Best Protein Bars?

[rydersmama 804]

Just wondered what kind of Protein Bars you like best. Are there any good ones with low sugar and carbs?

Since Quest has once again altered their recipe back, I vote for them.

I am satisfied with most of their numbers and enjoy most of the flavors

I have them as my lunch after my swimming sessions.

_{I've tried a lot of them and I only like Quest and Herbalife (which I'm a distributor and have loved them for years). The Quest ones are good to heat in the microwave for about 15 seconds and they get soft and chewy. You can also but them up and bake them into Cookies but I wasn't a big fan of them that way.}

Combat bars are worth trying. Quest are great, but they don't agree with everyone's digestive track,

And they can cause gas for many. Pure Protein are decent imho. For cost, I will sometimes get a box of those at target. 20 g of protein and 190 calories

Ok, can I ask you guys a stupid question? I've never understood why these Protein bars have 20g of carbs, but they say they're only 4 net carbs...what exactly does that mean? Is it that you subtract the Fiber? So are you getting 20g or 4g of carbs?? I just don't get it

I don't really understand it either. I was using Quest bar, figuring they were giving me the extra Protein that I thought I was lacking by eating chicken instead (just have a hard time eating 3oz) ... My NUT told me no protein bars, they have too many carbs and I should only be eating 20 carbs a day. My protein bars have 23 carbs, I was averaging 40 carbs plus a day

The best Protein Bar in the world has nothing on a packet of tuna.< /p>

I do Quest when I eat Protein bars. I don't eat them everyday just those hectic ones.

net carbs are total carbs minus the Fiber, I believe (because you don't digest fiber). Some people go by net carbs, others say you should count total carbs. Since I'm on a moderately-low carb diet (as opposed to ultra-low), it's usually not an issue for me - but it would be for those on a super low carb diet. I'm not sure there's a right answer to this (i.e., which one to go by) - there are strong opinions on both sides of the issue.

someone on either this board or another board I'm on recommended Oh Yeah One bars. So I picked up a box. She was right - they're fabulous. They're also dangerous. The chocolate brownie ones (the ones I got) taste just like candy bars. I can see someone devouring a half dozen of them in one sitting. There are different versions of Oh Yeah bars - but Oh Yeah One would be the one you'd want, because the "One" stands for one gram of sugar. Total carbs are pretty high, though - they must have lot of fiber.

I usually go for Quest bars. They're tasty, but they wouldn't be as much of a trigger (for me) as Oh Yeah One.

[lifeofblair 308]

The oh yeah one is really good!

I'm a fan of the Oh Yeah One bars as well. I like lemon cake and chocolate mint. I just ordered white chocolate raspberry so hopefully they will be here soon. I get them on Amazon.

i LOVE Grenade Carb Killa Caramel Chaos but my hubby has to lock them away or I'd have 2 or 3 a day lol. I just have one every now and again when I am on a higher carb day (I usually try to stay below 20 carbs Monday-Friday and 50g at the weekends). They are really nce to eat !!

[rydersmama 804]

Hey Kate, I'm also sticking to a low carb count of 20g or less. Wondering if you would like to share what some typical foods are for you? Different ideas of what to eat are always welcome for me!

I use Pure Protein bars. They have sugar alcohols which can upset your digestive track of you eat too much, but at 4 months post op, I can really only handle half a bar.
