hate to say it, but, clif and luna bars, right? i mean, the shit is candy bars

oh totally. i quite a vicious clif bar habit a couple years back.

for sure, as far as sugar content goes. but tbf they usually have more fiber, protein, and other stuff that a candy bar wouldn't.

power bars too?

i like the peanut butter ones

I WANTED THAT ONE SO BAD a few weeks back because i like all those things but then I saw it was $8 and I just couldn't.

Think Thin bars don't have any sugar and are OK but not as tasty as Lara bars though though are probably more whole.

yea $8 is absurd. shit. you can get an entire falafel sandwich for $8, and that's still a ripoff. you can get a falafel for $2.50 someplaces.

eight seltzers.

or seven if there's tax.

clif bars are designed for when you're burning hella calories & packing light

I take Clif bars along when I am wilderness trekking, but Snickers work almost as well, so the candy bar analogy isn't far off the mark.

yeah man you gotta juice your vegetables and eat your fruits whole! fruit juice is mostly just sugar without any of the fibers. the fibers are the good stuff, that's what your body really wants!

"Any highly processed snack food", no loaded words there nope

for sure, as far as sugar content goes. but tbf they usually have more fiber, protein, and other stuff that a candy bar wouldn't.

also, the sugar content in them comes from more benign sources than hfcs.

You got me all wrong, brimstead. I always eat my cabbage in the form of triangular chip.

you're missing out, cabbage is a wonderful even as accessorial ruffage.

raw juice is good even though it is high sugar and low fiber because of enzymes and phytochemicals. smoothies are better because you retain the fiber. in general, you shouldn't be scared of the sugar in raw fruit for the most part unless you are eating it in extreme quantities.

i think the worst offender of junk food that appeals to whole foods shoppers is artisanal soda, like virgil's. soda is evil imho.

This thread inspired me to buy some Chia seed tortilla chips yesterday.

i've had virgils, aint nothing evil about that sweet sweet root beer

reed's ginger beer is my weakness

i used to eat these a lot and then stopped and then my grocery store started stocking them for 1.19 so i bought six and i have eaten three today

I gave my three-year-old a luna bar and she really liked it = it is a candy bar

I have been eating zone perfect bars after workouts though because I am buying into that whole protein+carbs immediately after working out thing, plus I kind of feel like I need a little sugar boost when I'm beat from a workout, plus I read that giving yourself a little sweet after a workout is a good way to help build an exercise habit (because it's a "reward" in a pavlovian sense). Also they are cheap at Costco.

So far the "reward" part I guess is working because I've hit the gym 3x week every week for four months straight.

literally my entire diet belongs in this thread, i have put on like 30 pounds in the last couple of years, envy my life

“I don’t think much has changed in the energy bar landscape—just more crowded!” writes Eskin, who still works as a food writer for the Tribune and other outlets. “The culture of the time focused on athletes—who presumably ‘needed’ quick, portable nutrition—and everyone else who wanted to seem just as buff and busy.”

Long read on the rise of the power/protein bar:

This thread has everything.

here's a good example I discovered recently

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51E71WaNp-L._SX522_.jpg

Just 10g of protein and 300 calories, with likely less than half of that protein even coming from "crickets." $36 for 12 on Amazon.

Admittedly I am probably way too reliant on Kirkland protein bars, premier protein shakes, and various brands of vegetable protein powder for nutrition. Sometimes I wonder if it does me any good at all.

I don't really think people eat Beyond burgers types of things to be healthier? I could be wrong. I still haven't been able to try them. Boca burgers have always sucked so bad otm all above.

That piece on protein bars is depressing. It's Lunchables for adults. I thought the era for them ended in the early part of this decade. I was obv wrong. The last time I bought one was when I was going 5 day hiking/camping and needed to carry all my food in.

Can you still get those Powerbars that were like a thin slabs of tar?

I’m crazy about these, I don’t know if they count, they’re not made for scarfing/wolfing

um did you mean to post that on the Naked Juice thread
