Has anyone tried these? I just discovered them and I purchased one bar....it has 290 cal but 30 g of Protein and has 25 g of carbohydrates....so it is it has more carbs that I want and way more calories than i need, but I'm eating one and it's pretty tasty .....

Anyone else try them?

I buy them too. I get them in a variety pack at Sam's club. I feel uneasy about having 300 calories per bar, so most of the time, I break them in half. I have found another brand that Sam's and Walmart carries that I'm finding myself buying instead of Premier.

Pure Protein bars. 20 grams of protein/180 - 200 calories per bar. But they are a smaller bar. What I've discovered is that almost all the Protein Bar brands I've tried are 4 to 4.25 calories per gram, so of course Premier Protein is higher in calories/protein, since it's a bigger bar.

The Pure Protein Bars I've eaten were - chocolate Peanut Butter/Chocolate Peanut Caramel/Chocolate Deluxe. They all tasted as good as or better than Premier Protein. I tend to favor the chocolate Peanut Butter, but I like all 3 flavors.

Now they are made with sugar alcohols, so if you can't tolerate them, stick with the Premier Protein - I couldn't find an old wrapper, but I think Premier is made with real sugar.

I have to buy the variety pack at Sam's, but Walmart sells the individual flavors in separate 6 pack boxes.

They all run me about .95 cents a bar.

I tried them, like them but unfortunately they trigger sugar/carb cravings for me, they remind me too much of candy. Quest bars don't trigger the sugar cravings for me.

Thank you very much for the information and the photo...... I am just now able to tolerate whey protein again.....for three months I haven't been able to tolerate milk protein....I was looking for something in a bar that might be easier to eat..... unfortunately my tiny tummy still does not like bars so I took about two bites of this bar and that was it .....I give the rest of my kiddos ...lol....

I will try the ones you are using and see if Felipe will tolerate them...

I purchased mine from Sams. Everyday I have a Premier Protein shake for breakfast and a premier Protein bar in the evening when I get the munchies. Combined it equals 58 grams which is close to my minimum goal of 60 grams per day.

I eat one of these Protein bars everyday for my breakfeast. I understand about the calories and the Protein and carbs and stuff. However, they are like eating dense protein and stick with you for a while. So I know for sure that I am getting a minimum of 30 grams of protein to start the day.

I have read that some peeps think this is a exit ramp to sugars, etc. But ok, I get that but you need to give yourself a little something that mimics the real risk and realize that and dont let it lead you down the wrong path. I am too excited with my boost in life years, weight loss and list of other advantages to say "Oh I cant eat that because it may start me eating Cookies again"

I definately have more wisdom and strength than a package of Oreos

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
