* All the flavors for each brand of vegan energy bar were noted resulting in ranges for each nutrient.
** Bars identified for snackers or dieters are suitable as a nutritious snack or a meal replacement respectively. The calorie content, > 3g of fiber and protein content is suitable to supplement the meals. Consumers could eat only half of these bars to reduce their intake of total fat if that is a concern.
*** Bars identified for athletes before/during the exercise are higher in carbohydrate content and lower in protein and fat content. Energy bars very high in protein content are suitable for after exercise suitable for repairing body tissues. Bars should be chosen based on sport/activity being performed and the intensity.
