Also keep in mind that high calorie does not always mean bad. Stuff like nuts (which are often in granola and granola bars) are pretty high calorie, but they're good for you. Just don't go eating handful after handful or else, yeah, suddenly you have a quarter or even half your daily caloric intake.
Most commercial bars like granola bars aren't very good anyway since they have artificial sweeteners and/or preservatives in them. I'm going to be making some homemade granola tonight; rolled oats, honey, butter, vanilla, salt, and cashews. It's probably not the best thing, calorie and sugar-wise, that I could eat, but I'd rather eat that and know what's in it, than some low-cal store bought stuff with aspertame or whatever in it.
