But this is largely smoke and mirrors: any food bar that says "energy" on the label is actually just another candy bar loaded with refined sugars. That's the key word to look for: energy.

Search for bars that have 150 or less calories. Then check the ingredients. Avoid those with artificial flavorings, artificial sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup or trans fats.
