Tate777 84 Posted November 2, 2014 I like them,but only use them in emergency type situations where Ijust don't have anything else. Protein bars and other "protein" foods that are manufactured (cookies, cereals, bread, chips, etc.) are what I call "frankenfood"--- just because they are low carb does not mean they are good for you. Whenever I can I eat REAL food-- but if I need to grab something and don't want to eat crap, they are good in a pinch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mi75 1,235 Posted November 2, 2014 I have a whole Cookies and Cream every afternoon, it is my second snack of the day. it would be hard to make my Protein goal without them since i no longer have shakes. LOVE them. i am partial to Cookies and cream, and the cookie dough ones are pretty good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted November 4, 2014 I was told by my nutritionist never to eat a Protein bar that has more carbs than Protein.< /p> I've experimented in the past just for fun because I doubted the Fiber content. I ate one for Breakfast , one for lunch and one for dinner and drank my usual 64 oz of Water. I weigh every day. I had a gain of 2 lbs that time. I know everyone says our weight fluctuates from day to day, but mine doesn't move more than .5 usually from one day to the next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2B 263 Posted November 4, 2014 Glad to hear someone else say they didn't like the Peanut Butter cups but loved the bars. I bought a bunch of different bars and some Peanut Butter cups at GNC a few weeks ago and thought I'd give them a try. I tried the pnut butter cups first and OMG, I thought they tasted like bug spray!! Bleh, bleh, bleh!!! Couldn't spit it out fast enough and couldn't get rid of that horrid taste for hours. So, maybe it is just those and I might like the bars if I give them a try. I'd been scare to taste them actually. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roo101769 742 Posted November 4, 2014 I HATED the Peanut Butter cups. Once you have been to Reece's there is no compare..LOL But I love Quest bars. There are a couple flavors I don't like, but overall they are a win for me. Glad to hear someone else say they didn't like the Peanut Butter cups but loved the bars.
