in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Excluding fruit and yogurt I need a healthy granola bar. Are there any good ones out there?

    I like boiled eggs, tuna on few crackers, find your own protein or snack bar-each of our needs are different so the one I like might not be your cup of tea- oh yeah and i love tea time- few and a few crackers in the afternoons

    Hard boiled eggs, protein shakes, protein pudding, quest chips

    You could also make your own granola bars but I don't know any recipes.

    Nuts are great
    Bananas or apples stick with you too

    +1 on bananas and hard boiled eggs. I've been loving sliced green peppers too

    There are no healthy granola bars. Even many protein bars deliver more carb than protein.

    Porks rinds are pretty good. Cheese sticks, some beef jerkies are ok but many are surprisingly high carb fraction. Nuts are ok.

    Why a granola bar? You just really like them and can't find one with the macro breakdown you want? I never understand these questions. Lots of snacks are healthy, and really any of them are within the context of a balanced diet. We have no idea of your calorie, macro, nutritional goals, or even taste.

    Claims there's no healthy granola bars, then lists cheese and pork rinds as healthy snacks. Cringing so hard right now :|. Despite what Kevin Chang may have told you, apples and carbs aren't going to make you fat overnight.

    I'm partial to Larabars. They're "clean" in terms of ingredients and the flavors are amazing! Not true granola, mind you, but really great snacks.

    I am a fan of Trader Joe's "Inner Peas". Solved the salty/crunchy cravings with something green.

    Try Rise Honey Almond Whey bar. In my opinion, the best tasting protein bar ever. Really. If you haven’t tried it, you should.

    20g of protein
    16 g of fat
    13 g of sugar

    Ingredients: Almonds, honey, whey protein isolate.
