if you want a quick snack, there are infinitely better options. Buy in bulk and package individual portions "to go" instead of the $2 for a fancy candy bar.

What I do when the occasion requires:

Banana chips - same as a banana but less water and travels well - source of carbs
Beef jerky - unsweetened - obviously a protein source
almonds and other unsweetened nuts
dried mangos - delicious, and from Costco

the list goes on and on.

if you stick to these dried whole foods, you cannot go wrong.




The reason this even came up with me is that 24/7 is having this big "blow out" sale on Q bars.... $25 for 12 candy bars.

It blows me away that when the candy bar company puts the word "protein" and "healthy" on the candy bar label, people swallow the bait without even noticing the hook.

It's ok to eat this candy bar, but just don't pretend to fool yourself by thinking you are doing a good thing.
