I agree. Protein bars are not an ideal food. In fact it should be illiegal for many of them to call themselves healt food items (cough Snickers cough). If you are going to have them check the ingredients and sugar content.
I keep some around for 'emergency' use only. When I'm on a road trip or something of the sort and I just don't have a better option I'll settle for a bar. The keyword being settle. You're always better off going with a real meal - a lean protein, a starchy carb and a fibrous vegetable. Its more work, but definitly worth it. Plus, you'll save cash in the long run.
