How does it blow away a clif bar?

• mixmastamyk 9y ago
  Clif is ok if you are going hiking, there is a lot of sugar. Sitting in front of a computer? Not so much.

  As I recall, Clif Bars are predominantly carbs and some fat. Soylent has a reasonable balance of protein and more emphasis on vitamins and minerals. To be clear, I'm not a nutritional expert. But I've had people who know more than me tell me clif bars are basically non-nutritious.

    And too much protein? http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/fda-daily-recommendations-protein-10249.html http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/fda-daily-recommendations-pr... "The FDA recommendation for daily protein intake is 50 grams on a 2,000-calorie diet."

      That's not a maximum. The body can heathily process a few times that much a day (don't quote me on the precise number).

        That's true but it also means they could be using those calories for other macronutrients instead.

    My Choc Chip Clif Bar says 10 of its 65grams are protein with approx 10% of daily values of quite a few vitamins #NotADoctor

  Clif Bars are roughly the same caloric and nutritional content of a standard size Snickers bar.

    Except Clif Bars have like 4x the protein, which makes them a million times better for their primary purpose, which is a compact energy source during/after a workout.

  Clif bars a terrible meal replacement, they're intended to be something that you eat to fuel or replenish for/from endurance sports.

  Clif bars are candy, but this would be a much more interesting comparison with Quest Bars.
