I live in SoCal, so I also have to avoid bars that might melt. Chewy granola bars do not handle well, but cereal bars do. Looking at my pantry, Trader Joe fig bars have 27 grams of carbs, but only 2g of protein. Honey Stinger waffles have the same amount of grams, but half the protein. Why are they around $1 per waffle? They do taste great and love that they pack flat.

I find Clif Bars junk, mostly sugar, but they do hold up in the heat. It might be hotter in Texas, but you are in the flats. When I am climbing Mt. Wilson on a bike, there are no stores to replenish my food supplies, except at the top. I cannot deviate from the only road just to grab something from a store. There is a ranger station halfway for water.

BTW, Clif Bars should be $1 at Whole Foods or Trader Joes, or at least they used to be.
