@GeneralSeptem actually it's 150 cal in the size of a deck of cards. and it's pretty well ballanced nutrition, too

MOTHER EFFING CLUB HAND! so awesome XD

[mct0818]

8.41g protein in a bar that size is not impressive. I like Alton and his show, but this time no cigar.

@eddievhfan1984 Then they're really not power bars. AB said it himself, power bars are great because they pack so many calories into such a small package. The point I'm making is, if that's the point of a power bar, then doing anything to purposefully reduce the calories is stupid.

[eddievhfan1984]

@GeneralSeptem I know all that. But I figure AB's recipe is intended not for bodybuilders or soldiers pulling 16-hour patrols, but for those who simply need a small pick-me-up while exercising or trying to kill that drowsy feeling in the cube farm. And I do read. What gives you the idea that I don't?

[GeneralSeptem]

@eddievhfan1984 Calories aren't a source of energy. Calorie is a UNIT of energy. If a food source delivers 0 calories, then it delivers NO ENERGY. As far as the feeling of energy goes, only drugs (such as caffeine) can do that. A vitamin deficiency can make you feel tired, but only those vitamins that are essential to metabolism. The reason you feel tired is because your body isn't deriving calories as efficiently from food sources. Read something.

[eddievhfan1984]

@GeneralSeptem That's assuming calories is the only source of energy (or feeling of energy).
