I got a huge box from Costco and now I see the fat content in one of these bad boys is twice my daily allowance! Is my allowance too small or are these just a total no-go item for weight loss?

    hmm, i dont know because i eat luna bars for breakfast (same company i think) and i dont go over on my fat - but that's just a suggest for you if you like the bars...luna bars are so satisfying - but of course, moderation, blah blah blah :) compare them next time you go shopping.

    "44" - I assume that's grams?

    Your daily allowance must be crazy low. Fat is good! You need fat!!

    Take your body weight and multiply it by 0.3 That is a good minimum for amount of fat you NEED.

    It's a combo pack...Peanut Butter, Chocolate, and Chocolate/PB Crunch I think.

    If you're exercising you're allowed more. Although it sounds like the #s are off. I eat them and I never had one that high. based on what you're saying, each bar has 88g of fat?

    There is no way clif bars have that much haha. I think the entry you picked was entered wrong. I suggest finding another entry instead of the one you just used. Look on the back of the packaging of each bar, they're only around 6-9g of fat for the whole thing!

    OMG you're right..thank you! I felt crazy because normally I would have put it back on the shelf if I saw 53g fat. I was just going by what MFP said when I added it to my day. I will see about correcting that info. Thanks all!!

    I LOVE Cliff Bars but I do hate how they have 23 grams of sugar and MFP says only to have 26...... Needless to say I go over on sugar pretty often.

    I think you are miss reading something. Clif Bars only have 6 or 7 grams of fat in them.

    Are you looking at the fat per 100g by any chance on the bar wrapper?

    I think my biggest error was looking for "Cliff" bars instead of "Clif" bars. I looked at the entries with the correct spelling and they all seem to have the nutrition info logged correctly.
