How to Use Clif Builder's Bars for Weight Loss

Many people struggle to battle their cravings during a weight-loss regimen. One solution to this struggle is to fill up on healthy snacks rather than succumbing to junk food. Filled with 20 grams of protein and 23 different vitamins, the Clif brand Builder's protein bar is a highly nutritional snack. According to Clif's website, the Builder's bar has no trans fats or hydrogenated oils and is considered an "all natural" protein bar. The Builder's bar alone cannot help you lose weight, but it can be used successfully as part of a well-rounded diet and fitness regimen.

  Incorporate the Clif Builder's bar into a healthy, well-rounded diet. The Clif Builder's bar is not a meal replacement and should not be used as such. Determine the number of calories you should be eating a day by consulting a nutritionist, and then account for the 270-calorie Builder's bar in your diet plan. According to AmericanHeart.org, a moderately active adult female in her 30s should consume about 2,000 calories a day and a moderately active adult male in his 30s should consume 2,400 to 2,600 calories a day. These numbers vary depending on age and lifestyle and should only be used as guidelines.
