Don't Listen to the False - Bad Reviews. Excellent Nutrition Bar.
I'm always amazed at how people can throw out statements without any facts to back them up. Please don't listen to these people who are stating their 'opinions' that this has the same nutrition info as a snickers bar! It does not! Being a scientist and a bariatric patient I have to be very careful what I eat and the means to monitor intake properly. So when my surgeon told me I needed to increase my protein I immediately thought of the Tiger Milk Protein Rich Bars that I grew up with. I too was taken back by the claims that these are just candy bars, but don't be fooled by false statements. After doing the research I found that the reviewers who claimed this couldn't be further from the truth.<br /><br />Snickers Bar: 2oz size: 271 Calories; 14g Fat; 5g Sat. Fat; 7mg Cholesterol; 140mg Sodium; 0mg Potassium; 35g Total Carbs; 1g Fiber; 29g Sugars; 4g Protein; 2% Vit. A; 0% Vit. C; 5% Calcium; 2% Iron<br /><br />Where as a comparible King Size Tiger Milk Bar; approx. 2oz size: 220 Calories; 8g Fat; 3g Sat. Fat; 0mg Cholesterol; 95mg Sodium; 230mg Potassium; 28g Total Carbs; 2g Fiber; 21g Sugars; 9g Protein; 25% Vit. A; 15% Vit. C; 25% Calcium; 30% Iron.<br /><br />True that the sugar for these bars is a bit high. However, it is still less than a candy bar and has almost half the fat, twice the fiber, and over twice the protein of the snikers bar. Not to mention it is considerably higher in potassium, vitamins A & C, Calcium, and Iron. HENCE IT IS A NUTRITION BAR. Also please take into account that the King Size version is more than I could or should eat. The actual 1.23oz original size is better formulated for nutrition (140 calories; 5g fat; 2g sat. fat; 60mg sodium; 140mg potassium; 18g carbs; 1g fiber; 14g sugars; 6g protein)which just further proves the point (not to mention that is the actual product we are reviewing here) that it is no where near the sugar and fat intake of a candy bar.<br /><br />I hope my ranting has better informed those who are looking for a good tasting nutrition bar. Personally, I would recommend this to anyone who needs to get more protein in their diet ... and actually do.
