GOLEAN Chewy Bars

I am addicted to these and Clif bars! I'm worried about the GOLEAN bars because they are very high in sugar ( I'm talking candy bar high). Are they okay to have as part of my regular diet or should I treat them as occasional treats?

i think once every 2 or 3 days would be optimal..

That, although there are much better treats out there. Like dark chocolate, but I digress.

Agreed. Like you've noticed, a lot of granola bars are simply candy bars in disguise, and they usually have a lot of articificial ingredients, additives and sugar, but without the fat content a real candy bar would have (which would at least keep you a little fuller).

I eat the Kashi Chewy peanut butter and chocolate bars. Just about any one of those things is good. And they have natural ingredients, too, so I like that. When I eat them, though, I eat one as a meal replacement with a big glass of water, when I'm running errands or something and don't have time to cook a meal. They actually hold me over for a few hours, unlike Slim-Fast. There are enough vitamins and minerals and protein in the Kashi bars, I think, to make up for the fact that it's full of sugar (evaporated cane juice and brown rice syrup, but sugar nonetheless). I just think of that as my sweet for the day and try not to eat any more sugar.

The GoLean protein bar things are what I was talking about. Not the chewy granola bars.

They're called GOLEAN Chewy bars and in little letters underneath it says fiber and protein bars. Are we talking about the same thing?

yum. these are ridiculously good. the first time i ha one i ate the whole box. X)
