Substitution

  • Hey there everyone!

    I started LA Weight Loss. I have been on it two days even though I was suppose to start it almost a week ago. Anyway, the bars are going to be too expensive. I did the ebay thing and that should last be awhile. I am tempted to do the Luna bars also BUT I wanted to know if you all knew anything about SoNutty bars (15g Protein) and the Slim Fast Optima Bars (8g Protein) Should I be looking at the Carb or Sugar content of the bars? I am not buying any bars tomorrow when I go in...I am going to buy some Luna bars until my shipment comes in!

    Any suggestions will be appreciated!
  • Hi Miss Jo!

    First of all, most of us have substituted Luna's for Lite's since the calorie counts are about the same -160-180 with similar amounts of protein. It's just easier for me to not worry about any extra calories in the other bars.

    For comparison
    Caramel Bars
    Cals 160
    Fat 4g (sat fat 2g)
    Sodium 150mg
    Potassium 140mg
    Total Carb 23g
    Fiber 1g
    Sugars 16g
    Protein 8g

    Honey Nougat Bars
    Cals 180
    Fat 4g (sat fat 3g)
    Cholesterol 5mg
    Sodium 65 mg
    Potassium 70mg
    Total Carb 29g
    Dietary fiber < 1g
    Sugars 21 g
    Protein 8 g

    Hope this helps!
