Default Powerbars... How Bad?

I eat prob 3-5 a week. Usually when Im craving sweets at night or while playing in a really good game and unable to stop and eat real food.

Half of the carbs are sugar which isint good. I guess their about a 5.
This is much better for $2/bar its a full meal http://www.dpsnutrition.net/get_item_is023.htm

That has some fat-soluble vitamins at a 100% mark, which means you could overload on them through your regular diet very easily. Not sure that's such a good idea. The B6 is also pretty high. That's water-soluble so it can be pissed out, but still people using any other supplements or drinking fortified shakes might want to be cautious. You can get peripheral neuropathy(numbness usually in fingers) from too much B6.

i used to make these kick ass unreal tasty homemade bars that included oats, honey, PB, whey. consisted of microwave and put in fridge. i mean they are calorie dense, but i have to think they are much better for you long term than packaged bars.

1 cup Natural peanut butter
8 tablespoons honey
1&1/4 cups whey protein powder
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal

Mix the pb and honey in a bowl, microwave on full for 80 secs. Add the rest and mix together (get your hands in man!!) can add raisins/nuts etc to taste. Smooth into 13x9 tray and leave for 20 mins. Cut into 10 to 12 equal bars and wrap and store in fridge!!

RDA for almost every vitamin is ridiculously low, its basically a level of what a person would need to stave off disease. i wouldnt worry about overdosing on vitamins from eating a few powerbars a week, thats borderline ridiculous
