WHAT: Fiber One 90 Calorie baked bars in new flavors

STATS: One bar contains 90 calories and 3 fat, 18 carbohydrate, 1 protein and 5 fiber grams. We found them at Wal-Mart, 700 S. Bowman Road, Little Rock. Visit fiberone.com.

THE SKINNY: Sweet, tart and tasty, Fiber One’s new 90 Calorie Lemon Bar is definitely no lemon. Neither is its new sugar-and-spice and-everything-nice Cinnamon Coffee Cake.

These individually wrapped treats join the favorably textured lineup of Fiber One’s 90-calorie brownies in chocolate fudge, chocolate peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie.

They are sold in boxes of six bars. But do not, under any circumstance, eat six (of these or any Fiber One bars) at one time!

A main ingredient: Chicory root extract. Google it and proceed with caution.
