What are some good Protein Bars? Thanks

I found Quest bars to be very good. They have a variety of flavors, so try a sampling to pick the one you like the most. After I picked the kind I liked the most, I ordered them by the box on Amazon over the internet to get the best prices.

I also fully endorse the Quest bars. I suggest trying a variety. My personal favorites are strawberry cheesecake, apple pie and white chocolate raspberry. They provide an excellent amount of Protein and are low in net carbs. In addition most contain around 20g of Fiber which will help move things along. You will be hard pressed to find a bar that offers fiber like this one.

I'm anti Protein bar myself. They are too much like candy bars, like a candy bar in disguise. Most of them are high in sugars and even the ones that aren't taste like sugar. It's too much of a trigger food for me.

I feel that they are food that go down to easily, are chewed up and eaten too fast, and don't really fill you up. They are a slider food to me.

I like eating beef Jerky a lot. It's not like a candy bar, takes a long time to eat, fills you up, and is high in Protein.

Just my two cents.

The salt doesn't bother me. I have a hard time with meat too but Jerky seems to go down. I have to chew it really well of course.

I've not found anything that compares to the awesome macros provided by the Quest bars.

They are Protein packed, loaded with Fiber and have very low sugar. I've tried most of the flavors and find them to be outstanding.

It's going to be a while before I'm eating stuff like that again......but when I do, Quest bars will be a staple. I'll keep a couple boxes locked away in my desk at work. Take a bite and chew forever.......repeat a few minutes later. It'll take a while to eat a bar as they are very dense.

Great product.

My sister is a bypass patient (15 years ago) and she is really fond of Cliff bars. I'm not really familiar with them but will give them a try, too.

I eat Quest as well, you can get a variety 12 pack on Amazon for around $25.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
