Alright, i was bulking for a while and now I'm cutting for a little bit. Every now and then when I'm at work, i grab a protein bar to snack on. (This way i can get some quick calories in) The particular bar i eat has 8g of fat, 25g carbs and 20g protein. 0g of sugar, but 13g of sugar alcohol?

Yeah, i know it's a sugar substitute, they provide fewer calories than regular sugar, because they are converted to glucose more slowly...But, what about having this on a cut?

I've heard that staying away from sugar in general is your best bet for cutting...So, would sugar alcohol be something to stay away from? What are the disadvantages? I've also heard people can appear heavy eating sugar alcohol, but I'm sure this is an excessive amount...Anybody know anything?

The only other sugar i have in a day is a half cup of milk with my oatmeal. (6.5g of sugar)

Also, from time to time I'll have a diet soda...This shouldn't be a problem since it has 0 calories, correct? Technically it shouldn't impact me, since it requires no insulin to be metabolized. Or, does diet soda do something else I'm not familiar with?

Thanks for the help.
 
As long as your calories in < calories out then you should still lose fat on your cut no matter what.

Diet soda is alright- I drink it all the time; mostly just at work though because I'm bored.
 
For cuting purposes it shouldn't matter.

But in genral cuting or bulking, sugar is something you wan't to stay away from. Though if you enjoy your protien bar and your stayin in shape than keep enjoying it. It's not that much sugar, the only problem I have with that type of sugar is it gives you bad gas :bncry:
