Protein Bar Suggestions

Does anyone have suggestions for "safe" protein bars? Any that we should avoid?

I was just looking at my doc's suggestions yesterday: my doc recommends Quest (I love them!), Balance bars, Myoplex Lite, Oh Yeah Natural Bar, Detour or the Simply bar.

My personal favorite is Quest chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It's just like the real thing, and very easy to chew. My suggestion is go to GNC and get some single bars of things you find appealing and start that way.

Thank you! I was just reading " The BIG Book on Bariatric Surgery" and it recommended carrying protein bars to help stay on track. *smacks forehead* Why didn't I think of that?!

I like the Quest Bars (White chocolate Raspberry) and some of the Atkins stuff (The hazelnut snack bar). Atkins usually only come in at about 15 gm of protein while Quest comes in at about 20-22 gm of Protein. I prefer Quest Bars because they have lots of Fiber usually 15-19 grams. You will find on a high protein diet fiber is your friend. Best Wishes!

I have found the Quest bars are the best for me. These are the only ones that haven't made me feel bloated and gave me awful gas. They even have Protein chips but I haven't had those yet. If you go on Quest.com they even give you recipes that you can use. Good luck! :)

LOVE Quest Bars! They taste great and are very filling. Low sugar and high fiber as well.
