Meal Replacement Bars

No. A protein bar is a snack designed to add protein to your day. A meal replacement bar is formulated to replace a whole meal, which means it also has to carry the vitamins, minerals and fibre that meal would have given you. Eating a protein bar instead of lunch leaves gaps a meal replacement bar is designed to fill.

Follow your plan rather than a fixed bar count. On the Everyday Plan that is two meal replacements a day, either or both of which can be a bar; on the Total Plan it is four. Most people prefer to mix bars with shakes, soups and hot meals.

No, the bar is the meal. Have a glass of water with it — people routinely mistake mild dehydration for hunger, and you are getting less fluid from food than usual on a lower-calorie day.

Some are, and each product page states which. Because allergens vary across the twelve flavours, check the specific bar rather than assuming the range as a whole is suitable.
