High Protein, Low Calorie Bars

[Oregon Rose 2]

Name your favorite high Protein, low calorie bars and tell us where you buy them.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

My favorite is Premier. They are at costco. they are not very low calorie though. They are really big. They have 30 grams of Protein for 300 calories. I usually eat half at a time and I am full.

I like the Pure Protein chocolate/peanut butter.

They are 200 calories, 20 grams of Protein and 16 grams of carbs. Now, I'll post that they do contain 6 or 7 grams of Sugar Alcohol which some people say contribute to gassy issues. I haven't had that problem, and they remind me of a Whatchamacallit candy bar. I have everyday either before or after my workout regimen.

Thanks Oregon Daisy and Tiffy for you feedback on bars.

I have recently tried the following:

Zone Perfect Fudge Graham (210 cal, 14g Protein, 23 g carbs) It was good. :001_tt2:

Zone Perfect chocolate Coconut (210 cal, 15g Protein, 23g carbs) It was good. :001_tt2:

Balance Almond Brownie (200 cal, 15g protein, 21 g carbs) I didn't care for it, but others who like an all chocolate might like it. :laugh:

Balance Gold Caramel Nut (210 cal, 15g protein, 23g carbs) It was really, really, good. :drool5:

All of these I bought at Whole Foods.

I have a few more bars to try, so I will report back later.

Best wishes,

My favorite bars are from BariWise - Caramel Crunch & Peanut Butter. I buy them online (BariatricChoice.com). The caramel crunch bar taste like a $100 Grand candy bar; the peanut butter bar reminds me of a Reese's Peanut Butter cup with a chewy center. Both are AWESOME and I have them for dessert. Each is 150 calories and 15 grams of Protein.< /span>

Linda-

Thanks for the suggestion. I plan to try them!

Since I've started having 1 Protein bar per day, it has been a lot easier to get my Protein in. I'm also feeling less hungry.

Here are more bars I bought at Whole Foods and tried:

Greens+ whey Krisp: Yuk! Yuk! Yuk! :001_tongue::scared0::cursing: This bar is actually green! I couldn't eat more than 1 bite.

Think Thin chocolate Fudge: Yuk! :tongue_smilie:

Think Thin Chunky Peanut Butter: Yuk! :tongue_smilie: Tastes like Vitamins.

I'll post back in a few more days when I have tried more bars.

Best wishes,

I can't try any right now (8 days post-op) but I have been researching. I am really looking for all natural. The two I want to try the most are Oh Yeah Natural and the high-Protein version of organic food bar: Our Amazingly Healthy, Outrageously Good ORGANIC food BARS

Before surgery I loved loved Larabar and things like that. I am hoping to find an all natural but high in Protein replacement.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I love the Oh Yeah bars. I love the choc. mint.

I try to get bars that have more Protein than carbs.

[Oregon Rose 2]

So, how much Protein do Oh Yeah Bars have and where do you get them?

Here are a few more I have tried:

Balance Tripple chocolate Chaos, 210 cal, 14g Protein, 23g carbs. :thumbup1: Yum!

Zone Perfect chocolate Mint, 210 cal, 14g protein, 24g carbs. Yuk!

Later.

I bought a box of the Oh Yeah bars

at GNC. the last box my daughter

ordered and I will have to ask

her where she got them. We placed

an order together and I have no

idea where she ordered from.

Reporting on some more bars:

Balance Mocha Chip Bar :tongue_smilie: Not terrible, but not the best

Balance Cookie Dough Bar :001_tt2: Good - tastes a little like a Three Musketeers

Balance chocolate Bar :tongue_smilie: Not terrible, but not the best

Balance chocolate Raspberry Bar :thumbdown: didn't care for this one at all

Balance Honey Peanut Bar :001_tt2: Good

I also bought a sample box of BariWise Bars. I cut a little piece off the bars and tried them all. The three I liked the best were:

Caramel Crunch :drool5:

Peanut Butter :drool5:

Rocky Road :drool5:

The BariWise Bars are better than most of the bars I have tried. They also have a good amount of Protein for the calories.

The BariWise Bars I liked the least were:

Double Peanut Butter (why take the chocolate coating off?) :tongue_smilie:

strawberry Cheesecake :tongue_smilie:

Not bad, but also not the best of the bunch were two bars with vanilla coating:

Caramel Brownie :001_smile:

oatmeal :001_smile:

Best wishes to all,

[carolyn24seven 11]

thanks for posting thoes reports. I bought zone perfect bars from costco, they are OK but I am going to try the BariWise now, from your recommedations. Thanks again for this post!

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Where do you get the BariWise.< /strong>

I wrote down the web site my daughter got the Oh Yeah bars but now I can't find the paper I wrote it on. I know it's the Protein something. Maybe the Protein shop or protein online. I just know it's better to get them that have more protein than carbs and that's hard to do. My dr. said that net carbs is a bunch of bunk. He said our bodies really don't know the difference between artificial sugar or real sugar and carbs or sugar just make us crave more carbs or sugar.

When I was eating bars, I liked the Medifast bars because all of them taste good, have only 100 cals, and are high in Protein, 15 gms, and only 15 gm carbs..but they are pricey. I might try the BariWise bars, they are much cheaper.
