meal bars
Wrapped food rectangles
Meal bars are packaged food bars designed to replace a full meal, typically containing balanced proportions of protein, carbohydrates, and fats along with added vitamins and minerals.
They're marketed to busy people who need portable nutrition: I grabbed a meal bar between meetings.
Distinguished from protein bars or energy bars by their higher calorie content and more complete nutritional profile.
