Okay, yes it may be scary for you to see almost 300 calories from 1 bar. But, recall that this is a protein bar and ideally meant for active folks. I normally would have this on a workout day and I am aware of the calorie count as well as the sodium count. So, you simply would balance it out with the activity of your day and your sodium intake for the day.

It gives everything you would need for a workout day: fat, carbs, protein, and vitamins and nutrients. I would definitely recommend this bar and would buy it again in a heartbeat. It's one of the wholesome brands out there, and the ingredients reflect this.
