General Mills - Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Chewy Bars Review

Bottom-Line: General Mill Fiber One snack bars have found a place in the pantry.  I like the whole grain goodness, the great taste and high fiber. 

I am modifying my diet; I want to lose weight, but at a reasonable pace; i.e. 1 or 2 pounds a week.  But I spend a lot of time on the road, so finding foods to snack on through my long days has been a huge challenge, one that all too often lead me to McDonalds, Wendy's Burger King, or some other fast food joint. 

So as much as I love fast food for the convenience and its ability to fill me up, in order to lose the weight, I have to give them up.  So what to replace them with: fresh fruits, lots of fresh fruits, and General Mills Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bars.     

Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bars are made with whole grains; that means they are high in fiber, in fact General Mills claims that each Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bar contains 35% of the daily value of fiber, is a good source of calcium, and a good source of whole grains. 

But the most important part is the taste; Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bars are yummy.  The bars are chewy and moist, but not chalky and dry like some bars that I have tried in the past have been.  And for a chocolate lover there is no better combination.  Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bars are now apart on my new fit for life food program. 

The bars do have one minor-or major depending on your perspective-by-product: gas!  So beware.
