| Hey guys, i'm looking for a good brand of health bars. The best tasting one I have found are the Tiger Milk bars, but I don't know how they compare to other brands. I can't handle the taste of most bars (Met-rex), but I can compromise. Any help appreciated. |

| what are you looking for in a "health bar". I perfer not to eat bars unless i make them myself. most bars are actually packed with sugar. So your goals and diet would denote what type of bar is 'ok'. |

Gender: | Protein bars are best used when traveling and you can’t stop or prepare real food. I would not eat those as part of a regular diet. By the way, I like the Met Rx. |

Gender: | Like X said I would turn to them as a last resort, but when I buy them I don't even care about taste anymore as I am more concerned with the macronutrient breakdown. In general, the better tasting they are the worse they are for you... kind of like a glorified candy bar. Good advice is to look at what the first few ingredients are on the labels..for alot of the bars, such as Met-Rx Big 100 bars, Corn Syrup is actually number one or two on the ingredients list! Not exactly the kind of carbs I want to be consuming in the middle of the day. So just look at the ingredients and use that in combination with what your goals are to see if a bar is really going to benefit you or hurt you. |

Gender: | Btw, the ones I take are the "AdvantEdge® Carb Control Nutrition Bar" just because of the ingredients and I am limiting my carb intake. Not the best tasting bar on the market, but they get the job done. |
