Shanny 70 Posted March 28, 2011 I just tried the Atkins Day Break Apple Crisp Bar. OMG, that sucker was DELICIOUS!!! It's 130 calories, 10 grams of Protein, and 17 total carbs, but 4 net carbs. It is uber yummy. A great little sweet apple cinnamon protein pick me up in between Breakfast and lunch! So far K-mart is the only place I've seen this flavor. Plus there were coupons for Atkins Protein Bars in last Sunday's Baltimore Sun. $1.50 off any 2 boxes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad there are no K-Marts in Canada, and the atkins website charges $6.29 per bar!! This is outrageous. How much do the protein bars cost at K-mart and does anyone know how I could get some in Canada? Im sick and tired of Cookies and cream flavoured protein bars, I think it is time for a change!

Shanny 70 Posted May 16, 2011 Since I've posted this I've found them in some Walmarts, too. They are $5.50 a box. While the drug store near me does have the Atkins bars, just not this flavor. Try Amazon. I've seen them there pretty cheap, too. Also, the almond cranberry is pretty tastey, too! I want this soo bad! Apple Cinnamon is my favorite flavor by far!

Shanny 70 Posted May 16, 2011 I try to keep my carbs under 50, but occassionally they go up to 55, so that's not so bad. I get about 700-800 calories a day. It seems to be working. I notice though if I just eat Protein for lunch or dinner, I don't try to have any veggies, I can usually get in a little more calories...plus I think it depends on how active I am in the day too. My doctor said he's not going to give me number, just that the 450 calories a day I was at was too few. I'm losing weight just fine on the 700-800 calories and all of my blood work is coming back fine. Well, my good cholesterol is low, so I rearranged what I was eating to try to get different types of Protein in. Still equalled out the same amount of calories.

How long did it take you to work up to 700-800 calories? I'm one month out and averaging about 350. And the weight is not falling off which scares me. I lost 1.5 last week. But I'm really not comfortable health wise being at this low of a calorie intake and I think it's actually defeating the weight loss process. Today was a bad day. I wasn't even able to eat 2 ounces of cottage cheese for lunch. I got a bit over 1 ounce in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 22, 2011 You can get Atkins bars at vitacost.com They have every possible thing you can think of. It's $4.99 shipping but they offer free shipping very often. I think it's free shipping right now on orders over $49. I get my BSN Lean Dessert Protein Powder there too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shanny 70 Posted May 25, 2011 It took me about 2 months to get up to 700 calories. Quite honestly, most days I'm around 650. I started doing things to increase my calories. For example, with my Protein shake I use the unflavored unjury, 1 cup of lactose free 2% milk, 1 tbsp of low fat Hershey's chocolate Syrup, 1 tbps of reduced fat Peanut Butter, and about 10 almonds. That in itself is around 400 calories and 33 grams of Protein. Granted, I can't drink the whole thing - it takes about 2 hours. The more stuff I put in it the harder it is for me to finish it. But, since I can drink more calories than eat, I make sure my Protein Shake really counts. I usually have a shake for breakfast. It takes time, but eventually you will be able to get a little more in. Right now I'm up to 4.5 oz of food at a time, which is better than the 1 oz I was at after surgery. I still measure everything too. I noticed when I s tarted increasing my calories I s tarted losing more weight, plus I had more energy to exercise!

Did your doctor tell you how many carbs daily and the amount of calories you should be consuming? Hi Twin... I had my surgery on the same day as you and my doctor told me to keep the carbs to no more than 30g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
