Favorite bars (not for drinking hahaha)

So one of my big things when it comes to eating are bars...there are so many out there, they are quick to grab on the go, are tasty, and on the lower end as far as cals are concerned....

so what are your favorite granola/cereal/energy/other bars to eat?

I personally love Luna Bars before  agood workout and I don't know why, but I am a HUGE fan of cereal bars like NutriGrain bars or Kashi's newer soft cereal bars for 110 calories....

when I want more of a dessert thing I like Kudos bars yum  and also those pop tart to go one'

Larabars are the best. I also like Clif Zbars and Kashi TLC bars.

I second the Lara Bars! I literally have one or two every day.

I used to like Clif and Luna bars, but they tend to have a lot of added sugars and other questionable ingredients.

I like the chocolate peppermint stick luna bar, peanut peanut butter kashi granola bar, and cinnamon roll larabar. They make good stuff. : )

Larabars, Nak'd bars, Trek bars. For sure. :]

Personally, I like Luna Bars.  I also really like the Quaker "Oatmeal to Go" bars.  I find both very tasty and really filling.  Either makes a decent breakfast if I only have a minute to grab something out of the kitchen before I have to leave in the morning.

For me, Lara bars are tasty but not remotely filling.  So, if you needed to gain weight, I bet they'd be a great tool but as someone trying to lose weight, I don't bother with them.

Luna Bars and Lara Bars are my favorites. (:

Kashi TLC bars are pretty good too.

Chex bars...It's like I'm eating a candy bar.

I like the Rasberry Chocolate from South Beach Diet 100cal.

The Medifast mint chocolate chip fills me up nicely at 110cal. as well.  Expensive though. 

I haven't tried luna bars yet...maybe I will.

I love luna bars! I havent tried larabars, but i really want to.

As for luna bars, there sooooo good and usually have chocolate or some sort of icing on them XD. They taste especially good when warmed up in the microwave for 10 seconds. The chocolate brownie tastes better then a real brownie, and the pb cookie one tastes like a pb cookie so yummy!

beckkkahhh: wow warmed up in the microwave?? i have had them frozen but never hot.. sounds really good. any flavor in particular good warm?

Luna bars are great...very tasty :) However when I want something more filling I go with Muscle Milk Light bars. 160-170 calories, 15g of protein and about 4g of fiber. They remind me of a candy bar! Also, South Beach High Protein Cereal Bars are great too, my favorite is cinnamon raisin

I go with Spiru-tein bars. they're really good, but until I read about Muscle Milk Light Bars, I thought I had a super low calorie high protein bar (150 cal, 10 grams protein). Thanks for the reccomendation shapes44, sounds good.

By the way, can you purchase them at a GNC or other nutrition store?

I adore the Safeway "Eating Right" brand nutrition snack bars.  Here's the stats on the chocolate caramel crisp (which tastes to me like a decadent candy bar, and is so chewy it takes a long time to eat though it's really small)

I LOVE Odwalla bars! When I was working for my college's summer language program last year I used to get those at the cafe all the time (instead of going to the dining hall for french fries... :) ) I love the...I forget what they're called...but I think they have spirulina in them? They were kind of green with banana flavor.

Kashi and clif bars

Snickers are hard to beat.

I used to eat Luna bars all the time and love them but I find I need a little more variety now.  I love the snickers marathon and energy bars.  I also eat Special K bars now when I'm hungry but don't want a lot of calories - only 90 cal's per bar.  I'll have to try the larabars, never had them.

I have tried a couple different flavors in the Dr. Adkin's Advantage line. They are pretty good but I only use these as a meal replacement bar when I am in a hurry.  I have not tried the Lara Bars.  Where can you buy these? At Wal Mart?
