It doesn't matter what you had for lunch

[cyrano]

Lunch and dinner today:
About a dozen organic baby carrots
Two baked tofu sandwiches, the bread containing whole flax seeds and omega fatty acids
A mixed greens salad with fresh white mushrooms, broccoli, black pepper, fat free shredded cheese, and lo-cal lo-fat dressing

There will probably be a fat free lo-cal yogurt after I get my hour at the gym.

If I can make my life more like this, I might survive it.

So what's up with these protein bars? Are all of them so high in fats, particularly saturated fats? I'm seeing twenty and thirty percent of the USRDA in a single bar, for most of these. THat seems really high.

Alton Brown devoted an entire Good Eats episode to granola and protein bars; deriding those very characteristics. If you ever get ambitious enough to make your own, I'm sure the recipes he used are out there somewhere.

Or, heck, my housemate probably has the episode on DVD.
