Atkins Advantage vs Zone bars
 

I have been low carbing for a few months, and on occasion I will have an Atkins Advantage bar. I can only find chocolate type bars however. I do see Zone bars, and have a variety of different flavours. I have never read the Zone book, and don't understand anything about zone blocks. I only understand carbs, and net carbs. Basically what I want to know is how many net carbs are in a Zone bar? I would love to try some of their flavours, but my basic policy is this... If the label doesn't make it clear how many net carbs are in the product, I don't buy it! Hoping maybe someone on the forum can make it clear for me. Otherwise, sorry Zone, not gonna buy.

I'm with you, if they don't label then I don't buy. I have been having Post new low carb bars for breakfast. It's fast, tasty, and inexpensive. Have you tried them? :wave:

I just looked at the info online. For the chocolate peanut butter bar, they list 20 grams total carb, no fiber and 13 grams of sugar. So that means at best, it's 13 grams net carb and probably more like the full 20. Besides that, the second ingredient is corn syrup and the third is chocolate coating (and the first ingredient of the coating is sugar). It's definitely not Atkins-appropriate.

Zone Bars arent made for low-carb diets, dont eat them

Thanks for the info :)

Ditto! But, what about the Post's Low Carb Bars called Post Carb Well. Carbs = 15g. minus 3g fiber = 12g carb. They deduct 3g for sugar alcohol, and they are saying 9g net carbs. I never deduct the sugar alcohol, just the fiber. How do you guys do it? Thanks for any input. :wave:
