I bought these over a month ago, along with another version.
THEY ARE OMFG DELICIOUS.
Having said that, are they diet material?
I've decided to do a comparison between the Atkins version and the real Snickers, because basically this is a Snickers knock off.
In the interest of fairness, I've actually done the math so that one serving of Atkins (34grams) had the same weight as the Snickers. So I used data from the Snickers 2 to go, 47grams 2 servings. Of course it's still not perfect, because of the chocolate covering and blablabla...
Atkins 34 grams Snickers 34 grams So Atkins...
Calories 130Kcal 159.2Kcal -29.2Kcal
Calories from fat 80Kcal 72Kcal -8Kcal
Total fat 8g 8g same
Saturated fat 4g 2.6g +1.4grams
Cholesterol <5mg 3.6mg negligible
Sodium 70mg 83.2mg -6.8mg
Total Carbohydrate 17g 20.3g -3.3g
Dietary Fiber 6g 0.5g +5.5g
Sugars 1g 16.6g -15.6g
Protein 5g 2.9g +2.1g
So, what do you think?
Is it worth it? Should we just avoid chocolate all together? These snacks aren't on the cheap side...

Yummy Skewers
Here's something we love to eat at home:
This with some tasty salad makes for a yummy dinner :) I also take it to work in my lunch box, but I remove the food from the skewers first!
Skewers with onion, chicken breast, spring onion, pumpkin and garlic. I don't add any seasoning. |
I'm not sure about the calorie count, but It should be little more than the chicken, all the other things are very low calorie.
