Answers:
Looking at a Special K Protein meal bar and I see the first things on the ingredient list are sugar and palm kernel oil (which a trans fat), how helathy can this really be?
It's loaded with sugar and only has 2 g of fiber.
Next I view the nutritional details on a Nutrigrain bar and see in the first 5 ingredients listed there are 3 sugars - High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn syrup, and sugar. 1 g of fiber for this one (fiber BTW helps to keep you feeling fuller longer). So again, how healthy can this thing be?
I would personally opt for a TLC Chewy Granola Bar from Kashi. I think they taste great, much more wholesome ingredients, 4 g of fiber, about 1/2 the sugar as the others, and a whopping 6 g of protein (about the same as an egg).
Anyway good luck in your search!
I like the banana-nut cereal bar. It's not too fatty and it tastes good. I don't eat much as it is so it's one of my favorit snacks.
Oh bro you have to try Kelloggs Special K Bars. I have been on the Special K diet and lost 9 pounds.
The 10 gram of Protein Bars Double Chocolate, Strawberry, and Chocolate Peanut butter
i think kelloggs makes them, called nutra-grain bars, in strawberry, blueberry and apple cinammon
I really like the Special K cereal bars. They come in several flavors and are only 90 calories a piece. They aren't real big, but they do taste good. I eat one every morning at my desk. The vanilla ones are my favorite and strawberry is good too.
Their protein snack bars are really good too, especially the chocolate one. I don't remember how many calories those are (I want to say like 120), but they have protein to help satisfy your hunger longer and they taste good to me. However, stay away from their protein meal replacement bars. They taste like sawdust coated in wax - yuck!!!
There are several.
My personal favorite is the Kashi TLC bars. They are awesome and good for you.
Also, the Fiber One bars, but you have to be careful, there really is a ton of fiber in them.
If you need more ideas you can always log onto sights such as Weight Watchers and look at the message boards (it is free) and you will get tons of ideas about cereal bars, etc... that are good tasting and good for you.
I like the South Beach Diet cereal bars. I've tried all four flavors and thought they were all good.
Cranberry Almond
Maple Nut
Peanut Butter
Chocolate
