 I found them at Walmart and they are perfect for me! They are small 1 oz mini protein bars. They have 4.5 grams of protein in them which I know isn't great but they fill me up and and I need to get more calories in so they are a tasty 100 calorie boost. They are also soft and taste really good. I'm thinking they are perfect to take to work for a real quick snack.

I love Clif Bars ... Chocolate Brownie and White Chocolate Macadamia are my favorite!

Interesting. i might check them out for very occasional use.

Those sensitive to dumping should probably be wary though... the very first ingredient is Organic Brown Rice Syrup, which even though it is a polysaccharide is still a sugar.

Pretty high in sugars.  I try to have an "unofficial" ratio of 10 calories to 1 gm protein for a protein, energy, snack bar.

If they have 100 calories, then they would need 10 gm protein.  There are better snacks with high protein which is what we need.

A protein bar would be better.  Clif bars are not formulated for high protein, low carb eaters like RNY patients.

I LOVE mini Clif bars!!!!  They are like candy bars to me.  I usually don't eat them unless I'm having a major munchy day.  They are awesome!!

I don't know, I think you might be able to find a better snack for fewer calories.  But they are small, which is nice.  And I get the whole candy-bay-indulgence feeling.  For the same 100 calories, you could have more than half of a Quest bar, which would be more than 10 grams of protein (I am a big fan of Quest bars, especially vanilla almond - tastes exactly like bit-o-honey candy). 

I don't exactly dump on Clif bars, but they give me that clogged-up feeling in my pouch, like I get when I eat something that is too high in fat or carbs.  It's kind of an ache-y fullness, and then I can't eat or drink for a while.
