Weight training intensity basically refers to how much weight you will be lifting and how heavy or light that weight is for you on a given exercise.

The lighter the weight/easier it is for you, the lower the intensity. The heavier the weight/harder it is for you, the higher the intensity.

And, all of this intensity stuff is usually predicted by one thing: how many reps you’re doing per set.

Reps (short for “repetitions”) are the number of times you move a weight from point A to point B during a set of an exercise. The lighter the weight, the more reps you will be able to lift it for. The heavier the weight, the fewer reps you’ll be able to lift it for.

Obvious, I know. But, as you can see, reps and intensity go hand in hand most of the time. Meaning…

The more reps you can lift a weight for = the lower your training intensity is.
The fewer reps you can lift a weight for = the higher your training intensity is.
The reason this is important to us is because certain levels of intensity are more ideal for certain goals than others (due to factors like time under tension, muscle fiber recruitment, etc.).

And this leads to an important question: what weight training intensity is best for your goal?

Or, to put it another way, how many reps should you do per set of an exercise? Let’s find out…

The lighter the weight, the more reps you will be able to lift it for. The heavier the weight, the fewer reps you'll be able to lift it for. Obvious, I know.

...

So, as you can see:

Lower reps (high intensity) is most ideal for increasing strength.

Higher reps (low intensity) is most ideal for improving muscle endurance.

Answer:

Protein bars, compared to a peanut butter sandwich, are most likely to be <u> 1. more expensive plus higher in saturated fat and sugar.</u>

Explanation:

There are a lot of protein bars that have more saturated fat and sugar than a peanut butter sandwich. A peanut butter sandwich approximately has 3.4 g of saturated fat and 4.9g of sugar, while a protein bar may contain 9.9 grams of saturated fat and 13g of sugar. To this fact, we have to add the price of a protein bar, which is more expensive than a peanut butter sandwich and is a smaller portion, a peanut butter sandwich has 82g while a protein bar has 57g.
