Special K bars

Are they good for dieting? As a healthy snack? Are they actually bad for you?
Obviously they are marketed as super good for weight loss, I am not sure?

    Do they taste good to you? Can you fit them into your cal/macro goals for the day? Then yes, they are good for dieting. Just like any other foods you enjoy the taste of.
  • Delicious and low in calories but quite high in sugar, good alternative to chocolate :)

    I would not eat them because they are high in processed sugar, a complete waste of calories. If you want a sugar fix, eat some berries, greek yogurt with honey or an apple.
  • They are so tiny and they taste a like a hint of chemicals and cardboard. They may work for you if you are someone in a hurry and not much of a foodie, but I find fruit and nuts more satisfying.
  • Although I love my chocolate Special K Bars, I'd have to agree. They are essentially empty calories. But when I'm craving for that chocolate snack, I would opt for that instead of a actual real chocolate bar. Of course, having it as a treat once in a while is not a bad thing :)
