Let's be honest 35% of your recommended daily fiber in a "candy bar" that makes you want to eat the whole box is great thing.
13% of your saturated fats in one bar? Not so good. I believe it balances out for the most part and there is definitely a benefit to making fiber taste good.
Just don't eat more than one until you are used to them.
The chicory root fiber that is in these (and FiberOne) and every other clone product is an incredible generator of intestinal gas in many people. People who eat a lot of foods high in fiber will not likely be as affected, but some will be caught quite by surprise with what happens a couple of hours after you eat one. Reports of people scaring their pets and waking themselves and loved ones up from a sound sleep with the substantial and epic flatulence is not as exaggerated as you might think. Marathon farting with longer durations and louder volume than you have ever experienced is fairly common.
The good news is, the gaseous emanations are very often "all bark and no bite" (to put it delicately) and so can be very entertaining if you have small children or an immature husband (or wife). Just do not eat them prior to bed, church, yoga class, boardroom meetings, dates, long car trips with passengers, crowded movies, using public transportation, job interviews, dentist appointments, doctor's appointments, family reunions ... well, you get the picture.
However, if you get selected by the IRS for an audit, eat a whole box (5 of them) about 1 hour before the scheduled time. This also works for meetings with any government officials or any people you DO NOT wish to ever invite you back.
I am always skeptical of high fiber bars, fearing they will be tasteless and hard to swallow. These Kellogg's bars were a nice surprise. Good chocolate flavor, nice blend of crunchy and sweet. Quite filling. Though a little high in fat (5 g/bar), the fact that they have only 130 calories and 9 g of fiber helped. I will be buying these again.

I don't know about how well they work (fiber and all) yet (although I would like to know what the ratio of insoluble v soluble fiber is rather than the generic amount as I can't find that info on their website), but the Dark Chocolate Almond are by far the best tasting of these kind of bars I have ever had. Seriously, really taste good. 5 stars are based on taste and that I don't blow the bank with 130 calories. Hopeful that the antioxidants and fiber are actually beneficial.

A great tasting bar, but I broke all human records for methane output during a single day. If you want to impress the boys in the frat house, this is the product for you. Beans are chump change next to these things, I'm not kidding. Be careful!

Unbelievable good taste! You get the fiber, the anti-oxidants, the whole grains and super good taste with dark chocolate that is of course better for our health.
I have tried other fiber bars and have been extremely disappointed. Fiber one out ranks them all!
Both hubby and me eat them everyday! Great snack food that is so good for our bodies.
I highly recommend them!
This is a staple food at our house. It's the only cereal that my children (all eight of them) NEVER get tired of! It has a wonderful toasty corn taste, yet it's packed with good-for-you stuff. Amazon's price (especially when their special is going) is outstanding.
