Product Information

Sunflower lecithin: used as an emulsifier to help fats blend with other ingredients. Read more about lecithins in our Lecithin Ingredient Review here. On a positive note, I do agree that these bars are very satiating. The amount of total fats, protein, and fibre are likely to keep you full until your next meal. They also do taste indulgent and are low in sugar.

Instead, choose bars made mostly from whole foods such as oils, spices, natural sweeteners, nuts, and seeds. Because the keto diet is high in fat, you should also look for healthy fats such as nuts and nut butter, MCT oil, avocado oil, and flax, chia, or hemp seeds. Additional factors While these bars are low in net carbs, they’re very high in sodium, providing 600–750 milligrams (mg) of sodium per bar, depending on the flavor. Most other bars on this list contain only 100–200 mg of sodium. They are quite filling so can be good if you are hungry and it’s a long time until your next meal, or if you’re doing something active.Besides loading you with energy, high-calorie nutrition bars can also help you build muscle easier.

Protein bars provide an extra punch of protein, and the bars in our ranking range from providing 12 to 22 grams of protein per bar (it’s worth noting that the body can typically only digest about 20 to 40 grams of protein at a time). Some protein bars feature additional nutrients such as fiber, omega-3s, magnesium and zinc.Rice cakes are a low-calorie option, but make sure to choose plain, unsalted versions. What goes on top is equally important – enjoy them plain or try low-fat cream cheese, banana, avocado, sliced tomatoes or unsalted peanut (or almond) butter. 4. Fruit and nut bars or balls The White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie Dough bar contains the following ingredients: cashews, white chocolate, red palm oil, tapioca fiber, pea protein, macadamia nuts, medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, baobab, vanilla, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, monk fruit, and water. Different protein bars contain different types of protein, as reflected in our ranking. Many protein bars feature whey protein (a type of protein sourced from milk) or a protein blend of whey protein isolate and milk protein isolate.

When you’re deciding which product is right for you, it’s important to consider the macronutrient profile of the bar and its ingredient list. Macronutrient content

Love Good Fats claim these bars are “loaded with good fats from nuts, nut butters, and coconut oil”. With almond butter listed as the first ingredient, this is partially true. However, palm stearin oil is the second ingredient, meaning that these bars contain more palm oil than coconut oil. Palm oil is a processed oil that contains mostly saturated fatty acids. As such, it is not an oil that I would describe as a “good fat”, and certainly not when used in such high amounts. Still, if you look carefully, you can find protein bars that are both keto-friendly and nutritious. Alternatively, you can make them on your own.
