Any opinions on Sesame Snaps as a snack?
I tend to eat them as an alternative to biscuits, cereal bars etc.
Does the high sugar content out weigh the nutrtional value of the sesame seeds?
Thanks
Sam

Sorry 
Good or bad for a cleanish bulk - bearing in mind I am currently eating a 30g pack per day.
Would I be better off seeking out a 'healthier' snack to have with my morning cuppa?
Hope that's enough info. to make a judgement.

Well, there is still goodness in the seeds, but they are really high sugar.
Unless you really don't care how much sugar you are eating, you are better to just eat the seeds.
If you love seeds try my soy seed mix:

Thanks, I like the sound of that, but would the cooking not destroy some of the goodness of the EFA's?

Would I be better off seeking out a 'healthier' snack to have with my morning cuppa? Probably not.

I don't think so - maybe Nige could enlighten us.

Tbh, your comparing biscuits(also high in sugar) to sesame seeds in hard syrup.
Personally, id avoid both on a cut (they're fairly empty, unsatisfying calories) but they do taste amazing.
IN the longterm, it wont hurt you - Its perhaps ~100kcal treat, plus your bulking and that phase should include some fun or you'll go crazy.
