Compare total fat per 100g first, then check the amount in the bar you would eat; a smaller portion or a lower-sugar claim does not establish that a snack bar is reduced-fat. Among four directly comparable bars listed by Tesco Groceries, nakd. Blueberry Muffin has the lowest total fat at 11g per 100g and 3.9g per 35g bar, but its label also lists 17g sugars per bar and cashews and almonds as ingredients. That is a finding about those four bars, not a reduced-fat claim or a comparison of every revision snack.
If limiting fat is your main criterion for a revision snack, compare the nutrition panels per 100g as well as per bar. Names such as Light and claims about sugar or individual ingredients do not tell you the total fat in the finished bar.
If protein, fibre or sugars also affect your choice, check each figure for the portion you will eat. A bar that fits one of those preferences need not have the lowest total fat.
Check the exact pack’s ingredients and precautionary allergen statements before making a bar a regular desk snack. Dietary descriptions such as vegan or gluten-free do not answer a separate nut or soy allergy concern.
Start with total fat on a like-for-like basis, then use the serving size and other label details to decide whether a particular bar fits your revision break.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Total fat | Compare total fat per 100g across bars, then check grams of fat per bar. Assess any reduced-fat wording for the complete product, not an ingredient. | I want to limit fat without mistaking a small bar or a Light name for a lower-fat recipe. |
| Sugars and portion | Read sugars per bar separately from total fat and note the bar’s weight. Tesco Groceries lists 17g sugars and 3.9g fat per 35g nakd. Blueberry Muffin bar. | A no-added-sugar description does not settle my separate question about how much sugar is in the bar I will eat. |
| Protein and fibre | Compare protein and fibre for the same serving size, alongside fat. Tesco Groceries lists 7g protein, 4.7g sugars and 9.7g fat per 36g Nature Valley Protein Chocolate & Orange bar. | If protein or fibre matters to me, I still want to see the bar’s fat figure rather than choosing from its front-of-pack description alone. |
| Allergens | Read the exact pack’s ingredient list and precautionary statements. Check dietary labels independently of nut, peanut, milk, soy and gluten-containing cereal ingredients. | I need a bar that meets my ingredient requirements, not just one with suitable nutrition figures. |
Those descriptions concern different product characteristics. Tesco Groceries lists 9.7g fat per 36g Nature Valley Protein Chocolate & Orange bar alongside its lower-sugar positioning.
Compare total fat per 100g and per bar, and assess a reduced-fat claim only when it applies to the complete product.
Tesco Groceries lists 17g naturally occurring sugars per 35g nakd. Blueberry Muffin bar. Its sugar figure remains relevant even if its fat figure suits your comparison.
Read sugars and total fat as separate entries on the nutrition panel for the portion you intend to eat.
Tesco Groceries lists 10.4g protein and 11.4g fat per 40g Eat Natural Salted Caramel protein bar. The protein figure does not establish a lower total-fat level.
If limiting fat comes first, compare that figure before weighing protein against your other preferences.
A vegan or gluten-free description does not rule out nuts, peanuts or soy. Ingredients and precautionary statements can also differ between variants.

No: those are separate characteristics. Tesco Groceries and Joybuy list 17g sugars and 3.9g fat per 35g nakd. Blueberry Muffin bar, with the sugars described as naturally occurring. Read each figure for the portion you plan to eat.
Among the four directly comparable product labels from Tesco Groceries, nakd. Blueberry Muffin has the lowest total fat at 11g per 100g and 3.9g per 35g bar. This limited comparison does not establish a reduced-fat claim or identify the lowest-fat bar across the UK market.
Read the ingredient list and precautionary statements on the exact pack, including when a bar carries a vegan or gluten-free description.

Follow each pack’s storage instructions and best-before date. The Tesco Groceries listings for nakd. Blueberry Muffin and Eat Natural Salted Caramel specify a cool, dry place.
