hey i just got one question....

[110%]

i heard a post earlier saying it isnt taht great to eat a protein bar every day. i eat one ever day because they are easy to carry around and also i am in school, it is a meso-tech bar. is it really bad, is this true if so why?

First, based on all the nutrition bars I've had, the Meso-tech bar chocolate flavor is the best, in my opinion. I do not think that its bad to eat a bar everyday, especially if your eating over 2500 calories a day, because you may get tired of "real" food. Personally, I would rather eat a low-carb bar instead of a meso-tech bar. Meso-tech bars have too many carbs in them. I like to eat my carbs from low GI sources, excluding postworkout. A suggestion is the Nitro-tech bar, they taste amazing, especially for a low carb bar. I also just had designers choc triplement and those taste great too. One problem with bars is the lack of fiber and on a positive note, the Nitro-tech bar has 2 grams per bar according to the label(choc.flavor, the only one I've tried).

it's all relative...

I only eat them ( i haven't had one in over two months) when I might be on the move that was unexpected and may not have time get something decent to eat.

so. instead of accepting the fast food, I just eat the bar. for example, if i'm staying over someplace else or I'm driving to some other town for a party . Other than that, I don't like the bars cuz they have sugar alcohols, fake sugars, and usually near chocolate coating. all three aren't particular great by themselves, and getting all three together is even worse.

Also, they're very expensive. I would recommend mixing cottage cheese with cereals, nuts, and peanut butter and so forth and keep it in tupperware to carry around. Taste good and very nutritious, and very cheap
