      I wouldn't do that. Most protein bars are nothing more than jacked up candy bars. They are loaded with carbs. To my knowledge, the one with the fewest net carbs are the Quest bars, but they are not

    My Nut recommended think thin bars. I think they are pretty good. 20 grams protein' date=' 10 grams net carbs, 230 cals. I buy them at Fred Meyers or QFC.

    Agree that think thin bars are yummy, especially Cookies and creme. They are a real filler too. I believe think thin also sells a 100 calorie variety for those not wanting to commit to the larger size. Glad you enjoy them!

    Suggestion for Quest bars: microwave them for 15 seconds. They taste better and are softer and easier to digest. I like the banana nut muffin and cinnamon roll flavors. 170 calories' date=' 20 grams Protein, lots of fiber, very low carb. GMC sells them.[/quote']

    Agreed...definitely better if they are microwaved or you can leave them on the dashboard of your car on a sunny day for a while. If you do microwave them, take them out of the wrapper first. Bad things happen otherwise. Don't ask me how I know.
