Fat and sugar combine to drive this bar's calorie density. A meta-analysis of 31 RCTs (Arisi et al., Nutrients 2024) found cocoa products lowered LDL by ~9.5 mg/dL, but milk chocolate carries less cocoa so the benefit shrinks fast. Per 100 g: 530 kcal, 30.4 g fat, 60 g sugar.
How should I track Heath Bites?
The trickiest part about tracking Heath Bites is that small portions pack a lot of calories, and most people estimate sweet portions poorly.
