by either tracking those calories, or by focusing on eating more "real" food vs. processed foods.

Here's our "rule" to make sure your protein bar is actually a legit source of protein.
Take the grams of protein, and multiply by 10.
That number should be greater than or equal to the number of calories in the serving. If not, you know that not many of the calories in the food are truly coming from protein, since there are 4 calories per gram of protein.

Don't! Get moving! Warm up, and give it a shot. The exception to the rule is if you're so sore you can't safely execute an exercise. In that case, find a modified version, or swap the movement out for another one.
Don't just skip your entire workout because you're sore.
