Do they exist? All the Protein Bars I have looked at have tons of calories and carbs. Sure hoping to find one that's low in carbs and calories!!!! Any suggestions?

Well I had problems trying to find one that I could STOMACH never mind the carbs and calories. If you are only going to eat one a day (I use mine for Breakfast sometimes when I am in a hurry or for Meal Replacement if the cafeteria at work has something that I can't handle - greasy spagetti etc) If you are only going to eat one a day then you don't really have to stress about the carbs.

My favorite one so far is Balance bar Peanut Butter flavor (blue and white and orange box sold at walmart) for about 6.00 you get 6 bars. It has 200 calories, 21 grams carbs and 15 Protein.

I was looking MORE for a bar that had MORE Protein.< /p>

Also...SUGAR ALCOHOLS give me the farts (sorry if that is too much info....but just wanted to warn you because I have seen alot of people post it does it to them too) so I stear clear of those esp on the days I am working..........lolol....

If I eat 1-2 eggs in am.

lunch of chicken breast couple bites of veggies

dinner fish and few bites of whatever I made for family

snack of nuts or string cheese

Protein Bar to make up if i have not met my protein for day

Then I am still WAY under for carb count. I stay away from carbs because I noticed years ago I just don't loose if I eat carbs. After surgery I really only crave Peanut Butter and sugar free popsickles so for now I am staying away from carbs because I don't really miss them yet.

How many carbs do you eat daily?

How many carbs do you eat daily?

For me I have not really sat down to count them daily. I eat mostly Protein with a couple bites of veggies (mostly green ones....got used to not eating corn or carrots when I did Adkins diet) I am staying away from bread, rice, potatoes. Having said that sometimes at night I have a couple of teaspoons of whatever I cooked for family which might have rice or noodles in it. But I try to eat my Protein first and use the side as a treat.

Protein Crunch bars from Vitamin Shoppe are delicious. They are more like a wafer cookie than a granola bar, and only have 10 carbs. I highly suggest trying them!

The best that I have found on a Protein for the calories basis (at least that I have tried and are reasonably palatable to me) are the Pure Protein bars. The 50g bars have 20g of protein for 180-200 calories depending on the variety.

oh Yeah bars are great. They have 8 carbs and 15 grams of Protein.

They are like a Kit Kat bar. The Peanut Butter is so good that I can't live without them.

Try Think Thin bars, 0 sugar.

Can't really do low carb and low cal without it having 0 nutrition. Stick to low carb and you should be good!

I had my surgery about 10 months ago and the only Protein thing I could tolerate for the first 6 months was a drink called Lean Body - 40 grams of Protein. It's delicious.

At 6 months out I found a Protein Bar that I like and its called Pure Protein - 20 grams of protein.
