is unsweetened applesauce alright?

In my latest batch of protein bars I added 3/4c of unsweetened applesauce. I was wondering if this was alright.. comes out to about 3 tablespoons of applesauce Per Bar.

By unsweetened, what they are saying is that a serving has 36 grams of sugar, but there not going to add anymore to that.

I love apples. If you're not cutting, eat up.

Yes unsweetned apple sauce is alright. Look for the stuff with the ingredients of organic apples, and asobric acid (I believe this is the other ingredient ..) And that 36G of sugar (which you'd actually have to eat around 3 servings to get ..) will be the natural occuring sugar found within the apples, fructose. Which is completely fine (even if you are cutting ) So eat up!!

No. A serving (1/2 cup) has 12g of sugar.

It is fine. As long as it is calculated for in your totals you have nothing to worry about.
