What are some good protein bars that you all are eating? I am looking for some tasty, low carb, low sugar, and high protein bars.

Quest are the nastiest bars, they literally taste like protein bars, you might as well drink a protein shake. Sure, they come in nice flavors but they don't taste like it at all. I eat atkins protein bars, those actually taste good.

How many grams of carbs/sugar? Which ones do you like?

I think if you try the chocolate chip cookie dough quest bars you'll love them, there's real chocolate in them

Unsweetened chocolate but really tastes good.. All the other quest bars, I agree aren't great. almond crunch I like though..but just okay.

The mudslide bar has 1 sugar, 3 carbs and 15 Protein. They range depending on what you get, some have 16 or 17 protein. They have meal bars, snack bars and treats and of course protein shake. They also actually have meals but I don't like them.

The atkins diet is a low carb, high protein diet which is what we're suppose to be on so it's perfect.

I pretty much like all the flavors except the cookie dough one.

Oh wow, we must certainly have different tastes! I haven't tried the mudslide bar but will do!

Thanks I'm always looking for new things to try! I used to like a coconut one they had that was like a mounds bar but it had too much sugar--was probably a "treat" one!

I love the Quest bars myself but like to mix it up!

I'm watching this topic very closely.....BariatricPal is launching our own Bariatric Store within the next few weeks. We plan on stocking every flavor of Quest protein bars, powders and chips as well as hundreds of other protein, vitamin and Bariatric products.

I've found some more brands recently that I like. Here is my list of one's worth looking into.

Quest

Combat Crunch (likely my current favorite)

Power Crunch (original, not crisp or choklat)

Some Pure Protein

Premier Protein Fiber Bars

D's Naturals No Cow Bars (only tried one so far, but I liked it)

Some Atkins bars, but most of them I've stayed away from

Chocorite Protein Bars (a lot like Quest, but half the size)

I'm torn on the Krush bars. They are like Quest, but a little blander, even though they have more calories. However, I like the texture a lot... more dense cake like. I've only tried two of the six flavors in my sampler box, though.

Oh yeah I forgot I tried the Combat Crunch too, Peanut Butter Cup one was good and highly recommended.

More of a treat taste than the Quest bars. ????

Yes I agree, try the combat crunch bars. My husband calls it his candy bar. Peanut butter cup is our fave with cookie dough coming in second. I also like quest bars but my husband hates them all except for the s'mores one. I think quest is a little bit cleaner protein bar but combat beats it on taste.

I really like the Premier Protein bars you can get at Costco.

I abslutely love Stabilyze Nutrition Bars which I purchased at Costco. They do not have quite as much protein as I would like (11g) but net carbs of 7g and 200 calories make them not too bad. The flavor I am currently enjoying is Dark Chocolate Coconut Cashew, a chewy bar wrapped in dark choc.

Think Thin bars are awesome, too

Ok, so I was at the store today and looked at a couple of the brands yall mentioned and they are really high in carbs...did your nutrionist say you could eat these?

The atkins bars that I eat are extremely low in carbs and I was told they were good to eat.

The Combat Crunch are higher than the Quest, but I don't count Fiber carbs. Most of the Quest carbs are fiber. I also don't try to stay at 20-50g carbs for the day like some do. (I did in the beginning, but not anymore. I'm still low, but not that low. )

From what I remember, the Atkins bars were high calorie for the amount of Protein, so I was more concerned with that. If I remember right, some use a lot of maltitol, too, which is the most sugar-like of the sugar alcohols as far as glycemic index goes. That said, I didn't look at all variants of Atkins bars. I did eat some of the Peanut Butter fudge daybreak bars.
