    meah, I tried them I don't like them. Honestly if you want to add fiber and can't stomach things like broccoli, green beans, and all the other green foods that have good fiber in it. Also a cup of coffee, tea, and water has it :D... Try adding some "Metamucil powder" to your food, it doesn't have a flavor but adds fiber. :)

    Just curious if anyone knows for sure if Fiber 1 bars are indeed good for you. I saw them advertised on The Biggest Loser and so I assume they are.
    I usually go for the 100 calorie bar but not always. I also eat the Dark Chocolate and the Oats & Chocolate.
    I am kind of concerned about the sugar. Yes, it has Whole Grain Rolled Oats, but the chocolate chips contain sugar.

    I'll give you the info from the Oats & Chocolate:

    Calories: 140
    Fat: 3.5 (1.5 Saturated)
    Sodium: 80mg
    Carbs: 26g
    Fiber 5g
    Sugar: 13g
    Sugars: 13g
    Protein: 2g
    Iron: 4%

    What do you all think? Anyone else eat these?

    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
    We love them, but call them Fart Bars. lol I normaly have to eat two to get things going, so I just eat veggies and foods naturally high in fiber instead.

    They were on sale and I bought a few boxes for my teens lunches. I couldn't give them away to them... they didn't want them after the first day. Now I get it!

    they advertise a lot of processed crap on biggest loser. Even Jillian Michaels, who used to be one of the main trainers, said she hated that aspect of it. Like Jennie-O meat?? that is like packaged chemicals with turkey flavoring... Fiber one bars aren't terrible, but they are pretty processed and have a lot of sugar. Also they make you need to poop... like... immediately after consuming them hahaha

    I usually have my Fiber One bar for my PM snack. They are alot of calories for a small bar, but I like the fiber content that holds me over until dinner time.

    I love them. You're making me want one right now. They are the healthiest option in my school's vending machines.

    LOL, that's funny and true. They get thru you fast. I have an issue with the sugar content too! That's why I traded in my Chobain yogurt for Fage. LESS SUGAR
    But I'm a chocoholic, so I can't give up my Fiber One bars, better than having a Hershey's bar.

    I prefer the Fiber Plus bars - they taste a little better IMHO (especially the dark chocolate almond ones!) and have the added antioxidants so I figure they're a bit better for me than the Fiber One brand. Like others said, technically they're not great for you since they're processed but if it keeps you from eating other junk and they fit into your calories, why not?

    Newsflash for everyone freaking out about the sugar. Sugar does NOT make you fat if you are in a calorie deficit. That is all.

    Antioxidants...yeah consider that fancy marketing. Those are Kelloggs brand(the Fiber Plus)...they are going to be basically the same thing. For snacks that will fill you up and keep you from eating junk, protein bars are FAR more effective. If you need fiber, natural sources work far better than the fiber added to the fiber bars.

    I'd stay away from them. But then again I try to make sure to stay from things with corn syrup/fructose/high fructose in them which these have. Looks like they also have cellulose which is just saw dust and another thing I try to stay away from.

    But I am with some of the others on here that If you like the taste though and it fits in your diet and calorie intake then have at it. :)

    I buy the 90 calorie ones. I think they are a good alternative for a sweet in a pinch. As for healthy...prob not so much. But yummy and they keep me full for a bit.

    Yeah! The chocolate ones are my favorite. My kids love them for school snack. The chocolate peanut butter seem a bit dry.

    I think the answer depends. Do you have enough fiber in your diet?

    If you have enough already, then skip it. You can add fiber as a column in your food tracker and see how you've been doing.
