Best Protein bars with Low sugar low calories...



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm looking for some suggestions on some good Protein Bars (higher protein) with little to no sugar (under 5g) under 200 calories, and low carbs. Any suggestions?

I spent a lot of time looking for something I could carry around in case I got hungry and couldn't eat soon. So many Protein bars are loaded with sugar. It is a trade off. I tried to strike a balance with fat, salt, sugar, protein and carbs. Kashi TLC bars are like granola so they are highest in carbs (19g), not as high protein as some (7g) but only 5g fat (0.5 sat), 115mg sodium, 5g sugar, and 4g Fiber (1 soluble, 3 insoluble). I carry them with me all the time. I find a lot of the protein bars lean toward chocolate flavors and tend to be high in sugar. I buy the TLC bars in a bulk box at costco (has 3 flavors--Honey Almond Flax, Peanut Peanut Butter, and Trail Mix).

My favorites are "Pure Protein" High Protein bars.

I get them at my local Walmart or Target. There are 4 different flavors and all but one is under 5g of fat. They have either 19 or 20g of Protein per bar depending on the flavor and most are 180 calories. They taste good too. I took the box in for my doc to look at and he said they seemed like a good choice, but stay away from the one that is 6g of fat.

They run around $6.00 for a box of 6. Target sells them individually so you can give the different flavors a try to see what you like.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
