Recommend A Great Protein Bar



Recommended Posts

I am finding that I need to get in more Protein and I find that I do too much running and I'm out in public and suddenly hunger hits and I panic because I look around and all I see is fast food places as far as the eye can see. I am so over fast food. I now prefer lighter, healthier meals and Snacks. Can someone recommend an awesome Protein Bar?

Many Thanks!

You can bring a little baggie of Protein with you and a bottle of Water then whenever you need a boost just mix it together for a quick shake. I bring this with me to school and usually just get water from the water fountain and drink it while i walk to my next class

ISS wafers are the BEST!! They taste good, relatively low carbs and sugar. vitacost has the best price I have been able to find. I teach and keep a box of them in my desk drawer at all times.

Leederz ... Omg I do NOT want to drink another Protein shake. I used to love, love sugary sweet things and no matter how little grams of sugar, I cannot find a Protein Shake that doesn't make my stomach turn or make me gag. I am trying to get my Protein in with food these days. I'm so over those d*&@! shakes! Lol

Thank you guys for all your suggestions. Quest & ISS wafers are on my list to look into!

My favorite is Power Crunch in Peanut Butter Creme and Peanut Butter Fudge. They are a wafer which I like because so many of the bars are too chewy and sweet for me. I also like these b/c the Protein is hydrolyzed which means almost all 14 grams are absorbed.

for side Protein I use Greek Vanilla yogurt (15 grams of protein tastes great goes down smooth) and for others I use the Atkins bars. I try to find the ones with lower calories but with higher protein. I just had a Peanut Butter bar one that had 19 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar...but has 220 cals...based on what I've ate for the day I was able to fit it in.

I like the Power Crunch wafer/bars, and I just ordered Quest bars and Oh Yeah Nutrition bars -- they both look like they have great potential to both taste good and deliver good Protein with relatively decent carbs.

I also have premier Protein Bars too, they are ok too, but pretty dense.

I did try several of the Quest bars and although they tasted "okay"...they are SUPER dense and chewy. I really wanted to love them....

I'm so sick of regular Protein Bars. And i still can't stomach the shakes.... But i discovered luna bars and i've fallen in love with them. But it does contain some sugar (brown rice syrup). They're organic, and have around 12 grams of Protein. They do make protein luna bars, but i haven't seen them up in these parts yet...

I received the Quest bars today that I just ordered Sunday night! I guess they come from a city not far from me. I got two different sample packs and have tried the Lemon Pie one. It was so good! So good bye to Protein Drinks and hello to these Quest bars!

I have some Oh Yeah bars that I could send you. I ordered two boxes. And while they are good I just don't like the texture. They get great reviews though. If you're interested message me:)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
