Nature Valley Granola Bars...how often?

One of my favorite snacks is Nature Valley Honey & Oats Granola bars. I LOVE THEM! However, I realize it's not so good to have granola all the time... How many times a week should I have granola bars for a snack?

Thanks guys!

    If you love them, have them as often as you can fit them into your calorie and macro allowances. They may not be the best ting out there as far as nutrition and food quality, but there are things that are much worse.

    I have a pack in my desk. I eat them for breakfast sometimes - more often if I'm out of Greek Yogurt. They don't look that bad nutritionally to me. Some fiber, some protein, some fat. Less sugar than my yogurt LOL.

    I love them too, they're one of my favorite foods to have as a side for lunch and I eat them every other day... plus I take a couple on hikes when I need a snack on the trail. I have not had a problem at all with that.

    I also eat Nature Valley Granola Bars several times a week. I eat them as snacks, not to replace any meals. I eat the crunchy or the square thins. Plus I still eat granola in my yogurt. I'm in the maintaining not losing stage though.

    Too much sugar for me, that stuff is basically a glorified candy bar. Eat it in the morning as a treat every now and then if you really need to/

    I have a ton of them (or had) stockpiled from using coupons, getting them so cheap I HAD to buy them. haha. I try to eat them only a few times a week because they're 190 cals, but sometimes I'll have them less or more.

    You can never have too much granola, I think. :wink:
