This is an interesting video from diet.com with their top 5 worst meal replacement bars.

I don’t buy these myself as I prefer fresh fruit and vegetables to snack on but I know many people who eat these thinking they are healthy and low in fat. Packaging plays a major part in this and like always, you really do need to read the labels carefully. Just because a product has words like healthy or 99% fat free doesn’t meant that they are good for you or low in fat.

The criterion used to select these particular products is total calories, caloric density, saturated fat, fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals.
