Are cereal bars nutritious?

Answer by  trudie1962 (1022)

Cereal bars made from whole grain cereal can be nutritious but also contain a lot of sugar, especially if they are iced or chocolate-covered. They're also short on protein in many cases - even the ones containing nuts.

The nutrition within cereal bars does tend to vary widely. Some contain nuts, fruit, protein, or high-fiber material, while others are little more than breakfast cereal. The one thing that virtually all cereal bars have in common is that what keeps them together is sugar and corn syrup, so in that sense they will always be less nutritious than cereal.
