Protein Bars

[Deana 42]

what is your opinion on Protein Bars? as a Meal Replacement? im 7 weeks out

[BizTraveller 101]

They save me sometimes. As I transitioned back to normal life after surgery, I found out there were lots of days where I couldn't take the time to feed myself properly. I keep a couple of good-quality Protein bars handy. I like the Quest bars. They have really good numbers. Many of the others are pretty bad.

Most days I do fine on real food (no shakes or bars). But, someways you can't build your life around your sleeve and thence bars come in handy.

Protein bars generally have too many carbs as far as I'm concerned. Even shopping around for those with the fewest - I've never found one that worked. I think eating unprocessed food is usually a better option when possible. For those times when you are on the go and have no options, or when you need the extra carbs before an intense workout then I think it is worth it. Then again, I'm a low carb kind of girl because I think it is more effective - other people don't feel the same way. I have found that beef Jerky is a great option for when I am on the go and don't have the option of having my regular meal - I weigh it ahead of time into individual servings. Good luck.

I have a Premier Protein bar most mornings for Breakfast. It's a red letter day for me when I end up with the Yogurt Crunch flavor!

Where do you find the Premier Protein Bars? Are they at Sam's & costco too?

Sams carries the Premier Protein bars. I don't know about costco, but I've heard that they have them.

I just went yesterday to get the shakes. The carbs and sugars aren't too bad in the bars? I get cleared to start lifting this week, and I notice that I usually have to leave the gym after cardio because I get so hungry. I usually drink 1/2 a Protein shake before my workout, which is usually an hour and a half. The bars may keep me fuller. I'm diabetic, so I try to stay on top of the carbs and sugars.

I wondered the same thing, they are at costco They have 25 gms of carbs (if I recall correctly) per bar. What did you do?

I eat one Atkins Protein Bar a day, usually in the afternoon when my blood sugar is low. They are high in Protein and contain no sugar. I usually eat the chocolate oatmeal Fiber bar because in addition to protein, I am on a continual Quest for fiber.

Quest has the best bang for your buck.

Walmart also sells the Premier Protein RTD shakes and bars in smaller quantities than Sam's if you want to sample them first.
