Protein Bars and protein



Recommended Posts

As some of you know I am having some problems with snacking and chocolate. I have heard alot of you mention yummy health bars that take your chocolate cravings away. Well, with me being in Australia I havent seen alot of stuff around like that here, is there anywhere I can buy them online?

Also what do you put in your Protein Shakes for brekky? When you say you actually put chocolate Protein in it...what do you mean by that, can you actually buy protein?

Sorry to be kinda slow, I just havent heard of it.

Thanks

I personally like the Balance Gold Bars for my chocolate cravings, they have 14 grams of Protein and satisfy my chocolate craving

Here is a link for them

I do not drink Protein drinks in the morning, no liquid calories for me, the only time I have a Protein Drink is when Iam on liquids after a fill

Hi Kel- Try drugstore.com and do a search for Protein powders and drinks. They usually are soy or whey protein and they come in lots of flavors including chocolate. Also a great, yummy ready to drink shake is made by EAS. I buy them because they are so easy and good! The low carb ones only have 1 carb and 19 grams of protein and lots of other Vitamins and minerals. The chocolate fudge is really good... and the rich dark chocolate. And they only have 110 calories! I drink them for Breakfast all the time. Good luck!:)

Hi Kel, I'm in WA and my DH takes Protein powders (for his muscles :) ) and he orders online. The powders are usally some sort of whey Protein, which is then flavoured with choc or strawb or caramel mint toffee latte :) The powders can have added carbs, high carbs, low carbs, no carbs and everything in between, so I would suggest thinking about exactly what you want before you start looking or you may end up more confused than ever - like me :cheeky Most of the Docs here dont seem as worried about the protein stuff as they do in the states - not sure why... Anyway the sites DH uses are:

and

Hope that helps :P

Zone bars are awesome, but require a lot of chewing and very small bites. 16grms of Protein and they have lots of great flavors, specially the choc-peanut-graham.

I love the Unjury products, especially the unflavored, and someone has already sent you the link. I like the Zone Perfect bars, the EAS bars, Atkins CarbAdvantage shakes, Body for Life shakes (EAS also). Some of them are very dense and require lots of chewing, but that can be a good thing! I feel sure you can find whatever you need online, somewhere! Cindy

Right now I am just trying to loose some weight preban. I have a Protein Shake for breakfast and then another for dinner and a good lunch. My favorite is 100% Whey chocolate Carmel from GNC and then 8 ounces of low carb milk, a banana and 1 tablespoon of sugarfree fat free pudding. Yummmmy! Sometimes I add Peanut Butter to bring the Protein up, if I didn't do well at lunch. Keri

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
