protein bars?

[trishfish 1]

I see a lot on here about favorite Protein shakes...but I was wondering about Protein Bars? where do you get yours? what's your favorite brand/flavor.....and how many grams of protein do you look for in a bar? thanks for your input!

I love the thinkThin Protein bars....especially the creamy Peanut Butter. I get mine at Trader Joe's for about $1.69/bar. They have 20g of Protein, 0g sugar and 230 calories.

This is just my opinion:

I would recommend on purchasing bars that have around 1g of protein per 10 calories....and really watch the carb content! Some of the 'protein' bars on the market have very little protein in them! I know that the SpecialK Protein Meal Bars have only 10g of protein and 15g of sugars. Try to get the biggest bang of protein for your caloric intake.

I really think that it is a personal choice which protein bars you like. I have tried A TON of them and the thinkThin is what I found I could eat day after day. My recommendation is to buy 10-15 different kinds and just try them!

Good luck!

I eat Quest Protein Bars. They only sell them online but I've found that a lot of other protein bars are full of too many carbs to fit my wants/needs nutritionally. These have 4 net carbs, 230 calories, and 20g of protein. I love the vanilla almond kind.

I'm glad I found them as I HATE Protein Shakes.< /span>
