 Great for getting your fiber up...not for the weak stomach peeps Feb 05, 2009
By Karyn
I have been eating Fiber One bars for 2 years now, and I've lost 50lbs. I am a runner and I'm always thinking of ways to increase my fiber intake. Luckily Fiber One products have me covered. These bars are so easy to take with you; to the gym, work, lunch, as a snack! I buy them in bulk now and enjoy them in my lunches. The recommended amount of fiber a person should have a day is about 18-25 grams...and this one little bar can take care of 9 of those grams! How awesome is that?! I love the chocolate ones the best, but they now have a new one call chocolate mocha! And the gas that people have talked about on these reviews goes away once your body is able to handle more fiber. I have none of those side effects now. Enjoy!

Fiber One Bars May 03, 2008
By L. Barnhart
I have bought the Fiber One Bars in Oats & Chocolate, and Oats & Peanut Butter. I love them both. The Chocolate are my personal favorite. It's nice to me to have them individually wrapped for a quick snack or meal to keep in my car while I'm driving to jobs or between jobs. The taste is sweet and satisfies my sweet tooth without a lot of the guilt and it does fill you up and has 35% fiber. It's especially nice to order groceries through Amazon when they are having sales and then get them delivered for free to your door. My kind of grocery shopping! You won't go wrong with these snacks or meals!

Tastes great, but not exactly a "health" bar. Jan 05, 2012
By Scott
I bought these to try to supplement my fiber intake without having to deal with powders and pills. Over the last few years I've found that increasing my fiber intake is a great way of losing weight and maintaining it, so I try to get around 30g a day. Foods high in fiber fill you up more quickly and aid in digestion, The Daily Recommended Value of fiber for adults is 25g per day. Most people in America probably get much less than that, closer to 7-10g a day. At 9g of fiber per serving, just eating one of these bars a day will provide a lot of assistance in meeting the DRV.
In addition to the fiber content, the bars really taste great. I've never been a fan of granola-type bars, and figured with a name like "Fiber One" these would taste like cardboard, but they are one of the best meal bars I've eaten. They are moist and have a good texture. All of the ingredients seem fresh.
At 4g, these bars are very low in saturated fat (they contain poly and monounsaturated fats - the "good fats). Total net carbohydrates is 19G (28g-9g of fiber), so they do contain a little more sugar than I would like (it is the third largest ingredient). Here is the nutritional info:
Calories - 140
Total Fat - 4g (2g saturated)
Carbohydrates - 29g
Fiber - 9g
Protein - 2g
My only real problem with these bars are the ingredients. They are fairly heavily processed. The second main ingredient is "Semisweet chocolate chips." Following that are whole grain oats, and then corn syrup. Although these are a fairly significant source of additional fiber, I would have preferred they not add all the extra sugar.

 Yummy Bar-Bad Gas Jan 14, 2011
By Judith A. Monroe
Yes, indeed! These are really yummy bars with a delightful chewy texture, but OH MY GOSH! THE GAS! I ate one this morning and am still suffering from gas and groaning bowels. I don't give up easily, either. I got a box of 30 of these things from Costco and have "tested" about half of them and the same thing has happened every time I've eaten one. I am giving up and throwing the rest out. Please note that the first listed ingredient is chicory root extract. I looked that up online and found out that chicory root is a mild laxative! Goodbye tasty little bars!

Excellent snack bars! Apr 20, 2008
By The Lady
When I tasted my first Fiber One bar, the only thought running through my head was, "why on earth didn't I buy more of these?" These bars taste better than any high fiber bar out there. I had to read and re-read the nutritional information. There are 9 grams of fiber in each bar. Imagine eating something REALLY good and good for you. I can't say that about too many food items. But, I gladly recommend this product. Every flavor has an outstanding taste. Even my three year old loves them. Need I say anything more?
