What’s your opinion on eating protein bars when in a pinch? I used to avoid them because of the caloric density. When I’m stuck out on the road and have run out of my packed food for the day, I will grab a Power bar, Cliff bar or Luna bar. Is this a good choice?

I have to quote my competitive fitness coach, Cathy Savage… if you have the choice between eating McDonalds, eating a protein bar, or not eating, eat the bar!

It sounds like you are using them only when you really need them and when you are hanging out with the horses, I doubt there are too many other options. These choices are ok, but if you can find something that is less sugar, that would be great. The thing I do like about these brands is that they don’t have the fake sugars in them.
