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.< /p>

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.< /p>

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

Goodluck!

I make my own Protein bars/smacks.

chocolate Peanut Butter

4 Squares unsweetened bakers chocolate

2 cups Adam's natural Peanut Butter

8 scoops Body Fortress choc/ peanutbutter Protein powder

splenda to taste I use less than 1/3 c.

melt chocolate in micro add peanut butter to soften 1 more min.

mix with Protein Powder.

I use mini muffin tins and fill to top.

refrigrateto set

Serving size 1

165 calories

2.75 net carbs

10gr Protein

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

Calories 157

Protein 10gr

Carbs 2gr

these are chewy.

Thanks a bunch for the ideas!

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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
