    Marshmallows, cotton candy and jello are fat free. Doesn't mean they are "free" for us fatties who want to wear smaller jeans. :tongue:

    Better to just have real food with you when you're at school all day. I used to keep little baggies of stuff in my backpack--jerky is great, as someone else mentioned. I also always had a sturdy piece of fruit (apple, usually) and water. I haven't tried making my own protein bars, but I think that's a great suggestion. Good luck!

    Okay?

    If it fits your macros who cares? Try this on for size:

    615 kcal
    14 fat
    113 carbs
    9 protein
    24 sugar

    OMG! this protein bar is going to make me fat! Jokes on you.














    It's a sweet potato with coconut oil.

    yeah not everyone eats as much as you, or has the same dietary needs as you. for many people 24g of sugar is almost half their daily allowance.

    if 500 cal seems high for you, don't eat it. if 500 cal doesn't bother you, eat it. pretty simple.

    That's a bit different than saying a protein bar is bad. As I stated before if it fits your macros eat it.

    Some of them are meal replacement bars like the MetRx 100 brands. Those are pretty good actually (apple pie flavor)

    some bars certainly contain inferior ingredients to other bars, but again, it all comes down to a personal preference and what you feel is "good" or "bad" for you.
