I like that the author noted the calories are too low in most of these bars. They should be combined to keep you satisfied longer. I also recommend bars that have some protein to help increase satiety.

i agree, the HFCS and artificial sweeteners can have a negative effect on your body's metabolism, and your body knows it is getting "foreign substances." This is why the kashi bars are such a good pick, ans still higher in fiber and protein. I think cliff "z bars" (the ones for kids) are great also.

My spouse is pre-diabetes and my 8 year old has high cholesterol. The dietician suggested Luna/Cliff bars. As with any product, even organic, you have to look at the grams of sugar.

Protein is what’s needed especially for breakfast. Zone bars or cliff ba

Protein is what’s needed and most cereal type bars have only 2 grams. Zone Bars and Cliff/Luna Bars are some of the best and not too hard to eat. Add a yogart and your set.

Gnu bars www.gnufoods.com have 12g of fiber, 140 calories, and are all-natural. Lots of flavors (espresso chip, brownie, peanut butter, etc.). I eat one every morning. You can find them at Vitamin Shoppe, some GNCs, and other health food stores.

Lara Bars are high in fat, sugar and carbs. Not good for diabetics. Also have some saturated fats.

Hi Macmkaz –
Thanks for your question. We checked out the ingredient list on the Fiber Plus bars and found they contained processed ingredients including sweeteners and hydrogenated oils (the bars that made our top picks did not). Stay tuned for an upcoming article on fiber and fiber products coming soon!

Dana,
What kept the Fiber Plus bar from making your list?
