I like the Quest chocolate chip cookie dough. I only eat them in an emergency... First of all I think they could be an addiction and I need variety. They are 190 cal 21g Protein 21 carbs.. Yikes... But the best part besides the taste... 17 grams of FIBER!!!!

how many net carbs, you deduct the Fiber and sugar alchohols from the carbs

I don't see any sugar alcohols in them ... There is 1 gram of sugar

Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe bars - 180 calories, 20g of protein, 17g of carbs (2g of fiber, 4g of sugar alcohol). Protein calories to total calories is only 44% so 56% of calories is "other stuff". Not great considering their shakes average 85% of their calories from protein. But the bar is over the top good and when you're on the go, you can't beat the convenience of a bar. They come in a lot of other flavors but this one is just too good and since I probably eat one or two a month I don't need a lot of variety.

I second the Quest bars. Choc chip cookie dough and banana muffin are my faves. Nuke em for 10 seconds and they're warm, soft and delish.

I ordered some online last night Vicki. Anyone have trouble with protein bars stalling them? I know sugar alcohols can be bad news from being a professional Atkins dieter lol.

I see they sell them at GNC, i will get them there....
