there is the link to see the nutrition.

I also drink ******** whey protein 3 times day.


now I am trying to lose body fat. So I do 60 minutes of cardio 2 days a week, at my target heart rate.

how many times a day can I eat these bars?

0.1428571 times per day. If that often.

If you like them I'd say eat at most 1 a day with one of your meals. Cut back on the shakes and start trying to eat more real food.

I dont really drink shakes. I just put a scoop of protein in water and drink that.

Never is best...a whey shake once or twice a day is all you need....eat real food and read the diet stickys.

Yeah protein bars contain alot of sugar and are for the most part not a lean diet food. Now it isnt bad to have around if you want a sweet snack, but dont include it in your everyday diet!

Protein bars + whey 3 times a day...

Quit wasting money on overdosing your protein

I eat at least three a day strictly for caloric reason only. It's very hard for me to get the necessary calories in so the bars are a life saver for me.

whey 3 times a day is not an over kill.


1 scoop in the morning with breakfast

1 scoop after workout

1 scoop before bed.



I eat the bar after my workout. Maybe I should not eat it at all?

If you know all the answers then why ask us?
