    The question should be is it sugar or high fructose corn syrup? HFCS is the devil and I avoid anything that has that ingredient. I even read the label on bread to find the one wihout it. With that being said, you would be better off having cocoa roasted almonds (to hit that chocolate craving) or a piece of fruit. I struggle with the "healthy" vs "good for my weight loss" issue everyday. I strive for healthy that is also good for my weigh loss. Tricky, tricky subject. Good luck!

    They are super sweet... I do not personally like them, and yes they are processed but if they quell your urge for something sweet do it up! Like some said in earlier posts...make sure you drink lots of water or going to the bathroom could become a bad adventure. :embarassed:

    Too many preservatives for me. Also, they are too sweet for me. :) I prefer to add benefiber to my drinks or eat fiber tablets made by fiber choice. Good luck!

    I treat them like a dessert essentially.

    Define "good"?

    Everyone has a different opinion on that. What's yours?

    I like Fiber One bars. They fit nicely into my schedule. I take a whole box to work, throw them in my drawer, and when I'm running around like a crazy person and I don't have time to eat lunch, I wolf one down.

    But then... I eat "evil" processed food all the time.

    I don't know how good they are for me. But I keep one in my backpack at all times. Because if I am starving in between classes its either a snack bar I have in my backpack or a bag of chips from the vending machines.

    If I have access to other foods such as veggies or fruit, I'd rather snack on that, but in a pinch, I'd love a fiber 1 bar.

    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.
