Does anyone eat protein bars and if so what are your favorites? Does anyone do Luna bars?

does anyone know how many carbs the Quest bar has? (not net carbs--I don't really believe in that, though I know a lot of people use that formula). thanks!

Around

Around 22-24 carbs... but 18 of them are Fiber.. typically only one or two sugar and 0-4 sugar alcohols.

And you really don't believe in net carbs? I'm skeptical of subtracting sugar alcohols, but I definitely subtract fiber. I eat TONS of fiber which put my carbs up over 60 sometimes, but I stay in ketosis because most of the carbs are from fiber.. if I ate 60 carbs in a day from sugar it would definitely kick me out of ketosis so there's definitely a difference at least in my body.

Power crunch ROCK. almost like eating wafers. The chocolate peanut butter taste like a butterfinger bar.

I love power crunch bars as well. I got a bunch of flavors at GNC but my local walmart had a 5 pack of vanilla (which are delicious) for under $6

I went to GNC and got the power crunch today. They are $1.79 and right now they have buy 3 get one free.

Power Crunch can be found at gnc, vitamin shoppe, and many grocery stores. If you go to their website they have a store finder! I just ordered some from vitamin shoppe and try we're on sale on line 2 days ago

Silly pre-op question...I have tried every flavor of the Quest Bars and have only been able to eat one completely, I think they taste awful does anyone think this could change after surgery? Did anyone love them pre sleeve? Not that I plan on using them alot but the option would be nice

It's kinda like gravity....you may not believe in it...but it works just the same.

In all honesty to everyone else, the Quest bars are not the tastiest and not the cheapest....but nutritionally they are about as good as it gets. Most of the rest are basically Protein infused candy bars. Not the way to get in your protein on a regular basis. I try to eat them only when I'm out longer than I thought I would be and need something.

Protein Bars...even the quest bars....have been known to trigger carb cravings in some people. I don't ever recall anyone saying that lean turkey breast triggered their cravings for apple pie.

I don't know about that butter.... I just ate a piece of dried up chicken and I'd kill for a donut right now! Oh or a protein bar!!

I'm not sure I would compare net carbs to gravity. There's a lot of debate about whether the net carbs thing is legit. I think some people can eat more carbs than others and stay in ketosis. With that said, I do think that Fiber is a good thing. I do well with fiber from lower-carb veggies.

BTW for those who subtract fiber from carb counts, do you subtract all of it, or half of it?

Yeah but you were that way before you ate the chicken.

Lol.. you got me on that!

Unfortunately you're right....everything is debatable it seems, especially in regards to health and nutrition. I don't know if I've ever been in ketosis, but I do try to keep my carbs down, and I do subtract the fiber because it does not raise blood sugar levels the way non fibrous high GI carbs do. I'm highly sensitive and insulin resistent so I have to be careful about those starches and sugars.
