Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good Protein Bar that is high in Protein and low in sugar and calories?

Quest bars are high in Protein, low in sugars and carbs. But they are also pretty high in Fiber. I didn't have the wrapper with me to ask my NUT about this. I'm not sure how much fiber you can eat after you have the sleeve. Here's the nutrition label from a chocolate brownie quest bar. (you can also top it with Peanut Butter for extra protein)

1 Bar

Calories 170

Calories from fat 50

Total fat 6 gm

Total Carbohydrates 24 gm

Dietary fiber 19 gm

Sugars 1 gm

Protein 20 gm

Other Ingredients:

Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Isomalto-Oligosaccharides (100% Natural Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Cocoa, Water, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Lo Han Guo, Sucralose.

Hope this helps. It's not been easy for me to find a Protein Bar that is low in sugars and carbs.

Sounds great! Do you know where you can buy them individually?

You have to buy them online.

Oh Yeah bars are really good. They are 7 grams of carbs You can get them online at vitacost.com, which has all sorts of Protein powders, Vitamins, supplements, and everything else imaginable. You can also get them in health food stores like GNC but it's cheaper to get them online.

Power Crunch bars are really good and have 10 grams of carbs.

Just watch the carbs. It's better to have more protein than carbs. Most Protein Bars are around 200 calories.

Actually, Quest Bars are now beginning to show up in GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores - not always the best flavors (apple pie is my favorite!), but hopefully that will change.

      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!!
