2. Redbook

Redbook magazine's review identifies low-calorie energy bars that "can give you a quick boost of energy during a long walk." Their criteria are that the bar should have only around 100 calories, with no more than 5 grams of total fat and 12 grams of sugar. They name three that not only meet the criteria, but taste good as well, including the Chocolate Brownie Zbar. They describe the Zbar's taste as "mochaccino meets oatmeal cookie, with berry undertones."
