The main problem I have with bars is the high fat content, saturated to be precise. Replacing 'carbs' with fiber and sugar alcohols is one thing, but when I see 10g fat and 6 of the are sats? How else could you prepare a 'bar' without a binding agent such as fat? Even if you make it with nuts, flax oil, etc.. the high heat of cooking will break down poly's rendering them useless, or turning them into hydrogenated fat. Seems to me that avoiding bars and grabbing a shake is always best.

But would the satiety promoting effects of protein be indicated for a professional footballer who has very high energy requirements?
