What are some good Protein Bars? Thanks

I found Quest bars to be very good. They have a variety of flavors, so try a sampling to pick the one you like the most. After I picked the kind I liked the most, I ordered them by the box on Amazon over the internet to get the best prices.

I also fully endorse the Quest bars. I suggest trying a variety. My personal favorites are strawberry cheesecake, apple pie and white chocolate raspberry. They provide an excellent amount of Protein and are low in net carbs. In addition most contain around 20g of Fiber which will help move things along. You will be hard pressed to find a bar that offers fiber like this one.

I'm anti Protein bar myself. They are too much like candy bars, like a candy bar in disguise. Most of them are high in sugars and even the ones that aren't taste like sugar. It's too much of a trigger food for me.

I feel that they are food that go down to easily, are chewed up and eaten too fast, and don't really fill you up. They are a slider food to me.

I like eating beef Jerky a lot. It's not like a candy bar, takes a long time to eat, fills you up, and is high in Protein.

Just my two cents.

The salt doesn't bother me. I have a hard time with meat too but Jerky seems to go down. I have to chew it really well of course.

I've not found anything that compares to the awesome macros provided by the Quest bars.

They are Protein packed, loaded with Fiber and have very low sugar. I've tried most of the flavors and find them to be outstanding.

It's going to be a while before I'm eating stuff like that again......but when I do, Quest bars will be a staple. I'll keep a couple boxes locked away in my desk at work. Take a bite and chew forever.......repeat a few minutes later. It'll take a while to eat a bar as they are very dense.

Great product.

My sister is a bypass patient (15 years ago) and she is really fond of Cliff bars. I'm not really familiar with them but will give them a try, too.

I eat Quest as well, you can get a variety 12 pack on Amazon for around $25.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
