Protien Bars

[ABS2003]

How efficient are these things? We have a $0.99 cent store (nothing over .99 in the entire store) Anyways, this store now sales BALANCE bars, 2 for .99 cent. At this price I can get a box of 15 for 7.50, thats pretty cheap. Here's a nutritional breakdown of whats in them:

Calories 210
Calories From Fat 60

Total Fat 7g
Saturated Fat 4g

Cholesterol 0mg

Sodium 125mg

Potassium 125mg

Total Carbohydrate 22g
Dietary Fiber <1g
Sugars 11g

Protein 15g

40% carbs - 30% protien - 30% fat

The question is, are these a good source of on the go food. BTW my goals are to lose 10-12% bf. Thanks in advance.

Too much sugar and not enough protein for my taste, but it does come close to the 33/33/33 ratios. I would use solid food instead, for they will not nearly fill you up.

If Mr.X was to reccomend something as a snack, he would much rather have the person snack on olives or nuts. Trust me I know, I'm Mr.X
