Where do you get Quest bars?

GNC, Vitamin Shop, Quest.com, Amazon

Thanks! I hope they sell them individually so I can try different ones without buying a big pack. Don't you hate that? I don't want to buy 18 of them if I don't know if I'll like them.

I eat one Cookies and cream Quest bar every day to help me reach my Protein goals per day. As another poster has said they are quite low in net carbs due to the high fibre (it helps me keep regular).

Cookies and cream is my favourite! I have tried cookie dough - found that just way too sweet, apple pie - this is my 2nd favourite, white chocolate and raspberry - this one is nice and i have tried coconut and cashew - I'm not a fan of this one.

I tried one today for the first time. I could only eat half but I will say it was very good. I bought several flavored. Today's was coconut cashew. I bought them at Smith's/krogers

They are starting to carry them in grocery stores too! Which is great because you can compare quality to other lower prices bars.

My favorite it the cookie dough and apple pie!!! Yummy! Haven't had in a few months because my NUT says not yet!

I keep them in my purse at all times. When you are hungry, you're hungry ! Fast food is no longer an option for me so Quest fits the bill nicely. They look kind of ugly but I really do like the taste of the majority of them. The manager at my local GNC told me that quest bars are their #1 food product. He said they sell so quick they are always fresh at GNC. I have a stale box from one of the Internet stores. Most of the time , GNC is less expensive than the quest site .

Can someone explain "net carbs" ....maybe I am freaked out by the labels

Your body does not process Fiber in the same way that it does "other" carbs, so if your aim is to be low carb, just watch for your net carbs. That means total carbs minus Fiber. Most Quest bars are 1-4g net carbs and perfect for low carbs diets. Fiber is good! If the total carb count is brought up by plenty of fiber, that's a good thing.

My favorite is Cookies and cream, and chocolate chip cookie dough. You can also mold them into Cookies and bake them. There are tons of other augmentation recipes online. Changes the texture and they're super tasty. Full boxes sell on Amazon for cheapest if you have prime.

I've had a Quest bar every day since I was about 2 months out. Over 99% of them have been chocolate Brownie.

Personally, I thought Quest bars were some of the worst Protein bars I've had. I ordered a sampler pack before surgery and they had a variety of flavors, but ALL of them had a moldy mildew smell to me. They were too expensive and I had to throw them out. Even tried heating them as my NUT said, but no luck.

I've not had a Protein Bar since surgery but have opted instead to stay on whole , real, organic food as I want to nourish my body back to health instead of getting back into processed foods again. Almond butter on half an apple is a good, quick treat. I work in a medical clinic and there are all kinds of temptations ( cakes Cookies, Celebration potlucks!) but I bring what I'm supposed to eat or a shake and nobody's the wiser.

So far, it is working!

I do wish I could get all my Protein from whole foods but I just can't eat enough. Love apple and almond or Peanut Butter but 2T has only 4g protein for the 190 calories and a Quest bar has 20 for 170 calories. I can really only eat half of either above servings at a time bc of my restriction so I often opt for half a quest bar and 10g protein vs the 4 for an apple and 1T nut butter.

Edited to clarify the counts above don't include the apple which is about 60-70 calories and all carbs no protein.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
