goddaaaaaaaaaaamn !!!


here the link

tell me what you guys think!! this POSSIBLY cant be THAT GOOD can it?

i mean the taste, the texture, everything was delicious !!! and its 1 serving per bar!! i can eat the whole damn bar and its only 1 serving of the nutrition facts and man those facts aint bad


Serving Size: 1 Bar
Servings Per Container: 12

Amount Per Serving:

Calories 210
Calories from Fat 60
Total Fat 6g 9%
Saturated Fat 3g 15%
Cholesterol 0mg 0%
Sodium 360mg 15%
Total Carbohydrate 26g 9%
Dietary Fiber 5g 20%
Sugars 0g
Sugar Alchohol 18g
Protein 19g
Vitamin A 50 %
Vitamin C 100 %
Calcium 10 %
Iron 25 %

look at that !!!! only 6g of fat the whole damn bar !! and the bar is BIG !! u can even eat HALF of it, still feel satisfied and only consume 3g of fat, 1.5 sat. fat.!!

And it has 5g of fiber too !!! the protein isnt bad (20g)

my question is the sugar alchohol, whats with that? someone told me that it doenst spike your insulin, but it can be counted as a simple carb, meaning fat turning carbs, can anyone verify this?!

but yea !! i HIGHLY recommend everyone try this flavor bar, ESPECIALLY if your a chocolate lover like myself!!

so yea, any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated !!!

[bcaasdirty]

bah

go w/ "real" food

OR if you REALLY wanna get a 'protein bar' go the delicious route-->Detour

[Slaiv]

wa u mean go with "detour"?

[bcaasdirty]

detour bar...its YUMMY!

[Slaiv]

and it has better nutritional facts than the south beach diet bar mentioned above?!?!

i still have yet to see a meal bar that comes close

[bcaasdirty]

oh LOL

nah it doesnt, or at least i dont think it does

its a candybar in disguise LOL but it tastes REALLY good

[j4ever41]

Most people on here always say eat food instead and I do agree with that but protein bars have helped me alot when I am at work, I only have enough time to eat 2 meals at work and use protein bars to fill the gaps, I only rarely eat them at home. I usaully pick up a few metrx low sugar bars.

[Slaiv]

what really gets to me is the nutrition facts on that south beach bar !!!

its amazing!! and the bar is huge !!!!

if ANYTHING, i would cut this bar into 4 pieces and have a piece for like a dessert or something, THATS IT !!!

the taste is great, the nutrition facts are amazing, and thats it.... but yea, i would NEVER use it as a meal replacement, trust me, im all for real food anyways!!!
