Recommendations on good protein bars



Recommended Posts

Anyone have recommendations for good Protein bars that are low in carbs? I've been using Quest because it has low "net" carbs. Now I read that carbs are carbs and net carbs have actually not been proven. Any thoughts and suggestions.

You're going to have a hard time finding any sort of bar with low total carbs. There are many low net carb options, but I haven't seen any with low carbs overall. It's the nature of the beast. In order for it to have a bar shape, size, and consistency, it needs to be filled with SOMETHING, and that something is always carbs of some sort.

These are the bars I eat. If you click on the ingredient list the whole nutritional label comes up. The salted caramel has 20 grams of carbs. But they are DELICIOUS! I get them at Wal-Mart but I've also seen them at Target. They are so yummy and the perfect size. I have a bizzare love-hate relationship with Peanut Butter so these bars are perfect for me. After a month long liquid diet I just couldn't do Protein drink anymore. Then I found these.

Good luck!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
