So i loooove the Quest chocolate chip cookie Protein Bar but they are pretty pricey so i want to know what else is out there. I try not to eat anything with higher sugar then Protein so thats what im aiming for. Im a sweets person so anything sweet is what i like the most.

There are not too many out there with the same quality of Protein at a lower price. I like Quest, Premier Protein, pure Protein and think thin bars. They all cost about the same.

GNC has sales on the Quest bars buy 3 get 1 free. If you have a gold card you will also save. I have used the Quest bars most of the time for a way to get Protein if I am on the go. Not all of the flavors are great but I do like the chocolate chip cookie dough, dark chocolate chunk and coconut . Good calories to protein ratio . lowest amount of sugar.

My absolute favorite is Atkins bars. Specifically, I loooooove the Peanut Butter Pretzel bar.

You don't find the atkins bars too high in saturated fat or fat in general? That's the only thing that has turned me off from those bars. That and most of them are really high in calories.

No, they fit nicely into my meal plans most days.

I like Pure Protein strawberry or Blueberry ( 19-20g and 190-200 cals.) I can get these on sale for 10 for $10 at my local Fry's Grocery( same as Kroger stores for those who have Kroger). They are good in a bind when I may have forgot to pack a snack or if I cannot leave work for some reason. I am not a fan of chocolate or Peanut Butter flavors, but that is just me

you won't find better quality than Quest.

Read the ingredients. Many bars are just junk food disguised as "healthy"

The calories weren't worth the Protein. Many of them seem to be a replacement for a candy bar for me and a trigger.

That is why it's important to look at the ingredients, and Protein content. There are plenty of bars that are 200+ calories with less than 15g of Protein and 12+ sugars, and half the ingredients are chemicals I can't pronounce. Be wise and read everything:-)

Also all post on here are what works for us, we are all different in our journey and what works. I have taken some suggestions that worked wonderfully for me and others that just didn't. :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
