My quads really started aching by the end of the day yesterday, probably from the biking Sunday plus the elliptical and walking on Monday, but I'm doing OK today. I'm hoping to try my first "Spinning" class after work today.

Nutrition bars redux

I mentioned a few entries back that I didn't care for the texture or after-taste of the Luna bars I tried. I found a bar that's not quite the match for the Luna bar in terms of organic ingredients or protein content, but not bad, nutritionally. And no problems with taste or texture.

South Beach Diet brand granola bars, particularly the "Sweet Nut Creations: Nut Medley," taste pretty good (obviously this one is very nutty) and this one is pretty decent in the nutritional department:

150 calories
6 grams protein
7 grams fat (2.5 sat fat)
3 grams fiber
7 grams sugar
4% RDA calcium
6 % RDA iron

I probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy these unless they were on sale, but I was give one as a free sample when we were shopping at Kroger on Saturday.
