Favorite protein bars



Recommended Posts

What is everyone's favorite Protein bar/food brand and what are your favorite flavors? My weight loss has been very slow to date, so I'm going back to shakes and supplements for 2 meals a day to see if that gets things going better. I've only lost 36 pounds in going on 5 months. Thanks for your help.

Zone bars are my favorite kind. I like the dark chocolate flavors. These bars are not low-carb, though. Myoplex Lite are not bad, either, my favorite flavor is Peanut Butter. You have to read the labels on these things, a lot of them don't actually have that much Protein for the amount of calories you are getting - you'd be better off with beef or turkey Jerky in some cases. And a lot of the low carb ones have a ton of fat. I've seen some bars with 35 g of fat!

I eat the Premier Nutrition Protein Bars that are sold at costco and Sam's Club. There are 3 flavors in each box of 12. They have 30g of Protein, 7g of fat and 280 calories. These are the only ones I can stand the taste of, and I've tried many many kinds. If you go to a store like the Vitamine Shoppe, they'll let you return them if you don't like the flavor and they have tons to choose from.

I like the Atkin's bars and Pure Protein. Mostly because they have lower net carbs, and they still taste decent. The Pure Protein ones come in two different sizes, and the small ones are perfect sized, but I can't eat a whole large one in one sitting.

I eat the Premeire from costco too and the Oh yeah bars. I love the Peanut Butter chocolate. I'll have to get one and post what it says for fat grams. I know they are 200 calories and 15 grams of Protein.< /p>

Those are my fave too! Actually I think the Premier Protein have 30g protein, 280 calories. Very filling and tasty. Honestly I keep thinking I must be cheating when I eat them because they are so good. Double chocolate are yummy too!

Sorry about that! Actually I like protein bars WAY better than Protein Drinks. I am dreading my first few weeks post vsg because I am an eater, not a drinker! I know it is a short phase though and will pass quickly. I Hope my results are comparable to yours!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
