Reply With QuoteNot at all, jonny! It's got a ton of sugar and very little protien. You'd be better off having some 'real' food or a shake or a 'real' protien bar...but the 'real' food is your best bet.

WOW !! 19gm of sugar !! That's more like a bulking post workout snack if you ask me. Like Miss L says, stick to real foods. Keep the sugar part of the carbs down low all the time.

8 grams of protein? 19g of sugar! I bet it tasted real good- but has way too much sugar and not enough protein. You are better off w/ the pure protein bars if you HAVE to have a bar. It is low glycemic and low carb!

i've found that often "energy" is code for "sugar" with bars and drinks.

Those things are good for when you are doing a high energy expendature activity(during the activity).
I eat them will I'm on a long mountain bike trek along with lots of water,I have not found one yet that tastes good.
Followed by a sport drink AND MORE WATER!!!
This is not suppose to be a meal replacement!!!
Like it has been previously pointed out,real food is much better.
Butt EH,if you can get all that potassium,sodium,carbs...in one small bar already wrapped,it's easier then bringning bananas and getting them squiched,know what I mean?

Melting isn't an option here in Phoenix!!! It'll turn into a liquid drink before you can say 'boo'.
Home-made protein shakes are an inconvenience in time, but a plus in nutrients. If you plan ahead, you'll not only save money but feed your body better!It's not just a sport, it's a lifestyle!

Sounds good man. What flavor did you have?
Honestly, its good to have it for pre workout as a source of energy. I would eat it but keep it minimal...maybe like once a day.There's no such thing as getting too big!
