I need advice--I hate the Protein shakes! Can I eat the Protein Bars instead?

:hungry:

i have been doing that pre-op...although i like the slimfast optima shakes..the bars seem to have the same calories and even more protein..so I have been eating them sometimes...I am assuming that it is ok.

That is what I noticed too! The shakes don't have as much Protein and they don't have any fiber--well at least not as much as the bars.

What is your pre-op diet?

I find the Atkins protein bars to be the best all-around: they have the least sugar, a lot of protein, and a bunch of fiber in each one. They're getting harder and harder to find, though.

i haven't tried a lot of protein bars but i did buy a 4 pack of the protein cookie.

YUCK

I get this pure Protein bar - with 20 grams of protein and only 2 net carbs.

I like the slim fast low carb shake with 20 grams of protein and 6 carbs. I've used 'ultra met' with about the same amount of protein/carbs in powdered form when I'm at home.

I have tried the South Beach diet protein bars. They aren't too bad but I prefer my protein shake.

They're like $5 each here, I couldnt AFFORD to eat them, lol!

But I'd prefer to eat them anyday over drinking shakes.

Yes, I use GNCs protein bars. They have 30 grams of protein.

The Slim Fast high protein bar is good. It has 15 g of protein per bar. I like the chocolate chip granola.

All the bars i've tried taste like cardboard. I perfer Slim Fast Low Carb drinks with 20 grams of protein.
