What are your favorite protein bars?



Recommended Posts

Just had my 6 week check and was graduated to all food. My doctor said to get Protein Bars. Ultimately high Protein, low carb, low fat and low sugar would be great. I find they either have too much fat or too much sugar. Which do you use?

Thank you all! I'll have to try some of them. I bought a few random bars the other day. I had 1/2 of a Think Thin and it was pretty good. Not too dry at all.

Every time I walk by these somewhere like GNC or smoothie King or the grocery, I feel so tempted. Then I stand there and look at every single nutritional label and put them back one at a time. They all seem to have so many calories or so many carbs in them it is as bad or even worse than the number of calories in a candy bar. Yeah, I know that they are more nutritionally sound and are a good Protein source, but still....

One of the last big diets I was on was TOPS, which really isn't a specific diet. I remember eating Luna bars for lunch very often at that time. 9g of Protein 180 calories, 5g fat, 11g carbs.

Then I think that I could just make an Isopure shake for 100 calories and get 20+g of protein and 0 carbs.

It would be neat if they could do the same with the bars as they do with the shake powder.

Low cal, low carb, high protein and decently tasty.

I like the Quest bar because it has some of the lowest net carbs of any bar I've found. Less than 5 if I remember right. But they are very hard to chew straight out of the wrapper. I give them a couple of hours sitting on the dashboard of my truck, or 10 seconds in the microwave and they are much better.

Atkins bars..... Be careful of bars being too high in sugar and carbs. Atkins had the least of these from what I have found.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
