Q: hi mike im the guy from 1556, i decided to add Quaker Low Fat Granola Bars as you say i should eat more healthy fat so i guess this Granola Bars are healthy as have oatmeal , high source of calcum, 0 tans fat and is low fat so should be okay

A: Meal replacement bars are one step away from junk food, even though they claim to be healthy. True plain old-fashioned oatmeal is a great food, but by the time its processed into the bar with all the sugar and preservatives added, it's nothing like what it started as. Plus the 'low fat' bars are not going to add healthy fats to your diet. Instead I'd recommend eating plain old-fashioned oatmeal (some bananas or apples or strawberries sliced into it make it taste great) instead of the bars and plain roasted nuts (not oil-roasted) for healthy fats, for example. Other sources of healthy fats include extra virgin olive oil, avocados, eggs, and fatty fish like salmon.
