Balance bars?
Is anyone else using Balance bars instead of MRC bars? I found them the other day, seem to fall between the Chocolate mint bars and the Chocolate wafer bars that I like from MRC as far as nutrition info. I bought a box, 6 bars for under $5.50, but haven't tried yet.

I haven't tried them yet... I know, strange...
Since I'm on maintenance, I can have them more often during the week. Some weeks are busier than others, and I'll eat for a quick breakfast. I'm traveling tomorrow, so maybe I'll have one for breakfast, as I can wait until I get to the airport to eat it. I'll update as to how it was. |
Dark chocolate crunch was good! Now I'll have to check the other favors they have available.

All the balance bars have a lot of high carbs, the vanilla wafer bars from MRC only have 6.5 g each, the double choc crunch from balance bars have 20g, that's a lot if you are following the MRC plan.

Ok... Comparison:
MRC chocolate mint bar - 150 calories, 40 from fat. Total fat 4.5g, carbs 21g, fiber 4g, sugars 12g, protein 10g MRC choc wafer bar - 210 calories, 90 from fat. Total fat 9g, carbs 13g, fiber 1, sugars 5, protein 15g Balance Dark Chocolate crunch - 180 calories, 60 from fat. Total fat 6g, carbs 20g, fiber 4g, sugars 12g, protein 13g. I don't have a box of the vanilla wafer bars to get this info on. But, comparing the ones I have, I'm willing to interchange these based on these numbers. Don't get me wrong, I like the MRC bars, but since I have to get them shipped to me (unless I happen to go visit my mom, which I only get to do once or twice a year), and can't ship in the summer because they may melt, I think the Balance bar is a decent substitute. |

I found a new bar (my husband carries protein bars with him for blood sugar reasons and is always looking for low carb options) and it's called Life Choice Protein Bar.
Calories 190, from fat 40, Total fat 4.5g, carbs 16g, fiber 2g, sugars 8g, and protein 21g. I am pretty impressed with them. Taste great too with protein source mainly whey. I try to stay away from soy. I found them at Walmart in the breakfast foods aisle and a box of 6 was less than $4. |
Good to know there are other protein bars out there that are cheaper. I tend to go with atkins bars because of the low carbs. They aren't my friend. LOL
