Energy Bar Breakdown

June 4, 2007

by POPSUGAR Fitness 67

When I walk into the grocery store, I must admit I get a little overwhelmed by the vast selection of energy bars. I made a nutritional break down comparing some of the popular choices so the decision is easier to make. If you want to see it then read more

Someone earlier mentioned about Good Easts and "Power Trip" where Alton Brown makes his own protein bars. Couple of problems with them. First, it's only 8g of protein and over 30g of carbs - hardly a protein bar. Then he uses soy - alot of it - which is known to be a bad alternative. Then he disses palm kernel oil - only because it's a saturated fat and not mentioning it's not like a meat saturated fat. So some pretty glaring errors and misrepresentations on his part, sad to say.

I just discovered these bars recently, and they are the best I've tried. They're called ThinkThin bars and most of them are 240 calories with 20g of protein. 20 grams! I can't get over that 20g thing. Sometimes I just eat 1/2 and save the rest for later. They taste great too, though some might find the texture a little protein bar-ish if that makes sense. http://www.thinkproducts.com/

the Mojo bars by Clif are amazing.. but how good are they for you? A meal replacement or just a snack?

I eat all of these every now and then, but I try to stick to eating a piece of fruit, a spoon full of honey, and a vitamin before working out.

some of the reason those are fairly high-cal is because they're peanut butter--another flavor will probably have lower calories

Luna bars are so hard to find where I live, so every time I visit my parents, I stock up at the local health food store.
