Protein bars unhealthy?
| Tue, 09-06-2005 - 2:25pm |
Hi
I don't have time in the morning to make breakfast. I started eating a protein bar every morning at work and the bar keeps me going till about noon or 1 and I get hungry again.
My lunch and dinners are usually light - salads, sandwiches and maybe an occasional pasta or rice dish.
I am confused as I am gaining quite a bit of weight and there is nothing extra ordinary that I am doing with food intake. Are the proetin bars causing this weight increase? Is it bad for one's health to eat a protein bar every day for breakfast?
Please advice and any suggestions for breakfast options is very welcome.
Thanks

I eat slimfast meal bars for breakfast but I think the differnce is that PROTIEN bars are for building muscle and are more like a nutritional supplemnent where meal bars are specifically controled amounts of protien,carbs,fats and calories. I would look at the labels next time you go shopping and look for a meal replacement bar rather than a protien bar. hth

Hi and Welcome,
I'm not sure, but I do believe the protein bars have higher calories.
