Are these meant for meal replacements or healthy snacks for dieters?

I would call it more of a moderately healthy snack or dessert. It doesn't have enough protein to be a great meal replacement, and it has too many carbs to really say it's 'balanced'.

It depends on you, but I keep a few in my laptop and camera bags (photographer). Often, I will eat a few of these on a 12 hour wedding day and they keep me energized all day. They are great when traveling and you don't want to pay the ripoff prices at airports for snacks. Since the calories are from nuts and dried fruit, it curbs my appetite for many hours.

Personally Bea, I consider them a healthy snack but have used them as a lunch replacement when absolutely necessary. They will "Tide You Over". I hope this helps.

I personally just use them for a healthy snack bc it doesn't have enough protien.

Neither, maybe half a bar for a snack but pretty much you could use as a breakfast supplement, maybe. If you can't get breakfast this would tide you over. About 190 calories... if you need gluten free great. If not, just high calorie healthy food.

I personally use them both ways. Mainly I use the Pure Bar as a meal replacement. I eat them in the morning and it sustains my appetite until lunch.

I don't use them as meal replacements but its a good bar to eat with other things like yogurt and fruit.

We eat them as a mid-day snack when we eat dinner around four. The are tasty :)

Yes. They are prefect for leftovers. That's really our main use for these items.

I was told I could swallow them when my kinesiologist recommended them for adrenal fatigue. I know a lot of people say to chew them, but they taste really bad. I think you can do either.

they are intended for restaurants, and restaurants cant reuse. I use them for my everyday packing and the are very durable i don't see why I would trash them.

Yes, when used properly. I use for a meal replacement either morning or lunch. I also cut back on wheat and sugar.

I guess it depends on what all you're using and size. However, I use them regularly for eating 'meals', with a typical sized dinner plate, glass or two and napkins. I wouldn't want anything too much bigger unless it was being served in bed.

I will be honest and say I am not sure they have helped me lose a lot weight if I had to guess 3-5lbs at the most. What they do for me is curb cravings. If I feel 'snacky' or hungry or want something sweet while sitting at the office I eat two gummies and they seem to fulfill the need to snack so I notice I do not snack on junk food the way I used to. I use these instead.

I don't believe there was info w/them. I was thinking they'd be good to snack on but they were drier than I'd expected. I haven't figured out what to do with them yet. They seem to me like they might be more useful for tea. Guess I missed the "low moisture" :-/

They are a great appetite suppressant, you will loose weight because you aren't hungry so you will eat less. But exercise is always good for toning up.

You can put anything in them. I used to put fresh apples, pears, oranges, frozen cubes of pureed foods such as squash and sweet potatoes; we even put ice chips in to help when she was teething. You can put just about any kind of fresh/frozen fruit or vegetable. Keep in mind these bags are very difficult to clean after a few weeks. I soaked them in hot water after every use and ran them through the dishwasher but food builds up in the seam. Even boiling them did not get it out. If you want to replace every couple weeks these are great, otherwise I would spend a little more for a silicone type.

I've added them to my juices and a few other recipes. I wouldn't say that the seeds specifically helped me lose weight, but they did make me feel full. Hope this answers your question. ;)

Not that I remember. I eat them as snacks, like I would eat crackers or chips.

I'm curious... did you end up using these for fruit snacks? I'm looking for something to make vitamins with gelatin and was wondering if it was difficult to get the snacks out of the tray. Thanks!

Yes, sometimes I have one for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. Tues nights my workouts don't end until 7:45 so I have a Quest Bar and low cal protein smoothie at the gym for dinner and I don't wake up starving.I hope this helps!

Whatever diet you're on, it's safe. These have less fat and less calories than any single other snack choice plus the added minerals and trace vitamins from the seaweed- its almost dilly to ask that question because whatever else you'd be eating, these are less. Guaranteed. All flavors have 60 calories/pkg and are zero carb. See?

I don't know that they will help you lose weight - just help you to eat healthier and that's why you would lose weight. I eat them everyday of my life - I'm a 72 year old very active female and am living large.

Yes, that's exactly what I use it for. I use fruit juice, pured fruits (or applesauce), honey, and sometimes coconut milk to make a wide variety of snacks. I generally keep them in the fridge so they last longer, but they're stable at room temperature if you use the right ratio. I go for 1 cup gelatin to 4 cups liquid, as I'm trying to get more gelatin in my diet. Great for lunch boxes or a healthy anytime snack. If you're clever with your recipes you can sneak in things like beet or Carrot juice, or even well pured spinach.
