 While I might not recommend these Carb Well energy bars for someone just starting the induction phase of atkins simply because of their content of sugar alcohols, when you get to a more regular place they can be a nice little snack to help get you through the day. They aren't quiet as delicious tasting as atkins bars are in my opinion but that is simply because the Balance Bar company tries to fill it with vitamins and some minerals that will help you through the day. We can all agree that some extra vitamins are always a good idea when you are doing atkins since most of the sources you would normally get your vitamins from have dropped out of your diet by a lot. Contains a great source of Vitamins A, E, and C. Lots of protein in these things too. The thing that stood out to me more than anything was how these were often time a dollar cheaper per bar than most atkins bars were. That's a big plus.

These bars are a pretty good snack. I'm now in the OWL phase of my Atkins diet (about 2 months in), and these will do a good job of getting through my afternoons between lunch and dinner. They're pretty tasty - not great, but I've tasted a lot worse. I like that there's 14g of Protein, as well as only 2 net carbs!

You got to love the protein that come with peanut butter. It's a safe bet that if peanuts are an ingredient your gonna get something with lots of protein in it.
