Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

Hey Gang

Lately I have been HUGE into Protein Bars. They are dense and filling and I can eat them on the go, I also love the high Protein. I was recently told about Quest bars, apperently they are the only low carb Protein Bar availible and their flavors sound delicious. You can only buy them on line so I ordered a case from Amazon and they should arrive today. They say they have 4-5 non Fiber carbs, not sure what that means. Anyway has anyone tried these?

Quest bars are my favorite, I have one every day! Total carbs minus grams of fiber will give you the net carbs. Quest bars have the most fiber of any Protein bar, hence the lower net carbs. They are delicious and so filling. My favorite flavor by far is vanilla Almond Crunch. I usually order mine from Amazon, but Vitamin Shoppe is starting to carry them so you may want to check there. Hope you love them!

Did you get these, CT? How were they?? What did you think?

I think by 'non-fiber carbs' they mean that those are the 'net carbs' left after you subtract the fiber content from the total carbs. There are some high fiber diets that use the term 'net carbs' when trying to figure out how many carbs you are eating and those diets say that you can subtract the total fiber from the total carbs. Just a guess?

      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.
