Does anyone have recommendations on a good Protein Bar? I generally have a premier shake for Breakfast but I am traveling and am looking for something I can bring with. I'd love something with similar nutrition (30g Protein, <200 calories, low carb) and of course, tastes good :)

I am obsessed with Built Bats. They are lower in calories than most other Protein Bars (130 to 180 depending on flavor) and DELICIOUS. They have three types: bars (which have a caramel-like texture), puffs (marshmallow filling), and granola (like caramel with granola mixed in; different from traditional granola bars), with several flavors of each, and an ever-changing selection of limited release flavors. It’s a matter or personal preference, but granola bars are my favorites, followed by regular bars, and the puffs taste good but are not as filling.

Others I like include Fit Crunch, Verb, and Fulfil.

I have seen Walmart and Trader Joe’s selling singles of various brands of Protein bars, which is nice if you want to try one before you buy a whole box.

i use either Built Bars or pure protien bars.

i get built bars from sams bc they are expensive, and i get boxes of pure protien at Walmart or singles from gas stations and most regular grocery stores.

I also have gotten Quest from convenience stores in a pinch

Built Bar or Barebells are my favorites. Great macros, good flavors, hold up well in the bottom of my purse when traveling! Dive Bars are popular but I don't like the texture nor the added caffeine. FortiFX are also very good, but higher on the carb count.

I like the Amfit Protein bars from Amazon 20grams of protein and 186 cals. I also like the Clif bars but they are less protein and more cals per bar

Thank you for posting this- I have been thinking about this very topic as planning a month long trip and need some “last resort options”.

Thank you!

Barebell Protein bars taste the absolute Best taste wise but they're a little bit higher in cals (200+)

Quest makes good protein bars too (love the Double chocolate chunk bar)

Built Bars have the BEST macros but they're just ok in terms of taste. I still like them though!

I like the Alani bars and the Robert Irvine FitCrunch bars...but that second one comes with a caveat that the bars are sold in two different sizes ("snack size" which are about 190 calories and the full sized one which are intended to be a true Meal Replacement for people with typical stomachs. The full sized ones are nearly 400 calories and probably too large for anyone in here to finish, so if you order them online make sure they're the snack size!)

If your like me and can’t do Built Bars - I recommend Aloha, NuGo, or fit crunch. They’re yummy and I can digest them more easily. Built bars and Quest bars are not good for my stomach, but everyone is different. Clif builder bars are good but they have more sugar.

Also No Cow bars are good! They taste good and have Fiber.

Quest Bars are my go to... 20 g Protein, loads of fiber, 200 calories, not a lot of garbage ingredients. Look at the nutrition facts for protein bars carefully. A lot of them are just candy bars in disguise... high in calories, saturated fat, and carbs, little protein.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
