Is there anything comparable to a Medifast bar at the grocery store?

I get quite a few variations on this question. People ask me if there are bars that they can buy in the supermarket that are as effective as Medifast bars. I have a definitive opinion on this, which I will share in the next article. I’ll also describe some of the features that I think make these bars so effective in helping you understand what attributes you might want to look for if you’re trying to find an alternative.

Some of the features that make Medifast bars effective: I realize that it may seem more convenient to get your diet foods from the same place where you buy your food. But having all the features of these bars is a difficult task for most major products.

Let’s take a look at Medifast bars to compare apples to apples. For the purposes of this article, I am going to talk about crunch bars. This product contains 110 calories, 3 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of sugars, and 11 grams of protein. When you go down the aisles of your store, I suspect that you will have a hard time finding another bar that is so low in calories, carbohydrates, and sugars while maintaining a high level of protein. But, to take a closer look at the point, I’ll take a look at a couple of popular bars that are readily available and are, by most people at least, considered quite healthy.

Comparison of two popular diet bars from the grocery store: First, I’ll look at the Special K protein snack bars. In terms of calories, this one is pretty comparable. He’s only 110 too. And it has 3.5 grams of fat. But, where it deviates a bit, at least in my opinion, is in its sugar content and low amount of protein. This product contains 11 grams of sugar and only 4 grams of protein. It has 15 grams of carbohydrates.

Now, let’s take a look at Kashi’s Go Lean Protein Bar. This product has many more calories at 180. It contains 30 grams of carbohydrates, 13 grams of sugar, 5 grams of fat, and 9 grams of protein. As you can see, the sugar, calories, fat and carbohydrate content is higher than you would like. It also has the lowest protein content of all the products I have seen.

Many of the so-called protein bars are not as good for you or as effective for weight loss as you might think. And, when you look at its ingredients, you will often see that one of the first ingredients listed is some kind of sugar. For example, you might see corn syrup or honey as one of the first items. If you look at the Medifast bars, you will see protein instead.

People often have the perception that store bars are cheaper and just as effective. But I hope this article has shown you that many of them are high in sugar and carbohydrates, while lacking in protein. If you accept that consuming fewer calories and carbohydrates while increasing your protein intake is important to your weight loss success, you may also suspect that Medifast bars are more likely to help you achieve this based on your nutritional information. And they are not that expensive either. Yes, you have to apply online, but this is a pretty quick and easy process.
