Best Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

Ok guys, there are about a gazillion Protein bars on the market, and let's be realistic, the majority are just glorified candy bars.

So this begs the question, has anyone found some exceptional Protein Bars for a Meal Replacement on the go that they would like to share?

What is the best taste/protein content/lowest calorie/and most natural ingredients that you have tried?

Also, has anyone tried to make their own yet? I'm thinking about playing around with some recipes and seeing what I can come up with :-)

Agree with glorified candy bars.... that said I do love a Quest bar. I stick with the "natural" ones just because they have a few less calories than the other flavors. My favs are strawberry Cheesecake, Coconut Cashew and chocolate Peanut Butter.< /p>

For me by far is Quest bar, but I haven't had any sine before surgery.

Quest will send you a free two pack sample if you go to their web page and contact us section. Tell them you are having surgery.

I agree with the other comments. Quest Bars have been the best by far. I recently purchased a sample pack of twelve to see which ones I liked best. So far all of them have been good!

I am also a fan of Quest bars. In the beginning, I just got the standard ones from costco. Over time, I didn't care for the coatings on all of them. Most Protein bars have that chocolate coating that just got too sweet for me. I found quest bars and they are wonderful. I can keep them in my car in the hot sun and not worry about them being a mess when I want to eat one. Cookie dough is my fav!!!

If you're talking about Quest bars.. most of them have 17-20 grams of Fiber. Most of us don't count fiber in our carb counts. Quest bars are one of the least carby bars out there.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
