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.

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

The general rule of thumb is if they taste good they are crap.

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!

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?

damn bastards! They are tricking people! The fractionated palm kernel oil is like trans fat!


I am trowing these things away, the are the devil...


what a waste. I work out at the gym to only fill my body with the worse after I work out, I am angry



Posted by: njc

there is no substitute for good real food and the nutrients and quality proteins and complex carbs that they provide

i wouldnt throw your bars away as you have already paid for them and in a moment that you find yourself hungry and have not the option to prepare a healthy meal they would be better than skipping a meal or grabbing any fast-food meal. Thats the only thing that I think they are good for, moments of convenience. And if you are hungry and its meal time you are better served eating anything than nothing, usually
