Protein Bars?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good Protein Bar that is high in Protein and low in sugar and calories?

Quest bars are high in Protein, low in sugars and carbs. But they are also pretty high in Fiber. I didn't have the wrapper with me to ask my NUT about this. I'm not sure how much fiber you can eat after you have the sleeve. Here's the nutrition label from a chocolate brownie quest bar. (you can also top it with Peanut Butter for extra protein)

1 Bar

Calories 170

Calories from fat 50

Total fat 6 gm

Total Carbohydrates 24 gm

Dietary fiber 19 gm

Sugars 1 gm

Protein 20 gm

Other Ingredients:

Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Isomalto-Oligosaccharides (100% Natural Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Cocoa, Water, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Lo Han Guo, Sucralose.

Hope this helps. It's not been easy for me to find a Protein Bar that is low in sugars and carbs.

Sounds great! Do you know where you can buy them individually?

You have to buy them online.

Oh Yeah bars are really good. They are 7 grams of carbs You can get them online at vitacost.com, which has all sorts of Protein powders, Vitamins, supplements, and everything else imaginable. You can also get them in health food stores like GNC but it's cheaper to get them online.

Power Crunch bars are really good and have 10 grams of carbs.

Just watch the carbs. It's better to have more protein than carbs. Most Protein Bars are around 200 calories.

Actually, Quest Bars are now beginning to show up in GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores - not always the best flavors (apple pie is my favorite!), but hopefully that will change.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
