    Is this a good protein bar?

    I like to eat these throughout the day in between meals. Good idea? I am attempting to bulk up by the way.

    Bars are mostly junk in general, but here is a decent meal replacement I have used before when bulking and going on a long road trip or in a bind and cant get to real food or something like that. Taste really freakin good I can tell you that.

    Not a meal replacement at all. Just as a snack or to go with a meal.

    You shouldnt have "snacks" or in-between meals. Depending on your goals you should have 6-8 MEALS, spaced out about 2-3hrs apart with approx the same calories in each meal (with the exception of PWO).

    Balance products are for feather weights as a meal replacement.There definitely much better bars to consume while bulking, ie. above or try Detour. good luck bro.

    Horrid. Has sugar and bad macro distribution.

    Why not eat a can of tuna and a cup of oatmeal?

    Or even 2 cups of low fat or ff milk would be better.
