Ken,

first and foremost, they suck in terms of good nutrition value.

but to directly answer your question...heard of protein powder? kinda like nestle quik powder, except it has a bunch of protein in it...not just sugar and cocoa.

well, a protein bar is the same thing...lots of companies make them under a million names. they all contain the same kind of whey protein powder, and other stuff to bind it together into a sort of 'candy bar' style product.

unfortunately they just aren't that great for you. usually full of simple sugars and fats...which aint' good if you're trying to lose fat off yer body.

there are recipes around here for making your own bars with protien powder, oatmeal, peanut butter, and a few other natural ingredients. Still not 'perfect', but considerably better as a 'convenience food' for those on the go.
 
Malkore is right most of them are just glorified plain old candy bars with some protein thrown in. I would only use in a pinch where you couldn't get real nutritional food. But be careful and look closely at the ingredients, stay away from the sugars and saturated fats.
 
yeah ok i see now thanks. So those Nutrigrain bars and other snacks aren't very healthy then.

Also i was just wondering at this time which is summer i have a job so i would eat 5-6 times a day but what if school starts and i have to go to class everyday and basically sit all day till i get off, do i still have to eat same amout with 5-6 meals a day??

Thanks
