Grischnak 05/26/19 4:21:33 PM #6:	Do I like them? No. They are almost always disgusting and they take forever to eat so you really get a sense for the taste(unlike protein drinks where you can just down them in like 5 seconds). Only ones I can really stomach are Clif bars. In terms of working? I mean, they are what they say. A quick source of protein/fiber/whatever.

Ultima Dragon 05/28/19 8:58:15 AM #23:	Never been a fan of the bars tbh. I used to have them every now and again when I was younger, but only if I couldn't down a shake or eat a meal right away (those times when you're really on the run). They're pretty bland, bad/unhealthy ingredients, usually shitty cardboard texture. Super expensive for what they are too, at least where I live. Better than nothing if you must rely on them, but I'd rather just down a whey shake and then eat a solid meal a few hours later. --- "We know things can move faster than the speed of light because liberal tears are on the ground before something offensive even happens" - Coffeebeanz <cite>Ultima Dragon posted [p:922466612] in Energy bar...

So_Hajile 05/28/19 12:48:44 PM #31:	Most of them use erithrytol with the hero bars using mostly allulose with 1 gram of erithrytol. Allulose doesn't get a reaction from the human body so it's dumped out which means it doesn't trigger an insulin response. However, long term testing and how it affects the body remains to be seen. None of it matters though if it tastes awful which is something that comes down to the individual.
