Nutrition bars are handy for on the go dieters, those desiring a quick snack or a satisfying meal replacement. Hosts of choices are available in health foods stores and grocery stores. Finding the bar that suits your tastes and your nutritional needs, however, may require some sifting. Protein and fiber are key components to any nutritional bar. These ingredients will help decrease hunger and slow digestion, helping you feel fuller, longer. Some of these bars might also be pricey. Consider quality, taste when choosing a bar, and not simply price, as dollar deals are often unhealthy options made with unwholesome ingredients.
FullBar
The FullBar was concocted by Dr. Michael Snyder, MD, weight loss surgeon. The principle behind the bar is that feeling full equals eating less, which gives dieters the edge they need to avoid excessive eating and eventual weight gain. The bar should be eaten 30 minutes before meals. Consuming a bar with a glass of water is said to fill up your stomach, causing you to eat less of your main meal. It comes in various flavors, such as berry bliss, caramel apple crisp, peanut butter crunch, cocoa chip and more.
PureFit Bar
The PureFit bar may appeal to those on vegan diets. It is vegan-approved; does not contain dairy, wheat or gluten. This bar is designed to keep hunger at bay by reducing cravings. It is a low-glycemic food without artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohol (which can cause diarrhea if consumed in excess), cholesterol or trans fatty acids (which have been linked to heart complications, according to the Mayo Clinic). It is also available in a variety of flavors, including almond crunch, peanut butter crunch and chocolate brownie.
Luna Bar
The Luna bar is intended for active women's needs. Makers of the Luna bar claim that it nourishes and satisfies with wholesome ingredients. It is free of a host of unhealthy ingredients typically found in popular portion-control products, including artificial flavors, colors, corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils. It comes in flavors like chai tea, cookies and cream delight and chocolate peppermint stick. Performance foods, mini bars and Luna cookies are other Luna products made with organic ingredients for women.
