Best Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

My favorites seem to be Atkins .. they are the tastiest so far for me ... and the balance Peanut Butter bar is good too ... I didn't like the pure Protein Bars -- they had a funny taste to me? Atkins came out with a Protein Bar that my husband and I both say reminds us of a baby ruth type of candy bar .. granted, it's only 9 or 10 gr. of Protein, but it's a real treat at night when i feel like having a "treat" .... and I don't feel guilty since it's a protein bar .. :-)

I was looking at Protein bars yesterday, and couldn't decide since all of them I saw had SOOO many carbs in them? What about the ones you all have mentioned?

Quest bars have about 17-20 g of carbs I think? But only 3-4 net carbs -- meaning, all the carbs are from fibre not sugars or anything. They have 20 g of Protein. They are tasty and nutritionally awesome. I'm so hooked...

Big fan of the Premier Protein bars from costco. (and other places, I'm sure) I also love their Protein Shakes (30g of Protein, each)

just beware of the ones with "sugar alcohols"......gives me rumbly bumbly stomach.........BAD GAS........don't do them at work............lolol

Yep Pure Balance - Peanut Butter is my fav but the chocolate brownie is good too.

Quest bars taste good but are super dense ....I find them better if I nuke them a couple seconds

I used to use Pure Protein, but figured out they are not vegetarian...switched to Balance and Targets knock off brand.

I had settled on the Pure Protein bars as the best compromise that I had found at 20g protein for 200ish calories, and then I tried the Quest bars. I am now struggling to use up the Pure Protein bars that I still have around. The Fiber in the Quest bars is sure a help for many of us who have had problems getting enough in, and most of them have no or minimal sugar alcohols which don't sit well with many people. My wife had settled on the Atkins bars as her favorite Meal Replacement and has been converted to Quest as well. They are certainly worth getting their sample box and explore their flavors. Even their unusual flavors like lemon cream pie and cinnimon roll have a quite plausible resemblence to their stated target without any of the odd flavors that are common to protein bars.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
