Medifast is an engineered food. These are not. I'm still calculating by using a protein heavy no/low carb combination and splitting it up over two meals.

For the bars, I've found I don't like the South Beach bars as much as those from Kashi or Medifast. They're not terrible, it's more like they're okay instead of great.
