jatherley 126 Posted November 9, 2013 So does anyone have a Protein Bar (or in my case part of one) for Breakfast instead of Protein shakes? I'm finding I like them better and can eat it better than drinking a shake. Thank you for your input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanyaB 25 Posted November 10, 2013 I am 5 weeks out and have a Protein bar a couple times a week with no problems. It's a nice change. Just watch out for the carbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jatherley 126 Posted November 11, 2013 I'm considering having one every morning instead of a shake. I haven't been able to eat an egg or anything else breakfasty since surgery. And I usually eat breakfast on the run so my options are limited. The bars I found that I like are the Quest bars. The carb counts a bit high but I try not to consume to many any other place right now. I'm still focusing on getting enough Protein in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted November 12, 2013 I've been eating half one every morning. Yes the have carbs but I don't really watch carbs I just try to get enough Water, Protein and calories in a day. I'm a fan of the vanilla crunch and coconut cashew. They have 22 carbs but the VAST majority of that is Fiber. 18 grams!!!) so really the net carbs are 4...not too bad for a protein bar. They don't have the texture I want in a bar but they're pretty good overall! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBD 121 Posted November 13, 2013 I just started stage 5 today- so happy! At what point did you all start eating Protein Bars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ekmw 56 Posted November 18, 2013 Pure Protein bars are pretty good from what I've heard. I eat the chocolate deluxe and its wonderful. Try that one. It's found at Walmart.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jatherley 126 Posted November 21, 2013 I like the consistency of the Quest bars. Feels like I'm eating a meal. Some of the others remind me too much of a candy bar. I'm trying to steer clear of all candy type things. I started eating Protein bars at about 8 weeks out. Mainly because I needed the extra calories and Protein. Was still having a hard time getting them in. Now I just use as a Meal Replacement or if I'm feeling like additional calories are in order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
