Zone Nutrition Bar

Pros: Healthy?
Cons: Everything else

I have been feeling bloated lately, no doubt from eating too much during lunch time. This causes me to just about fall asleep following lunch, and that is not a good thing. So I have tried several different nutrition bars to find a couple I really...

Pros: Decent price, decent texture and decent taste
Cons: Has a funky aftertaste

Every time I make a trip to Wal-Mart, I try another nutrition bar. I’m bound and determined to find a few bars I actually like. So far Luna Bars are definitely in the running. I’m not really looking for a meal replacement, more like a snack...

Pros: Crunchy, decent flavor, created as a balanced food product
Cons: FISH OIL, Flavor wasn't spectacular, very sweet taste

I was sent a sample of the ZonePerfect bar. I wasn't sure what this company was all about, so from the beginning, it was a learning experience. This product is just from from a large line of food products that this company offers. There is a...

Pros: Low cal, good nutritional value
Cons: Expensive, most flavors are less than terrific

The Zone, like the Atkins diet, is another of those fad diets based upon nebulous science. I don't adhere to the Zone diet, but I have been known to pick up a bar or two on occasion. Though these bars are a bit higher in fat than I would...

Pros: The nutrient ratios and other ingredients satiate and energize my bod.
Cons: I suspect some of the flavors will be unpalatable to many.

I am the undisputed Queen of Meal Replacement Products. The bars and shakes that I have tried over the years in an effort to release the lithe, perfectly proportioned body with the sculpted and sexy musculature that I just know is still under...

Pros: Excellent flavor, no aftertaste, plenty of flavor choices
Cons: Not very filling

The Zone Diet was developed by Barry Sears Ph. D. as a way to control insulin in the blood steam for the purpose of weight loss. According to Sears, this is done by eating a diet of carbohydrates, protein, and dietary fat in a 40%, 30%, 30% ratio,...

Pros: "Provides the nutrition necessary to help you get through your day"
Cons: Tastes like crap.

We wandered on down to the CVS
to pick us up some stuff on sale.
We had eaten all the salami and provolone
the bread was a'gettin stale.

We saw the mighty Zone Bar
And it gave us a heckva grin
So we rolled up our li'l...

Pros: Tasty, convenient, nutritionally balanced, and filling
Cons: A bit more expensive than other bars

I recently spent a year in Japan... seeing the sights, teaching English, and eating lots and lots of cookies. It may be a little known fact, but the Japanese make delicious and addictive snacks! So when I returned home to America, I was...well......

Pros: Good taste and texture, more volume than other bars,
Cons: Some flavors not so tasty

I tried these bars after reading all the reviews on this website. I'm so glad I did because I was sick of all the other bars on the market. ZPs are $1.19 at Trader Joes, $.96 at Wal-mart, and even less if you buy in bulk at Costco.

After...

Pros: Good nutrition, inbetween meals snack, some good flavors
Cons: A tad expensive. Some flavors taste REALLY bad.

Granted, not all flavors are for everyone. Some are very nasty, in fact. I tend to stick with the Apple Cinnamon Crunch, but recently they've added some new flavors. Two of the new ones that I really enjoy are Fudge Graham and Mint Chocolate. Fudge...

Pros: Very tasty, 14 grams of protein
Cons: Only Apple Cinnamon is good

I have tried a LOT of protein bars, and Zone's Apple Cinnamon is one of my absolute favorites. Between not having time to cook and just getting hungry a lot, I find protein bars a really convenient way to not just load up on fat and carbs that are in...

Pros: Tasty
Cons: Until I started thinking about the fish oil

If you are doing the Zone thing, the bars are pretty good. I tried the chocolate raspberry, chocolate peanut butter, and fudge graham cracker. I read the ingredients and noticed there was fish oil in them. I know it's good for you, but I think it...

Pros: Yum! Decent amount of protein. Balanced nutrition bar.
Cons: Harder to find, higher carbs and fat than some will like.

New Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor is fantastic! The lemon yogurt and apple cinnamon are also great. Some of the older flavors are not as good, but you can't go wrong with the three above. These are not overly sweet and have a rice krispie type of...

Pros: Flavor variety, Apple Cinnamon and Yogurt types are easy to take along.
Cons: May be too sweet for some.

This idea was suggested by a Rheumatologist to offset fatigue from Fibromyalgia. Using Zone Bars cut cravings kept my weight steady and helped me maintain stamina for several years. Then I got serious about weight loss, joined Weight Watchers and used...

Pros: Delicious, healthy, satisfying, and available inexpensively.
Cons: Shocking pink center - is this really necessary?

I've tried 'em all, boys and girls, and let me tell you there is some pretty high-priced cardboard out there masquerading as meal-replacement bars. But the Zone Perfect, Chocolate Raspberry Supreme (CRS) bar is not only a perfectly balanced, nutritional...
