I’m trying to eat better. It’s hard — there are a lot of temptations. It’s mostly common sense, though. Eat 6 times a day so you don’t get too hungry, try to eat mostly nuts, beans, green veggies, low fat dairy, oatmeal, lean meats, olive oil, whole grains and berries. I’m also trying to up my protein intake.

I only eat food in bar form. When you concentrate food, you unleash its awesome power, I’m told. That’s why I’m compressing 5 pounds of spaghetti into one handy mouth-sized bar. — Homer Simpson

I’ve been on the lookout for a decent protein bar to supplement when I’m on the go or need something quick. The problem is that it’s really unbelievable how many of these so called health bars are filled with garbage like high fructose corn syrup among other things. After looking for a while I finally found something decent — Eleve8 Me! Protein Bars. Each bar has 18 grams of protein and the ingredient list is small and easy to understand: whey protein isolate, organic raisins, organic whole bananas, natural sliced almonds, dates, apples. If you wanted to pick on them it would be that they are high in sugar. Also, they taste so good that it’s hard to just eat one.
