Are granola bars healthy and good for dieting?
Are granola bars healthy and good for dieting?
The quakers chewy granola bars that are 25% less sugar have 5 grams in sugar, and I read somewhere that granola bars that have 5 or more grams of sugar is bad, and should opt for less than 5 grams of sugar granola bars. I’ve been on a diet and I’ve been eating granola bars in my diet (not the only thing I eat, of course!).
Which is the best, Quakers, Health Valley, or Nature Valley’s granola bars? And is it okay if I eat granola bars in my diet, especially the quaker ones, or should I switch because it has 5 grams of sugar in it?
i seriously doubt it; they are just glorified expensive candy bars………here’s a good rule of thumb on how to check for sugar content; a teaspoon of sugar has 5 grams of sugar; so if a product has, say 25 grams of sugar, thats FIVE TEASPOONS OF SUGAR your’e eating….no one needs that much refined sugar at one time………try eating fresh fruit and drinking more water and low calorie diet beverages..and more fresh vegetables (as in a salad!!) wouldnt hurt your weight loss plans either!!
