Raising the Bar: What's a Healthy Snack on the Go?

We have all been there – between meetings running from one thing to the other. Your stomach is yelling at you, but what to have? You pull into a convenience store or grab a quick granola snack from the pantry – is it the right healthy snack? Here is an article that I found helpful with an equation to determine if your snack bar measures up. Of course, like the article says, when you have time you should always reach for the whole foods like fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds to snack on.
But let's face it, sometimes that just isn't happening!

(Sugar + Carbohydrates - Fiber) / (Fat + Protein) = The CORE Ratio (2 or under)

  1. why do you add the sugar to the carbs when the sugar is already counted in the carb count. Doesn't that just mean you are counting the sugar twice?
