Fast Bar is high in plant-based fat because it contains a whole serving of nuts.

It’s unlikely that the bar causes constipation. Constipation arises for many reasons, including dehydration, medication use, and lack of physical activity. The small amount of fiber in Fast Bar can actually help alleviate constipation when caused by insufficient dietary fiber. If your symptoms are severe or don’t resolve on their own, please talk to your medical provider. 

Fast Bar can be used as an occasional healthy, convenient snack by anyone, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, to be clear, we don’t recommend any type of fasting during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Pregnancy and breastfeeding have special nutrient requirements and fasting of any kind may take away from the opportunity to consume the required nutrients.
