The calories in a typical Medifast meal bar? Try 160. Fiber? 15% of your daily value - PER bar! Why is this important? Well, on the calorie front, some of the popular meal replacement bars out there have DOUBLE the calories and FAR more sugar to boot. Remember - you are NOT eating Medifast for protein, or to pack on muscle....you are eating it to SLIM down and lose weight.
