You name a Protein bar, I have tried it. I've ordered them on line, gone into GNC, gone to every "protein bar" section of all local grocery stores and have yet to find a Protein Bar I really enjoy. Yes, I acknowledge every one's taste are different but I hate wasting money and calories on something I don't enjoy.

Alas, I finally found two kinds of bars I truly enjoy and look forward to eating! NuGo slim--bars that have 15-17 grams of protein and are covered in REAL dark chocolate. (not the fake stuff). 2 grams of sugar, 9 grams of Fiber and gluten free. 190 calories and 6-7 grams of fat. (depends on what flavor) I get them at Whole Foods but NuGo has a web site too.

The other one that I find truly yummy is Vega Sport. I'm eating the Chocolate Coconut right now and it is delicious! 240 calories, 8 grams of fat, 15 grams of protein.

Just passing this along. If you ever need a protein bar reviewer, I'm your go to girl. As I've said, I've had them all.

Wow. You are the first person I have seen that's actually recommending something they've tried and not trying to sell crap to us. THANK YOU.

Ooh, I wonder if they ship to Canada? I got a bunch of Luna bars when I was stateside, but they don't have that much protein in them.

_{I really love the Cliff Builder Bars in the Mint flavor. I'm not a huge mint fan, but somehow the combination of mint in these bars is really tasty.}

_{The Peanut Butter and chocolate ones are good too, but mint is mmmmm tasty.}

how are the carbs in these bars?

In the NuGo Carbs are 21 g.

In Vega Carbs are 30g

I know some folks do watch carbs, I don't. I tried watching carbs early in my lap band process (it's been almost 3 years for me) and I found I don't want to be on a low carb diet. I stick with my high Protein diet and keep my fats low (I try for 32 grams of fat a day) and that's it.

BUT I have a bar almost every day, so I am delighted I found some good ones!

Wow. You are the first person I have seen that's actually recommending something they've tried and not trying to sell crap to us. THANK YOU.

I know! Isn't it awful that people come on these listservs to troll and try to sell crap? Crazy

There is not a huge difference between protein bars and candy bars. I would also look forward to something if it tasted good and was covered in chocolate. I think that protein bars should only be used on the rare occasions that you are out, hungry and there is nothing else suitable that you can eat, other than that you should stick to real food.

My favorite are Quest protein bars. High fiber, 20g protein. I don't eat them often. I carry one in my purse "just in case". I don't even have one a month. But they are delicious

I love Quest too. Especially if you have problems getting in the right amount of fiber each day.
