Hey there! Going to the store later- any suggestions for a (good) low calorie bar? I've tried a few that taste like cardboard & I didn't know if there was any hope for a tasty low-calorie bar or if this is more like an oxymoron? Thanks! ;)

    Think Thin Bars are excellent. My favorite is the white chocolate chip. The nut bars are good too, but I eat those as a treat.

    I had the same problem. I eat Quaker Chewy 90 calorie granola bars. Don't think its a meal replacement bar, but it is definitely a decent snack that doesn't harm you too much.

    I actually just found and am enjoying the Atkins Advantage Peanut Fudge Granola Bar. I use them mainly for a dessert or snack because they are low carb (I am diabetic) The Nutrition Facts are:

    200 Calories
    10g Fat
    240mg Sodium
    180mg Potassium
    17g TOTAL Carb
    9g Dietary Fiber
    1g Sugar
    16g Protein

    Kind of pricy at $7.00 for a box of 5 but they have been good for me

    Look for something HIGH in protein!
    I like Luna Protein bars. Also the Zone Perfect bars are great, too. Kashi makes a great bar that is a little lower in protein than the first two I mentioned, but tastes great. They are all around 200 or so calories.

    Special K Double Chocolate. I eat one for breakfast a lot when I don't have time to eat in the morning. Very filling!

    I am FOR SURE checking these out! My weakness is chocolate & it would be nice to have a less guilty lternative while using it as a meal replacement.

    I like the Fiber One bars (oats and caramel are my fav). They only have 140 calories - make a great filling snack, but I don't usually use them as a total meal replacement. I try to eat between 350 and 400 calories per meal, but sometimes I'll do the fiber bar with yogurt for breakfast.

    Good Luck!

    Special K and bars like that are packed with sugar. Look for something high in protein and lower in sugar.

    I try not to eat bars too much; prefer to eat real food if I can. But, in a pinch, I'll eat a Pure Protein (small size) bar. I haven't tried Think Thin bars. But, those look like a good option; packed with protein and no sugar.

    I agree with you on that! I don't plan on using them daily but just when I'm on the go and want to make sure fast food isn't too convenient. If I keep a bar in my car I wont have an excuse to go through a drive through. I've done really well & haven't had much in the way of fast food so I'm trying to keep it that way :happy:

    luna caramel brownie bars are also deluxe. YUM. generally any kind of cliff brand bar, i love. the cliff kids bars included!

    cliff uses cane sugar and natural ingredients rather than high fructose corn syrup; and they are high in protein, iron, fiber, and calcium.
