I am looking for a low carb protein bar recipe. I may just have to experiment if I can't find one that sounds good. I have found a lot of recipes, but most are super high calorie, or high carb or both. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm hooked on the South Beach Living Crispy Meal Bars. They are all good but I especially like the Chocolate Peanut Butter. They are packed full of nutrients, 12 grams of protein, have 180 calories, 5 grams of sugars and 25 grams carbs. I know the carb count could be better but I have not had a problem losing weight eating this bar everyday for breakfast.

Sorry, I don't have a recipe for you. Just thought I'd give you a suggestion of something to try....

the pre-op diet my doctor gave me said be sure and count only net carbs. I don't really know how to do that but the adkins tells you net carbs. It may show 25 carbs on the back but the front says only 2 net carbs. so you may want to google net carbs and find out how to figure that. Hope that helps.

I really like Pure Protein Bars. They have 20g of protein.... 180 calories.... 4.5g fat.....2g sugar.... 17g carbs

They are very filling and make a good snack.

Also... you can buy them at costco and Sam's Club.

Goodluck!

I make my own Protein bars/smacks.

I keep these in the fridge because of the Peanut Butter.

These might be high in fat but here's another one I make with

Cream cheese .

exchange the Peanut butter with 2- 8 oz packages of cream cheese

everything eles is the same.

I use a 5x7 baking pan, cut into 24 squares

Im pretty sure the net carbs are after you subtract the Fiber and any sugar alcohol carbs.
