A few weeks ago, I made the comment that "South Beach bars taste like ass." I'm happy to report that my initial observation was too general. The South Beach bars that I first tried, I believe they were the "meal replacement bars," did indeed taste like ass, but I've had the opportunity now to try two flavors of the "breakfast bars" and am very happy to report that they do not, in fact, taste like ass. They're remarkably good in fact. I've had the chocolate flavored bars, and now I'm mowing my way through the maple nut bars, and they're pretty darned good. A little dry for my taste, but with a glass of milk, very good.
I slept in again today, this time until 5:30A, and only had time to walk for a half hour. Amy and I walked the remaining half hour together before dinner tonight. It's cold and rainy here in Columbus, not sure why I haven't been going to the gym, it's perfect weather for it...

I've tried one of the breakfast bars, can't rememebr which one but I think it had chocolate in it. It was pretty good.
I typically eat a Nutri Grain Muffin bar each day for breakfast, only the Cinnamon Raisin kind. The only problem is that the stores typically don't carry many of them so when I see them I have to buy like 8 boxes at one time.
Thanks for the recommendation, Ken. So far, I've only tried the South Beach bars because, well, the dietician recommended them. But, I'll ask her about the Nutri Grain Muffin bars. Thanks!
You can check out their nutritional vaule. They are probably not the best for a diet. They are 170 calories, w/ 35 from fat. They provide you with 11% of your total carbs for the day, but they sure taste good.
