Sport Eat Natural Bars - Info

Hey everyone.

any one tried the Eat Natural range?


The bars are amazing and claim to be made from all natural ingredients.

for the Fruit and Nut. the ingredients are

16% brazil nuts
Gluscose Syrup
11% almonds
11% sultanas
11% peanuts
Puffed rice
8% Hazlenuts
5% apricots
honey
1% peach

per bar
223 kcals
5.8g protein
25g carbs (12g sugars)
11.2 fat (1.5 sat fats)

what do you think? i tend to have them mid morning as a snack, plus an apple. the glucose syrup worried me a little; i make my own oat and whey bars as a pre-WO snack and at leats you know where its all come from, but these are nice and convenient.

thanks

Just from the nutrition label... it is a bit high in sugar. Anything with sugar higher than 20% of total carbs is too much sugar. That combined with the apple you are thinking about... well that's a lot of sugar

On the flip side, it's not the worst food I have ever seen either.

Math: 25g Carb = 2.5g equals 10% so 5g equals 20%. Anything over 5g sugar for this bar is too much. This bar has 12g of sugar of 50% of the total carbohydrates.
