Default Is this a Good Protein Bar?

I am trying to find a good protein bar to help me build muscle, but I am also trying to cut my body fat down from 16% (38 yo male, 6' 1" 195#), so I wanted to avoid something with a lot of sugars and other bad stuff. I have been eating Oh Yeah protein bars, which have the nutrition info shown below. Is that a good bar for me? 380 cals seems like a lot for a bar with 26g protein. Is there a better choice for me?

Calories 380
Calories from Fat 180
Total Fat 19g 30%
Saturated Fat 7g 33%
Trans Fat 0g

Cholesterol 5mg 1%
Sodium 130mg 5%
Total Carbohydrate 31g 10%
Dietary Fiber 4g 15%
Sugars 8g
Sugar Alcohol 15g*
Protein 26g 52%

Vitamin A 0%
Vitamin C 0%
Calcium 6%
Iron 10%

Ingredients:
Peanuts, Protein Blend [(Oh Yeah!

i would only use a protein bar if you are in a crunch for time, or out and cant get a deceat bite to eat.
As already stated in your other post, buy some turkey breast or chicken, colds cuts of those are way better than a protein bar, even with the insane sodium.
The bar you list is horribly high in fat, id never eat that thing. Im not big on pissing away money on supplements like that when you can spend it on real food.

Hey Thurman,

I can recommend a great protein bar. It's part of a line of supplements and nutritional cleansing products that cleanse the body of the junk that is put into our food supply like herbicides, pesticides, hormones injected into cattle etc. Let me know if you'd like more info.
