Best Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

My favorites seem to be Atkins .. they are the tastiest so far for me ... and the balance Peanut Butter bar is good too ... I didn't like the pure Protein Bars -- they had a funny taste to me? Atkins came out with a Protein Bar that my husband and I both say reminds us of a baby ruth type of candy bar .. granted, it's only 9 or 10 gr. of Protein, but it's a real treat at night when i feel like having a "treat" .... and I don't feel guilty since it's a protein bar .. :-)

I was looking at Protein Bars yesterday, and couldn't decide since all of them I saw had SOOO many carbs in them? What about the ones you all have mentioned?

Quest bars have about 17-20 g of carbs I think? But only 3-4 net carbs -- meaning, all the carbs are from fibre not sugars or anything. They have 20 g of Protein. They are tasty and nutritionally awesome. I'm so hooked...

Yep Pure Balance - Peanut Butter is my fav but the chocolate brownie is good too.

Quest bars taste good but are super dense ....I find them better if I nuke them a couple seconds

I used to use Pure Protein, but figured out they are not vegetarian...switched to Balance and Targets knock off brand.

I had settled on the Pure Protein bars as the best compromise that I had found at 20g protein for 200ish calories, and then I tried the Quest bars. I am now struggling to use up the Pure Protein bars that I still have around. The Fiber in the Quest bars is sure a help for many of us who have had problems getting enough in, and most of them have no or minimal sugar alcohols which don't sit well with many people. My wife had settled on the Atkins bars as her favorite Meal Replacement and has been converted to Quest as well. They are certainly worth getting their sample box and explore their flavors. Even their unusual flavors like lemon cream pie and cinnimon roll have a quite plausible resemblence to their stated target without any of the odd flavors that are common to protein bars.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
