I’ve been getting sick of protein bars lately so I ended up picking up these. They have 20 grams of protein and are about twice the size of a Whopper candy. The question you’re probably asking is, “do they taste as good as a Whopper?”.

I recently got my hand on a bunch of CytoSport supplements which I will be reviewing as I try them. This was the first thing I decided to try since I was hungry and needed a snack on-the-go. Continue reading…

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a sample pack of PureFit Nutrition Bars this past week. They’ve received a lot of praise and are probably the most nutritious bars I’ve ever seen…but this begs to ask the question “Do they taste good since they are so nutritious?”. You’re about to find out. Continue reading…

As I said before I’ve been eating a lot more protein bars lately. Recently I reviewed the Big 100 Colossal Crispy Apple Pie protein bar by Met-Rx and was less than impressed. I decided to give them another shot and try this one. Continue reading…

The other day I happen to be in a Vitamin Shoppe and saw these things. I’m normally not a fruit flavored protein drinker since most of it tastes chalky but for some reason I decided to give this drink a try, and I’m glad I did. With 120 calories, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbs, and 0 grams of fat, there’s not much to complain about. The sodium is even low at 45mg. It also contains 7.8g BCAAs. Even the ingredient list isn’t nearly as long as I thought it would be. Continue reading…

Now I’m sure most of us have scales in our house that we usually either daily, weekly, and hopefully at least monthly to monitor our weight gain/loss. The thing is most scales aren’t accurate, and the ones that are usually cost way too much. I came across this EatSmart scale and have decided to review it. It appears at first glance to be a good quality scale that won’t break the budget. Is it? Well you’re about to find out. Continue reading…

I’ve found myself eating more and more protein bars. Usually I try and limit myself to 1 or 2 a week, but it seems like I’m eating them every other day now. Anyways, I was low on calories and decided to pick this up the other night. This bar has decent macros: 400 calories, 10g of fat (6g coming from saturated fat), 47g of carbs, and 31g of protein. That’s not TOO bad. The sugar content is pretty high with 29g of sugar but it does say made with real fruit so who knows how much of that sugar content comes from that. Sodium content is average at 440mg. Continue reading…

I came across these awhile ago in my local health food store. Most health stores since then that I have come across now usually have these stocked. Unlike most companies nowadays that claim to have “valuable” qualities in choosing to eat (aka buy) their food, this snack food does not mention anything. The only thing remotely close to trying to “make” you buy this product is the picture on the outside…which does not look so appetizing. Continue reading…
