Larabars, Cliff Bars, etc.......Energy Bars

[redrhodie]

I really like Larabars, but with the amount of calories/fat, I find I will eat one as a meal replacement. Should these be pre/post workout food?

I bet it would be okay to replace a meal with one, with the addition of something else, maybe something like cottage cheese or yogurt. I need meals to be at least 400 calories. Alone, they'd be good pre or post ride, or you could cut it in half and have it for both.
