I am looking for a low carb Protein Bar recipe. I may just have to experiment if I can't find one that sounds good. I have found a lot of recipes, but most are super high calorie, or high carb or both. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm hooked on the South Beach Living Crispy Meal Bars. They are all good but I especially like the chocolate Peanut Butter. They are packed full of nutrients, 12 grams of Protein, have 180 calories, 5 grams of sugars and 25 grams carbs. I know the carb count could be better but I have not had a problem losing weight eating this bar everyday for Breakfast.< /p>

Sorry, I don't have a recipe for you. Just thought I'd give you a suggestion of something to try.... :)

the pre-op diet my doctor gave me said be sure and count only net carbs. I don't really know how to do that but the adkins tells you net carbs. It may show 25 carbs on the back but the front says only 2 net carbs. so you may want to google net carbs and find out how to figure that. Hope that helps.

I really like Pure Protein Bars. They have 20g of protein.... 180 calories.... 4.5g fat.....2g sugar.... 17g carbs

They are very filling and make a good snack.< /p>

Also... you can buy them at costco and Sam's Club.

Goodluck!

I make my own Protein bars/smacks.

chocolate Peanut Butter

4 Squares unsweetened bakers chocolate

2 cups Adam's natural Peanut Butter

8 scoops Body Fortress choc/ peanutbutter Protein powder

splenda to taste I use less than 1/3 c.

melt chocolate in micro add peanut butter to soften 1 more min.

mix with Protein Powder.

I use mini muffin tins and fill to top.

refrigrateto set

Serving size 1

165 calories

2.75 net carbs

10gr Protein

I keep these in the fridge because of the Peanut Butter.

These might be high in fat but here's another one I make with

Cream cheese .

exchange the Peanut butter with 2- 8 oz packages of cream cheese

everything eles is the same.

I use a 5x7 baking pan, cut into 24 squares

Calories 157

Protein 10gr

Carbs 2gr

these are chewy.

Thanks a bunch for the ideas!

Im pretty sure the net carbs are after you subtract the Fiber and any sugar alcohol carbs.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
