Somebody Suggestion A Good Protein Bar?!



Recommended Posts

Special K makes some great Protein bars. They have chocolate, chocolate caramel (my fav) and Peanut Butter chocolate. They have 10 grams of Protein and are at a nice price point. I can buy them at BJ's 24 bars for $17.99!

My nut had warned that Protein Bars with a lot protein grams usually don't taste good.

But most stores sell Protein Bars in singles, so try all different kinds. Speaking from experience though keep a list of how good they are. I bought a bunch of bars, liked some hated others and thought some were ok. Unfortunately, I didn't write down what I thought, I figured surely I would remember,... yeah, I promptly forgot when I went to buy more!

I have a problem getting Protein bars that aren't also loaded with sugar. I can handle sugar better than my Roux N Y wife, she gets heart palpitations, claminess, headaches, and light-headedness.

I like Jay Rob, order samples of different brands.

Careful of the ones with sugar alcohols. For some people they create excess gas or stomach cramps. I ended up with two days of gas. Learned the hard way.

I love the Nature Valley Protein Bars!

Surprisingly- the Nature Valley ones aren't "that" bad* for you and are available at most supermarkets.

In the grand scheme of things- having 1/2 of the NV Protein bars and a Muscle Milk Lite makes a pretty good snack or meal. I have a super busy job and they are my go-to meals a few times a week.

*Providing you just eat one and don't rely on them for all your meals. :)

My favorite are the OH Yeah bars. Have them at Vitamin shop and vitacost. They are really good. Peanut Butter and caramel are the best.

      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!!
