Lots of calories but good
Imagine my surprise when I realized that although the packaging states one serving is 210 calories, that's for a half a bar. The whole bar is 420 calories. That being said, I can eat this as a breakfast or lunch and not feel hungry at all, which is very unusual for me. Usually if I east those other bars like slim fast or something I am starving in an hour. I find that may be the trick, I am only eating one of these and feeling satisfied, where I could eat two or three of the others (probably end up with more calories) and still be hungry. The bar has a great flavor, with large chunks of fruit and nuts. They truly are a meal replacement so well worth the money in my opinion, particularly if you have trouble with eating just a bar and feeling satified for a while. This bar also doesn't leave me shaky after an hour because of sugar or needing more to eat. I don't give it five stars because of the high calories, but I suppose if it was lower in calories it wouldn't satisfy and much. At least they are good calories! Lots of fiber (10 g, doubled for the two servings) and protein (16 g doubled for the two servings) in one bar.

Best Engery Bar
The best energy bar. I eat half a bar when I need extra energy. It works like no other. Love it!

natural taste with lots of calories
If you are trying to lose weight, don't get these bars! They are calorie-dense. One bar has almost 400 calories. I have tried many other competitor's bars and this one actually tastes like food and not some chunk of chewy dough or play-doh. The bar is baked and preservative-free with generous chunks of fruit and nuts within. The taste and texture is wonderful and does not induce much thirst. My suggestion though is to get a variety of flavors so you don't get tired of them too quickly. If you hike/trek and need lots of calories in a compact form, I recommend these. I bought 3 boxes of mixed varieties and ate one a day for lunch in college and was never hungry. In fact, I could barely stay awake during lecture because of the caloric load. So they're best for those on the move. The closest bar in taste would be the Clif bars. However, they lack the chunkiness of nuts and fruit and have 100 fewer calories. Also, Clif bars kinda look like turds in foil...not too appetizing imo.
