I picked up one of those Dang bars the other day, Saigon Cinnamon and Chocolate. I haven't eaten it yet. Are they any good?

[ShottleBop]

I picked up a trial pack (2 each of six different flavors). So far, I've tried two. They tend to be on the dry side (unlike the Love Good Fats bars, which I had to keep in the refrigerator to keep from melting, even in mild heat).  The chocolate sea salt was not a delight, but the cardamom chai was very good--I'd definitely have that one again (but not as part of a nutritious breakfast--see the results of that test, below (I do appreciate having a meter and test strips)).

Sunday, July 7:

6:10 AM (FBG, before breakfast):  107
Breakfast: avocado, Carbmaster strawberry yogurt, coffee with heavy cream, Dang That's Good! cardamom chai keto bar (bought a trial pack, wanted to check them out)
10:07 AM: 111 (The cardamom chai bar is really good, but even though it's keto, too many carbs for breakfast. They'll have to remain afternoon/evening snacks)

Then snack: 1 oz. cinnamon vodka

11:00 AM (snack):  1 oz. Irish whiskey

12:32 PM (before lunch):  91
Lunch: 3 slices pastrami, 1/8 wheel triple-cream brie, 1/4 cup unsalted mixed nuts

2:10 PM (snack):  coffee with heavy cream

4:15 PM (snack):  1/2 cup TJ's almond/cashew/macadamia milk (my son had bought it, and offered me a taste:  it was fine, and I'd drink it if I felt like having a glass of milk, but I haven't been a big milk drinker for decades--ever since discovering, during college, that I have a mild lactose intolerance that limits my milk intake)

5:13 PM   (before dinner): 92
Dinner: grilled eye-of-round steak (4 oz.), lettuce with ranch dressing, low-carb chocolate/peanut butter ice cream

7:00 PM (at the musical "Rock of Ages," playing at a local theatre; the story is set inside a bar, which actually sold drinks before the start of the play and during intermission)(snack):  a full pour of Blood Orange sour IPA.

10:00 PM (back home): 87

Thanks for the input. I usually only eat 1/4-1/3 of a bar at a time, even if it says Keto. The bar I have has 11g carbs and 6g fiber, so it is pretty carby.
