Best Protein Bar?

[ForMyfamily 84]

Plenty of sugar in them. It is in sugar alcohol which is half of the carbs. Your majority of carbs when eating should be Fiber not sugar alcohols. This is how they make them taste better and a way for them to list them as 0 sugars in big and bold on the front label. Just saying a marketing gimmick.

I like the Think Thin bars with the nuts so that's where the carbs come from. Can't speak for the other flavors as these are the only ones I buy of that brand. I also like the Quest and Atkins bars. I think the important thing here is moderation just as it is with everything.

Where do all the carbs come from? And if they are sugar alcohols' date=' why are these bad for sleevers, but not bad for people on, say, the akins diet? I am just curious about it.[/quote']

Ingredients: Protein Blend (whey Protein Isolate, Calcium Caseinate, Soy Protein Isolate), Glycerin, Maltitol, Coating (Maltitol, Cocoa Butter, chocolate Liquor, Sodium Caseinate, Milk Fat, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors, Salt), Almonds, Water, Canola Oil, chocolate Liquor, Cocoa powder, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt.

I am betting from the cocoa butter, almonds, & soy lecithin.

I have to say these are all complex carbs. If I were going to have a carb rich diet these would be the type I'd want.

When I use Protein bars I use Premier Nutrition Protein®. 30g Protein and 270cal.

Protein Bars shouldn't become a daily habit unless you are very active. But I do keep a few handy to keep from missing meals.

I agree!! So good!! costco has a variety pack, which is especially great if you like peanutbutter.
