There are some nutrition bars that are made specifically for the dietary
needs of children. Personally, I give my 12 year old son Clif Kid Zbar and he
really likes it! Most importantly, these bars are very healthy, as they are 95%
organic and contain 12 essential vitamins and minerals.
I'd go with either the almond brownie flavor of Balance Bar, which contains 75 mg of sodium or with Power Bar chocolate flavor which contains 90 mg sodium.
Promax bars are available in the following flavors: chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate mint, chocolate peanut crunch, double fudge brownie, German chocolate cake, lemon bar, nutty butter crisp, and rocky road.
Personally, I've been using Optimum Nutrition Complete Protein Diet Bar because it only contains 180 calories and provides 20 grams of high quality protein. Unlike many other protein bars, this bar does not contain any sugars, which is really important for me. You can get a box of 15 bars for only $20 here: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/store/complete-protein-diet-bar.html.
It is absolutely fine to consume nutrition bars even if you're not
active. These bars are healthy nonetheless and can help support a healthy diet.
Protein bars are excellent in supporting your protein needs and low calorie
energy bars like Nestle Fitness are great for providing you with energy.
Popular natural protein bars are: Quest Nutrition Natural Bars, Boundless
Nutrition Perfect Fit, Zone Perfect Nutrition bars, Labrada Nutrition Lean Bar,
and Nugo Slim bar.
: I think that in the morning you must eat a whole food meal. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and a protein bar is not enough to give you that morning boost (that you get from carbs and protein bars don't have enough of). However, if you absolutely have no time to prepare breakfast, then eating a protein bar is definitely better than not eating at all. You can add a fruit or two as well.
Let's take a look at the nutritional differences between the two and then
you can decide which one is better for your dietary needs. Calories wise, the
Power Bar contains 250 calories and Cliff Energy Bars contain 230 calories. So
not a big difference here. Regarding the amount of carbs and fats in each
product, Power Bar contains 42 grams of carbs (20 gram of sugars) and 5 grams
of fat (2.5 grams of saturated fat).
Cliff Energy Bars contain 44 grams of carbs (23 grams of sugar) and 4.5 grams
of fats (1.5 gram of saturated fat). Both bars contain 5 grams of fiber, which
is 20% of the daily value of fiber for a 2,000 calories diet. Finally, Power
Bars contain 10 grams of protein, while Cliff Energy Bars contain 9 grams of
protein (protein is not really important for energy). So basically both bars
have very similar nutritional values.
