Do you eat any energy bars, cereal bars or snack bars?

Yes, I eat these kinds of bars. Mostly for a snack and not as a meal replacement though. Some of them are yummy, some of them are less yummy tongue.gif

What is your favorite bar?

I think I must come from a boring family, wife, 2 boys+ wife and girlfriend, and none of us eat energy bars. We all snack on fruit and nuts (pistachios, almonds, cashews and occasionally walnuts). My Staffordshire Bull Terrier doesn't eat them either, but I'll bet she would if I offered them.

I eat them and only before doing a long run so that i know my stomach won't be upset. I prefer some thing with peanut butter as that gives me some protein and settles my stomeach longer.

Hi Saltywet,
I think from memory peanut butter on white bread gives you the full complement of essential amino acids
and is therefore a complete protein, so this should be a better option than an energy bar. Wheat is low,(I think) in lysine and peanuts are high. How far do you run, for many years I used to run 8 KMS per day 6 days per week, I was a 5th Dan Karate instructor for 30 years.

i think i have a love-hate relationship with bars. i like them as they are shelf stable and are convenient - i hate them as well as they tempt me to eat them rolleyes.gif

I eat a granola bar every morning with my cup of coffee - I've never been able to eat fresh fruit too early in the morning and the bar is much more convenient than trying to fix a bowl of cereal. I only have time for one cup of coffee since I have to be at work by 7:00.
