Question on Breakfast Bars

Question from Esther: What about breakfast bars? Are they good choices for breakfast?
Martha’s answer: Esther, Good question! I know that breakfast bars are a convenient breakfast and eating them is better than eating no breakfast at all, however many of them are loaded with sugar and contain minimal nutrition. My guidelines would be that you look for one that has at least 3 grams of fiber, less than 10 grams of sugar and approximately 120-150 calories. Most of them contain only 1-2 grams of fiber and 15 or more grams of sugar. You might want to check out the Kashi bars (140 calories, 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of sugar) as they are one of the better choices
