Swap a Granola Bar for String Cheese or Almonds They might fit in that perfect little pocket in your gym bag and taste like the best thing in the world when you're starved post-boot camp class, but granola bars don't have the staying power that other snack options offer. "If you look at the label on the back of most snack bars, they're mostly sugar with little fiber or protein," registered dietitian and nutritionist Kaleigh McMordie explains.
