Hi Jillian,
Can you recommend a granola bar, not as a meal replacement, but just as a snack, under 140 calories? I’m looking for something without a lot of sugar, nothing artificial, but also great fiber.
By the way, the nutrition assessment is a great tool to help understand what I need to work on and where I’m doing well with my nutrition intake, especially during training! Thanks!
