    Are they bad for me?

    i never finished the only clif bar i ever bought [and i bought it because i was starving]. but what you describe has become me and their builder bars.

    idk if they're bad for me. like, literally and physically bad. but i think they're getting to be my version of the soylent phenomenon, and i don't really like that.

    i don't expect to get scurvy or anything, but i do realise i'm getting uncomfortable with the way that i'm 'using' them as an easy cop-out from eating 'real' food.

    Cliff Bars have been my favorite since they came on the market. . . 20 some odd years ago. They're relative cheap, have great macros, and enough fiber to count for something. I'm not fond of soy, but the Coconut or Peanut Toffee Buzz. . . sometimes I just want one.

    The kids LOVE them, especially the youngest.

    I like Luna Bars in place of candy, more protein than a candy bar and I'm pretty satisfied after eating one. The peppermint and the "nutz over chocolate" ones are my absolute faaaavorite!

    Have those things (Clif bars) gotten better in recent years?

    When I tried them it was like trying to eat ground up cardboard with some only just palatable stuff thrown in..

    I hate the 3 main flavors. The nuts and seeds one is pretty good (at least to me) ... I often have half of one crumbled into yogurt in the morning, or dipped in peanut butter between running/gym and dancing.

    $11 for a box of 12 (or $1.09/single bar) at my nearby Wegmans for the standard clif bars.. So I buy those.. The other varieties (builders, etc) are priced higher.

    I like the chocolate chip clif bar. I actually just had one. Macros suck, but it was tasty. I don't like the taste of the builder bars.

    I'll use them for carb boosting post lifting sometimes. I'll generally pair it with something like a 25-30g whey shake to get my macros halfway balanced. Depends on how I'm feeling though. These days, I'm just as likely to eat a couple of apples instead.

    Yes they are tasty and I eat them occasionally as a snack . There essentially a candy bar with added vitamins and minerals. But if it fits your macros and cals for the day and u really enjoy them then go to town.

    The new nut butter ones are really good. Great for a treat! Better than a candy bar.
