Nutrigrain Bars

[brittneynicole 0]

So I feel kind of dumb asking but i'm pretty new (banded on 3-23-12) but I was wondering if anyone was eating Nutrigrain bars? I haven't had one since my surgery and i've been following the doctor's meal plan but I was wondering if those were okay to eat eventually? Also any other food ideas would be great!

it really depends on the nutritional makeup. I would recommend Quest bars- they are high in Protein and Fiber and approx 160-200 calories.

Just looked 120 Cal for 3 g of Protein. I would give them a pass. Look for Pure Protein Bars about 180 Cal for 20 grams of Protein. Or just eat an apple if on the go. Considering the crap I used to eat; I'm not going to sweat the natural sugars from an apple!

I agree- go for a bar higher in protien and lower in carbs. I like Atkins Peanut Butter bars. Atkins also makes a granola bar that is better on the go because it isn't covered in "chocolate" that melts.

Before I was banded (3/22/12) I loved the Nature Valley Protein Bars (dark chocolate and PB).. 10 g Protein, 190 cal, 12 g fat thought. Not sure how well those will go down though because they are kinda sticky... any thoughts??
