Question on Carbolite Bars

[anniet]

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the calories fat and fiber are on those Carbolite Bars. I work in sales, I do benefit fairs for an HMO, and am always throwing granola or cereal bars into my bag for lunch because sometimes I have to eat my lunch behind a table in between people coming over to ask me questions, and I find bars or pre packaged shakes work well.
I've tried EAS bars and others and wasn't really impressed, but since you all seem to REALLY enjoy them, I thought I might give them a try if they work out to the same points that a meal would (4 or 5)

Thanks!

I was very unimpressed with Carbolite... very chalky tasting to me as compared to the various EAS / Myoplex Lite bars.

hmmmm.....that's what I found about EAS-Carb Control bars. I wonder if it depends on the flavor.

Thanks for the info bicker. That puts that bar at 3 weight watchers points! Not bad for a lunch or snack.

My two cents would be that I LOVE Carbolite bars.

Very tasty in my opinion!!





Guess everyone's tastes are different.

The EAS Carb Control bars are definitely chalky too. The EAS bars that I find better are the EAS Energy Bars (220 or 240 calories) and the EAS Myoplex Lite Bars (180 or 190 calories).

I love the carbolite candy. I don't care for the carbolite low carb meal replacement bars. The candy is wonderful, though.

I haven't had one yet, but come Wednesday I will finally get to see what all the "talk" is about myself!!
