Love Power Crunch vanilla and also the chocolate mint (think Thin Mints) they are more "light" than Quest... but a nice change of taste... but the Quest bars are more filling for me for a "grab and go" meal... go someplace where you can buy bars in different flavors before you buy a box full... you have to find what works for you

I have yet to find a Protein Bar that I like....until now. Natures Valley Protein. There are 3 different flavors and easily found at Walgreens, grocery store, etc. It's not so much a super high protein bar as it is an easy snack for on the go that doesn't have tons of carbs....10g protein, 6 g sugar, 5 g Fiber and 190 calories. I travel all day for work, so it's hard to actually have lunch. I have a 1/2 for a mid-day snack almost every day. (Can't eat a whole one...get too full).

I like pure Protein Bars (at CVS/Waldbaums)….most have 20g Protein and about 200 calories….not bad on carbs and pretty low in sugar.

You can purchase the Quest Bars and Power Crunch at Allstar health. com. Very reasonable. Power crunch vanilla is my fav.

340 calories!!! Yikes I only eat about 400 cal a day!!!!!!!!!

You only eat 400 cal per day?? Wow!!!!! How do you have any energy?

[enjoythetime 1,457]

5 net carbs is great, but 340 calories is more than I tend to eat in a meal. Hard to balance.

Really? 340 cal for a meal is about right, for 3 meals a day that's only a little over a 1000 cal per day, any less than that and your body will go into starvation mode

Thanks I will try them

I bought the apple pie and Cookies and cream (oreo like) don't care for them and I bought a box of each and haven't even had the surgery yet...I also bought a box of variety ones and I like the cinnamon bun but BY THE VARIETY if you buy anything learn from my and others mistakes

I am just following my doctors very strict program. I get about 90 gr Protein a day and I also drink at least 100 oz Water. I do not crave or get hungry

Shmily, would you mind sharing your 400 calorie, 90 gr Protein menu. I'm running at 600 calories and can't seem to get more than 70 gr protein. I log every bite on myfitnesspal to be sure. I'm only 3 weeks post op though and actually expected to hit 800-900 calories minimum by week 5 so will probably get easier then.

I would also be interested in learning more about a 400 calorie, 90 gr Protein menu. Thanks!

I'm interested in that 400 cal and 90gr Protein menu as well

I have a Premier Protein shake for Breakfast... 30 gr Protein and 170 cal. At lunch, I make protein ice cream with another shake, I add 1 scoop of a Protein powder which has 23 gr protein. That is 30 x 2 + 23. That is 83 grams. Then for my other meal I have either a small amount of bison which is loaded in protein, you have had a small amount of most any lean meat. The 3rd meal I have Greek Yogurt and cottage cheese, all low fat of course. I drink well over 100 oz of Water. I COULD have some soft veggies but I haven't wanted any and would rather have the yogurt and CC. The Greek yogurt is about 6-8 gr protein, depending on how much I eat, that is about 45 cal. The CC is high in protein and I use about 2 Tb maybe.

PS. My doctor wants me to stay at this calorie level until I see him May 6
