Nutritional "Quest"

in Food and Nutrition
So I'm spending the day traveling across country with my kids for their spring break and, despite being on planes, trains and automobiles for 12 hours, I wanted to try to eat healthy and stay within my calorie/macro goals. Knowing that I'd be short on time and mostly around fast food joints all day, I bought a carton of Quest bars for the trip and the for the vacation. Well, one bar at the departure gate sooned turned into two bars on the plane, then a third, a fourth....until I had consumed 8 Quest bars (and water) in 8 hours! I just couldn't help myself; they are so fricking good.

I grudgingly entered all 8 bars into MFP and voila! -- it was a pretty good day nutrition-wise. Total Cals = 1440, Protein 36%; Carbs 37%, Fats 27% -- all very close to my 35/35/30 macros. Unfortunately I also had a gazillion grams of fiber so not sure how the next few days will go....

I now have a love-hate relationship with my Quest bars....

    Quest bars look pretty good.

    I'm a fiber junkie, but 8 of these and you'll be cleansed! Wow!
