Favorite protein bars

What is everyone's favorite protein bar/food brand and what are your favorite flavors? My weight loss has been very slow to date, so I'm going back to shakes and supplements for 2 meals a day to see if that gets things going better. I've only lost 36 pounds in going on 5 months. Thanks for your help.

Zone bars are my favorite kind. I like the dark chocolate flavors. These bars are not low-carb, though. Myoplex Lite are not bad, either, my favorite flavor is peanut butter. You have to read the labels on these things, a lot of them don't actually have that much protein for the amount of calories you are getting - you'd be better off with beef or turkey jerky in some cases. And a lot of the low carb ones have a ton of fat. I've seen some bars with 35 g of fat!

I eat the Premier Nutrition Protein bars that are sold at Costco and Sam's Club. There are 3 flavors in each box of 12. They have 30g of protein, 7g of fat and 280 calories. These are the only ones I can stand the taste of, and I've tried many many kinds. If you go to a store like the Vitamine Shoppe, they'll let you return them if you don't like the flavor and they have tons to choose from.

I like the Atkin's bars and Pure Protein. Mostly because they have lower net carbs, and they still taste decent. The Pure Protein ones come in two different sizes, and the small ones are perfect sized, but I can't eat a whole large one in one sitting.

I eat the Premeire from Costco too and the Oh yeah bars. I love the peanut butter chocolate. I'll have to get one and post what it says for fat grams. I know they are 200 calories and 15 grams of protein.

I love the bars and hot chocolate from Slim4Life. They are a bit pricey, but sooooo good. Really all of the bars I have tried are very good. They have about 15 grams of Protein in each bar and also the hot chocolate. The hot chocolate warms you up on these cold and snowy days and nights.

Those are my fave too! Actually I think the premier protein have 30g protein, 280 calories. Very filling and tasty. Honestly I keep thinking I must be cheating when I eat them because they are so good. Double chocolate are yummy too!

I was talking about the Oh Yeah bars. 15 grams of protein, 7 grams of carbs. they taste like a candy bars. I have to be careful with them

Sorry about that! Actually I like protein bars WAY better than protein drinks. I am dreading my first few weeks post vsg because I am an eater, not a drinker! I know it is a short phase though and will pass quickly. I Hope my results are comparable to yours!
