Are there any good protien bars out there? Ones that taste good, that are lower in calories and high in protien? I currently use Unjury protien shakes, which I really like, but would like to replace the liquid protien for something more filling. My Unjury protien shake has 29 grams of protien and 190 calories when prepared with milk.

Funny you should ask. I just had one for dinner this evening. :)

Premier Protein Bars, made by Premier Nutrition, are excellent. Great taste, not "cardboard-like" or dry. Fresh, chewy and very satisfying. I highly recommend them. You can buy them at a number of places, like costco, Amazon, or from the Premier website: http://www.premiernutrition.com/products/protein.html

If you follow the link and read the text, you'll see they average about 270 calories per bar, (depending on flavor), but contain 30 grams of Protein. The three flavors are all very good, and each is different. I bought mine at costco, where they sell two 12-pack boxes as a bundle. Provides a lot of choice. I keep one in the car, one in my desk at work, and if I'm going out for the day running errands or whatever, one in my jacket pocket. Very convenient.

I found that I like the Pure Protein Bars, the chocolate Deluxe and chocolate Peanut Butter each have 20 grams of Protein and 180 and 200 calories respectively. You can pick them up at Walgreens, Walmart, Target and other places as individual bars to try first without investing in a whole box.

You will probably have to try several to find one you like. Watch your protein to calories ratio.

Happy Testing.

I like balance bars, they are at Krogers, Walmart, walgreens, cvs, etc they are about $1 a bar and taste great!! They are cheaper if you buy in the case. I think they have 6 or 7 flavors.

Girl before you buy any read the label. We aren't supposed to be loading up on sugar and some of these have quite a bit of sugar. I would go talk to the one of the people at GNC for a recommendation.

There are several Protein Bars I like, Pure Protein is good, Atkins Advantage have some some good ones and also I have found one called supreme protein with 15 grams of protein and not alot of sugar and they taste like candy bars to me. I eat 1 a day at least to help boost my protein. They are all available at Walmart, Walgreens and GNC.< /p>

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
