Are protein bars healthy?!


Question: Are protein bars healthy.?
Are they healthy.? I am a vegetarian and because I end up having to eat on the go a lot, I don't get enough protein so I sometimes get a protein bar and have that.

I am a recovering anorexic as well...so the added calories (about 230 per bar) are not that bad for me seeing as I still have some weight to gain. I usually pick a low carb one, with not a lot of fat and about 20g of protein.

Is there a better more healthy source of protein that I can eat on the run.? I know nuts are a good source but they also have a lot of fat which I am still iffy on eating a lot of...Health Question & Answer


Answers:
yea, they are greatt. thats what i did at first in anorexia recovery because i felt "safe" with them
but then as time progressed, i learned from my nutritionist that we need fat in our bodies and that nut fat is healthy so i would eat those as snacks, as well as nuts.
keep up the good work tho! and yes, there great!Health Question & Answer

overall, no. yes, it is some source of protein but it is actually hard for the body to digest and use artificial, man made proteins or vitamins or supplements....so it won't digest most of it actually. also, their are lots of unhealthy things in their like fructose corn syup (which is just a whole bunch of sugar that is acutally a lot worse for you than regular sugar) and a lot of other unhealthy things. try getting your protein from beans, nuts, seeds, eggs (if you eat them).Health Question & Answer

The protein isn't real, its a sort of artificial protein. Protein, but not that good for you and wont do much benefit. Its NO subsitute for a peice of tofu, beans, or nuts. (<< vegetarian sources of protein)Health Question & Answer

Fat doesn't make you fat. Calories make you fat. It also depends on the type of fat you eat however I think nuts have the good fatty's that you need.Health Question & Answer
