Sooooo not worth it. They are tiny, gone in a second, and just not filling at all!

    I used to eat them for my snack times during my workday and I do have to agree that don't satisfy. I have actually started on the Fiber One Chewy bars. The do the trick.

    The general idea is that they are "desserts" which means they are a treat on top of your meal, they don't offer any nutritional value. I do agree however that the cost vs servings per box is terrible. I recommend keeping one (single / uno) bag of snack size candy bars around, of the healthiest thing you can find. I've found on average usually one bar is 90 calories. I keep mine out of sight and out of mind ( mine are down in the basement ) this way if I want one, I need to go downstairs and find the bag and come back up the stairs with one. Its all about willpower.

    I eat these as a treat. I nibble, nibble, nibble. It can take me a half hour to eat one if I'm slow enough. The lemon ones are very tasty and while not filling, they take the "edge" off. Someone mentioned the chewy ones. I will have to try those. Then I can chew, chew, chew.

    I have found that any type of "bar" snacks do nothing for me other than add calories to an already-quite-low calorie limit. To me, they are like expensive candy bars. In no way do I find them satisfying. A piece of fruit is more filling and, in all likelihood, more nutritious. Plus, they are designed to be quite delicious -- and I'll eat the whole box at one sitting!

    Yeah they're really not filling for what you get. They're nice if you have a craving though.

    When I have PMS and the cravings for chocolate hit, I find the 90 cal brownie hits the spot.

    Fruit has become my "dessert" or "treat", especially frozen grapes and strawberries.

    I used to eat them as an after meal snack because I love chocolate. Unfortuantely, there is something in them that gives me serious stomach problems. Same thing with regular Fiber One Bars, Vita Tops, etc. It seems like anything that has some "added fiber" makes me feel like my stomach is in knots, and it is just not good. It's a shame because I liked them. :(

    i like them for when I work, as it helps me avoid the cookies, cake, pies and candy that is always around. 90 calorie brownies that are portion controlled. Works for me!

    Yes, admittedly I eat these frequently to satisfy my chocolate craving (in lieu of opening a huge bag of peanut M & M's and trying to control myself. Not gonna happen).

    I love the fiber one brownies. The new coffee and lemon ones are great. I eat one everyday for breakfast as a side item with what I am eating. So they work for me. :)

    I absolutely love the chocolate brownies. I used it to combat cravings. It keeps me filled enough though so I guess that's good.

    I agree! Give me a double chocolate shinny cow ice cream sandwich for 150 any day.

    I'd rather save my calories and eat a real brownie than those!

    I like the Fiber One brownies....not as good as a real fudgy brownie, but pretty tasty anyway. And I agree about Skinny Cow sandwiches...yum. I would eat those even if I wasn't watching calories, they just taste good.
