Registered dietician Elizabeth Somer helps the authors identify seven energy bars, including Luna Bars, that are low in calories but provide enough carbohydrates to give you a quick energy boost. They also have enough protein to prevent an energy crash after the carbs have been burned. A poster linked to the article gives each bar's description, comments from testers, a list of its nutrients, and a list of the available flavors. Testers liked the Luna Bars; the review says they "loved the flavor variety" and found them "light, not dense, unlike most energy bars."
