Protein bar question

[anarki]

Would they be good as a meal replacement to help in losing the fat calories or should I just add them to what I normally eat? Sometimes I don't get a chance to work out in a day so is it ok to still eat them on off days?

The only time I would eat one is when I don't have access to real food. Say I'm in a car on a trip or stuck in my office or something. They really aren't a diet food. You'd be better served to eat a piece of chicken or can of tuna instead of a protein bar if you are worried about calories.

Just check out the nutritional content on some of those bars and then decide whether or not you want to eat them.

Ya, they are pretty high in calories. So I'll just eat them when I go out partying and there isn't anything even remotely healthy to eat. Thanks a lot guys.

Way too high in cal's for me... I never eat them b/c of that reason..

They have fat also.

[bigdawginCO]

i avoid them cuz the majority of the fat in them is saturated, bleh

[Jester]

They are loaded with fat... and processed foods. Some bars list thier protein content from Glycerin. Do you know what Glycerin is? It is ground up and liquified ears, feet, snouts, etc.

Honestly with most of them you might as well save 3 dollars and buy a candy bar .i'm not impressed with the nutritional content in most of em.

lacy hit it right on the head 3BUCKS to hell with that a protein shake is the way I go, and if I am dieting, no chocolate no candy none, not even the carb free crap, all it does is make me want more, and if I cant hack the diet I sure cant hack the weights. oh and onerep is right just go with the tuna.
