What are your favorite protein bars?



Recommended Posts

Just had my 6 week check and was graduated to all food. My doctor said to get Protein Bars. Ultimately high Protein, low carb, low fat and low sugar would be great. I find they either have too much fat or too much sugar. Which do you use?

Thank you all! I'll have to try some of them. I bought a few random bars the other day. I had 1/2 of a Think Thin and it was pretty good. Not too dry at all.

Every time I walk by these somewhere like GNC or smoothie King or the grocery, I feel so tempted. Then I stand there and look at every single nutritional label and put them back one at a time. They all seem to have so many calories or so many carbs in them it is as bad or even worse than the number of calories in a candy bar. Yeah, I know that they are more nutritionally sound and are a good Protein source, but still....

One of the last big diets I was on was TOPS, which really isn't a specific diet. I remember eating Luna bars for lunch very often at that time. 9g of Protein 180 calories, 5g fat, 11g carbs.

Then I think that I could just make an Isopure shake for 100 calories and get 20+g of protein and 0 carbs.

It would be neat if they could do the same with the bars as they do with the shake powder.

Low cal, low carb, high protein and decently tasty.

I like the Quest bar because it has some of the lowest net carbs of any bar I've found. Less than 5 if I remember right. But they are very hard to chew straight out of the wrapper. I give them a couple of hours sitting on the dashboard of my truck, or 10 seconds in the microwave and they are much better.

Atkins bars..... Be careful of bars being too high in sugar and carbs. Atkins had the least of these from what I have found.

      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.
