I especially like the word "whole at the beginning. I also noticed that there is only one carbohydrate. *Other things to consider are the amount of protein it contains- , the higher the better *The amount of salt- the lower the better *and of course, how many calories on in it- the lower the better Reading labels has almost become a science and your entry prompted me to post a small article on how to read bread labels.Even though it's not particularly related to kashi bars, it should prove to be helpful. http://www.fitonpurpose.com/blog/how-to-read-bread-labels/ Hi Chris,

Reading labels has almost become a science and your entry prompted me to post a small article on how to read bread labels.Even though it’s not particularly related to kashi bars, it should prove to be helpful.

I eat it when I feel my body needs a quick protein boost. It's great with carrots and also celery. That said, It is high in fat and calories and some "dieters will tell you not to eat it. I wouldn't worry too much about it being hard to digest. So should peanut butter be stricken off of your list? No. Like I said, just a little bit of peanut butter provides a burst of nutritional values that goes a long way. A couple of tablespoons of peanut butter which is equivalent toe about 200 calories. That's about the size of a golf ball, Some opt for reduced fat peanut butters. However, reduced fat peanut butter generally only offers a 10 calorie per serving difference which is not very much when it comes to calorie savings. You may want to try " WHIPPED" peanut butter which contains about 140 calories per 2 Tablespoons.. On the Kashi bars, I have to tell you that natural is always best,. However since I haven't read the labels on the pumpkin flax bars I am not sure if there are any added ingredients. Pumpkin and flax seeds are highly recommended. I checked Tom Venuto's achieves and found a couple of related articles. Hope these help. This is an excellent list: of top 10 foods: http://www.fitonpurpose.com/blog/top-10-foods-that-burn-fat/ The truth about protein bars: http://www.fitonpurpose.com/blog/the-truth-about-protein-bars-performance-nutrition-or-candy-in-disguise/ Have a great day!

I really like peanut butter. Someone told me the other day that peanuts are a legume and very hard to digest so stay away from peanuts and peanut butter. What do you have to say about that? Thanks. Also what do you have to say about the roasted almost and pumpkin flax Kashi bars that are all natural because I eat those all the time. Is that ok or should I substitute that with something. I eat them alot as I am on the run many daysand just have one or two. Thanks My goal by the way is fat loss. Thanks. Is it ok to put natural peanut butter under the protein list or not?
