Ok so I don't understand the fascination with those supposedly good for you power bar things.  Have you ever looked at the nutritional value?  Yeah...not grand but then again you are supposed to eat one as a meal supplement.  Most people I know eat one as a snack. 

I recently did "The Vagina Monologues" as a charity benefit during the V-Day Campaign.  Brief summary: You get to do 2 performances max rights free so long as all your proceeds go to charity.  This year Luna Bars was one of the sponsors so, all presenters were offered the opportunity to get free samples of said Luna Bars.  BTW Luna is primarily directed to women; they up their calcium and other female friendly nutritional stuff in their product.  So I got a box full of Fun Sized bars in S'mores and Caramel Nut Brownie flavor.

Naturally I tried both kinds on seperate occasion.  Both sat in my stomach like a brick.  The S'mores bar was my least favorite.  Both kinda taste like cardboard, I don't know how people can live off of these things.  Health food should taste good and be good for you.  I wouldn't eat one every day but, I will say this: One of the fun sized bars filled me up and kept me good until lunch the other day.

My recommendation proceed with caution in the power bar area, check the nutritional value, and just imagine a taste other than cardboard and you'll be ok.

I used to eat them as a meal supplement when I was in college.  I am a pretty small person, and while I love food and can eat, it doesn't take much to fill me up.  I have always been conscious of what I ate, so if I ate a power bar I would not eat again until my next meal, except it didn't keep me full like a real meal does, so I can certainly understand people using them as a snack; but there are 90 calorie bars out there that do just that kind of trick.  And i also like the fiber one bars.

I can't eat those things, and I'd rather just eat a normal food.  My boys like fiber one bars, so I pop those in their lunches as the "treat."
