Protein bars



Recommended Posts

I am having trouble finding Protein bars that are low carb' date=' high Protein, low fat.....what are you all doing?[/quote']

Just bought some nu go slim bars on the recommendation of another poster. They are really good and have zero sugar, 20 g of protein, 19 g of carbs (fiber and sugar alcohols) and are low fat ( do not recall how many grams). They are also made of organic natural ingredients and each bar is 180 calories (+- 10 calories, do not recall the exact number). I also like the think thin bars, but cannot eat them too often because their calorie count is at 270 a bar. However, they have about the same carbs and Proteins as nu go thin bars. You can order a sample pack of 3 nu go bar flavors for 7 on their site, no shipping costs. I like all the flavors, but think brownie is the best.

I love Quest Protein bars! chocolate brownie is my favorite flavor. It has 20 grams of protein, 5 non-fiber carbs, and 6 grams of fat. I'm not sure how that stacks up against other protein bars, but my NUT recommended this brand.

One more thing about Quest bars...they have no sugar alcohol, which I cannot tolerate for some reason. So that's another plus.

On the down side, they cost $2 each.

I wish promax would come out with a "thin" version of their bars. I used to absolutely love their Cookies and creme bar after working out at the gym (many years ago). It has a ton of sugar in it though. Same is true about cliff bars. These are great to eat before a rigorous hike, but pack too much sugar to be eaten just as a snack. Hope the marketing guys are listening. We want low carb versions of these!

I also eat the pure Protein bars. The mint, and peanutbutter ones are good.

Big huge 2nd! I tried one of these today (bought the sampler box on amazon) for the first time. It was fine plain, but I nuked it for about 20 seconds and OMG. It seriously tasted like a thick, fudgy brownie straight from the oven.

      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.
