It pays to compare
May 30, 2008 Why am I paying big bucks for the fancy South Beach Diet AKA South Beach Living bars - especially when I don't really even like the way most of them taste!
I just recently compared the nutrition facts of a Chocolate Delight flavor of a SoBe Snack Bar with my yummy Quaker Reduced Sugar Chocolate Chip Granola Bar and was surprised at how similar they actually are.
Serving Size:
Quaker - 24 g SoBe - 28 g
Calories:
Quaker - 100 SoBe - 100
Total Fat:
Quaker - 3.5 SoBe - 3
Sodium:
Quaker - 75 mg SoBe - 150 mg
Total Carbs:
Quaker - 17 g SoBe - 18 g
Sugars:
Quaker - 5 g SoBe - 4 g
Fiber:
Quaker - 3 g SoBe - 3 g
When I eat the South Beach bars I feel deprived and like I'm eating cardboard and twigs and stuff. When I eat the chocolate chip granola bar I feel like I just had dessert. Considering how similar their numbers are, now I know I don't have to feel guilty if I consume the Quakers. :)

I've recently realized this too! Why oh why didn't I compare labels earlier?!
