Best Protein bars with Low sugar low calories...

Hi all. I'm looking for some suggestions on some good protein bars (higher protein) with little to no sugar (under 5g) under 200 calories, and low carbs. Any suggestions?

South Beach Living High Protein Cereal Bars-Peanut Butter flavored. 140 calories. 5g fat. 15g carbohydrate. 6g sugar. 10g protein. Yummy! ;)

Here are 2 of my favorites, the first is a little over your calories, but it does have 18g Protein.

ATKINS ADVANTAGE chocolate Peanut Butter BAR:

  • 18g Protein
  • 1g Sugar
  • 240 Calories
  • Only 2g Net Carbs

ATKINS ADVANTAGE PEANUT FUDGE GRANOLA BAR:

  • 16g Protein
  • 1g Sugar

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will try them.

I spent a lot of time looking for something I could carry around in case I got hungry and couldn't eat soon. So many protein bars are loaded with sugar. It is a trade off. I tried to strike a balance with fat, salt, sugar, protein and carbs. Kashi TLC bars are like granola so they are highest in carbs (19g), not as high protein as some (7g) but only 5g fat (0.5 sat), 115mg sodium, 5g sugar, and 4g fiber (1 soluble, 3 insoluble). I carry them with me all the time. I find a lot of the protein bars lean toward chocolate flavors and tend to be high in sugar. I buy the TLC bars in a bulk box at Costco (has 3 flavors--Honey Almond Flax, Peanut Peanut Butter, and Trail Mix).

My favorites are "Pure Protein" High Protein bars.

I get them at my local Walmart or Target. There are 4 different flavors and all but one is under 5g of fat. They have either 19 or 20g of protein per bar depending on the flavor and most are 180 calories. They taste good too. I took the box in for my doc to look at and he said they seemed like a good choice, but stay away from the one that is 6g of fat.

They run around $6.00 for a box of 6. Target sells them individually so you can give the different flavors a try to see what you like.
