My boyfriend eats them. I saw they were on sale and picked one up. Good or Bad? I want opinions!

    I have been looking for a quick way to add protein after a workout and I picked up two of these to try too, so I hope the opinions aren't too bad!

    I say there somewhere in the middle. They're not terribly bad, but for the amount of calories in them, you could eat a lot more "regular" food.

    But if I were extremely pressed for time, or on the road, i'd consider it.

    Good for breakfast if you're really pressed for time, and planning on working out that day (lots of carbohydrates and calories) - a great source of energy, though.

    yes cliff bars are amazing i love them. for a few reasons!
    they provide a very good protein boost
    without the bloated feeling!
    they're probably the best tasting protein bars I've ever had, and I tried a million
    they're vegan and really good for you, I remember reading the ingredients and there aren't any fishy ingredients ! so go for it!:)

    I use them when I'm hiking for a pick me up (I'm talking a 3-4 hour hike). I love the chocolate brownie and crunchy peanut butter the best.

    I get the Clif Builder bars when they are on sale at the supermarket for a buck a bar. They are a great mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack for me.

    They're great if you're looking for ways to increase your calorie intake in a healthy way. They're pretty packed with nutrients, but not that filling. If you're restricting calories, you could definitely find more volume for the calorie amount elsewhere. In that I mean you could eat more 'real' food (e.g fresh produce) compared to one little bar.

    I eat the Cliff Builders because it has 20g of protein. I like them because there portable and work in a pinch to get in calories n protein .And they taste good. I like the Peanut Butter and Choc Mint.

    I dont know about using them if your trying to loose weight. I suppose you could use them as a meal replacement because there high in calories. About 270.

    I dont know about the other bars Cliff offers.Just check out the nutritional info and see if its some thing that works for you.

    Good luck

    Pure protein bars are much better for watching calories...they are 180 cals and 20 grams of protein so it sticks with you forever and i think that makes them like 50 cals less than the others...smaller bars but more protein

    Pure Protein bars have only a couple grams of sugar in them as well, but they make up for that in sugar alcohols, so people who are sensitive to sugar alcohols need to be careful.

    I prefer Pure Protein bars when I want a lot of protein, with fewer calories and less sugar. I think that they taste like awesome, dense candy bars and they fill me up for a good chunk of time.

    Clif Bars come in a lot more flavors, every last one of which I've tried has been very tasty. They do have a higher sugar and calorie count, but I tend to use them more as a meal replacement on the run kind of thing moreso than a snack or supplement bar within the day.

    And I have pretty much the same feelings on Luna Bars that I do on Clif Bars.

    I only pick any of them up when they're on sale for a buck or less per bar.
