These are not for weight loss, they are more for athletes or body builders, although my kids really like them and so I send them with to school as a great snack, I was using them as a in between meal snack as I do work out so thats why I gave them a 5 star cause with all of the other junk snacks out there today this protein bar replaces any sweet tooths cravings all organic is another reason with no artificial sweetners and no added fillers, just to high in carbs for what I need.
