Protein Bar Question



Recommended Posts

I would like to put some Protein Bars into my Daily food intake, but I'm not sure which is best for me nutritionally. There seems to be a wide variety in regards to calories and Protein, does anybody have any suggestions for lower calories and higher protein and especially protein bars with not so much sugar in them. Any advise would be greatly appreciated look forward to hearing from you all.

I like Pure Protein bars, chewy and tasty, like a dessert. High in Protein and very low sugar.

Although the Bariatric Advantage bars - KetoGenX bars dont taste so good, they are high in Fiber and protein so they keep me full longer.

A rule of thumb they use at my clinic is that if it doesn't have at least 20g or more of Protein then it's not worth it. I used to love the Titan bars and I think they have 26g of protein. You just have to be careful because some bars are all sugar and no protein.

I am on 800 calorie a day diet and looked at Protein bars the last time I was in the grocery store. The lowest calorie content I found was 180, so only being able to take in 800 calories a day I just don't see how Protein bars are anywhere in my future.

Plus I have noticed that if I consume many carbs my weight plateaus so just another reason i have to pass on protein bars.

--very interested if anyone know of

(low cal / low carb / high protein) options--

Almost all the ones I looked at were over 200 calories a bar. Not sure if I would want to expend a sixth of my daily allotment for that.

I have not been able to find any decent Protein bars either:( They are all either high calorie, high carb, taste nasty, or all of the above But can anyone recommend a good Protein Powder? Something low calorie and high protein, possibly flavorless that I can just add to Soup, oatmeal, yogurt, or a smoothie? Thank you!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
