I recently have fallen in love with luna bars! They were on sale at Dillons, so I decided to grab a few to try out. I haven't had all the flavors yet, but I love the texture. Anyways, I was just wondering on what everyone's thoughts were on them? They really seem to help with my sugar cravings too, since they're kind of sweet. The last couple of days I've taken one to work and had it for lunch with 1-2 servings of fruit. I don't like or really have time for cooking, and I'm a vegetarian, so I can't just make a turkey sandwich or something. I'm also not eating more than one per day. Just wanting other people's thoughts on them

I LOVE them. I usually eat 3-4 a week! I don't think they are harmful at all, and like you said, they help with the sugar cravings!0
-
I have one for breakfast occasionally. I usually get the protein bars because I'm trying to add a little more protein into my diet.0

you should be ok, they look pretty solid and not overtly caloric. I don't eat them but i looked at the nutritional info on some of them on the website http://lunabar.com/
I know what you mean about lunch, i'm lucky i can buy a veggie burger at work when i don't have time to make something to bring.0 -
I'd rather eat a real candy bar.0

I just tried them and they aren't too bad. They just might be my mid-afternoon snack.0
-
the lemon and the white chocolate macadamia nut bars are the best....they are great before a workout and they do not have the usual unhealthy crap that a normal granola bar has.0
-
my nutritionist recommended them to me as a quick breakfast or mid afternoon snack!
i love the iced oatmeal raisin. the others are soooo sweet.0 -
I haven't tried them yet, but reading all of these posts makes me want one...lol0

Wouldnt everyone in the world rather have a real candy bar?? We are trying to be better... make substitutions where we can... :noway:0 -
I love them, I have one for breakfast with my morning coffee or I will have one after my workout at the gym!!0

Some people choose to have real candy bars when they can instead of getting Luna bars...It's not a big deal, no need to be snobby...
PS I love Luna Bars. Try the peppermint or the rasberry0 -

Luna bars are amazing! I dont eat them all the time, but I have found that they help me tremendously when I have a craving for sweets. I keep a box of the Luna Minis at my office for those 3pm snack cravings!0

Luna bar...10-12 grams of sugar per serving
3 Musketeers...40 grams of sugar per seving

I eat 1-2 a week. My favorites are the peppermint and caramel nut brownie. They are a great mid-morning snack for me! Highly recommend them, but obviously in moderation0

I just started eating them after my saturday bike rides. I think they are okay in moderation. I generally like to eat food with more protein and fiber than sugar, but for what they are, I think they are a good solution.0

Thanks everyone! I didn't see the protein ones when I bought these, but would like to try them. Do they taste as good as the regular Luna bars? I know a lot of protein bars tend to have a really weird after taste. BTW I just had the peanut butter cookie one and it was delicious! I'll have to try the peppermint one too; it sounds really good!0
