There is 30g of protein out of a 100g serving. You're getting 30% protein and 70% junk. Corn syrup and enriched flour wouldn't really make you full. It'll spike your blood sugar and make you hungrier and crave more food.
For comparison, this METRX bar has 410 calories, 12g of fat, 47g of carbs, 27g of added sugar, 30g of protein.
A regular Snicker's bar has 250 calories, 12g of fat, 33g of carbs, 27g of added sugar, 4g of protein.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the convenience of high protein meal replacement bars. There are cleaner options (though more expensive) like sans meal replacement. But personally I would go for an optimum nutrition individually packaged protein shake + a nuts and dried fruit trail mix.
TLDR: This METRX bar is just a glorified snicker's bar with added protein.

A meal replacement bar will mimic a meal by having some amount of fats, carbs, and protein.
The source of the three is what's important. I don't mind a lot of carbs in a bar, but i try to limit the added sugars and to make sure the majority of carbs are complex carbs.

For people who are trying to find the product, they stock them at my local Walmart's and some best buy's now have single bars as well as some CVS's.
For those who are very concerned with sugar please drink at least 2 cups of water after eating this bar so that you can flush your system.
Edit: It does have 21g of sugar alcohol though... lol
