Okay, volume 6, hopefully you’re learning something by now.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I seem to get hungry a lot.

I try to follow the 6 meals a day plan (story coming soon), and as such, I’m required to eat just about every 3 hours.

So, to ensure I don’t go re-re and keep my pleasant demeanor, I often find myself reaching for a snack when I’m on the go, traveling, etc.

My snack of choice is the Fiber One bars. I’ve pretty much been through all of the protein bars out there and found this one to be the bar that I’m least sick of .

1. It’s important in any snack you choose that it’s filling
2. Relatively low in calories
3. Readily accessible

That being said, let’s do a quick lesson on the nutritional facts:

• The snack should be between 100-200 calories, check
• You don’t want to overload with fat, and the polyun and monoun are good fats, but still need moderation, check
• We have a lot of fiber here, which goes undigested, check
• The sugars aren’t too bad, but still 10 grams is kind of high (let’s see what it’s made of), just okay
• There is some protein at 2g, definitely not where I’d like this to be, but I think we sacrifice the protein for taste, which in the end helps to keep you off the cookies and chips, just okay

Okay, some other points to note is that these bars are made with oats, whether or not they are slow cooked or not, oats are a quality carb, meaning their glycemic effect is low.

Meaning, when you eat oats, it will not cause your blood sugar to spike, and then drop, causing you to get hungry and tired.
