well I wouldn't eat the Atkins bars but not because of the fat content.

The AHA and the ADA are still looking at their stances on sat fat now they are blaming trans fats as the culprit in many things if you read the newer stuff. dome of the newest studies show the plaque in arteries isn't sat fat based so the stances may change again.

Eat real food as your meals not bars and pack as emergency supplies real foods not mythical magical counting noncounting carbs. The only proven compound to contain calories and carbohydrates that enter your mouth and exit your body without any idgestion of those carbs and cals is fiber.

Blech, I wouldn't eat the bars either. Give me a prime rib for my saturated fat ANYDAY!!

Bear in mind, we burn fat for FUEL .. and if you exercise rigorously, obviously you can eat more fat and you should! Healthy fats like omega 3s are best, but for my part, I love the saturated fats!
