Is a protein bar safe 2.5 months out?

[fsulady 36]

I am trying to find ways to get my Protein in, but the thought of any more shakes makes me gag! I can't eat enough meat, etc in a day to meet my goals.

Has anyone tried Protein Bars at 2 months??

They came on my plan at 5 weeks along with solid food. Just be sure they are really high Protein, low sugar/carbs. There are many out there that are not good for you. I like Atkins brand.

You just need to be careful with certain Protein Bars - many have added sugars. How about cheese, greek yogurt, adding Protein Powder to liquids or food, etc.

I do cheese and yogurt without a problem....but they are still so low in Protein. I need something more concentrated

I eat part of a Protein bar on the go.

I buy the think thin ones. The are good and not hard on my stomach.

I've been doing Protein bars since I was maybe one and a half months out? I like the Quest and Atkins bars.

I was worried because I really hadn't eaten anything "crunchy" so I wasn't sure if I would have a hard time tolerating it...I don't know why but I am nervous about experimenting with new foods

They are not all crunchy. Shop around. The chocolate Peanut Butter by Atkins is soft and delish. And, dont be afraid to experiment with new foods. You gotta enjoy your new life. I am 2.5 mths out and haven't had a problem with any food and I hope it stays that way!

Thanks for the motivation I will start experimenting more...

I was similar where I got tied of the Protein shakes right around 3 months. I use the pure Protein 1.76 oz bars as a meal usually Breakfast. I buy the 18-count variety pack at Sam's club but you also find them @ Walmart. Never had a problem with them, just took small bites and chewed well.

I agree with Suzzzzzz, the Atkins bars (I like the salted caramel) are soft and the macros are good. I also like Quest bars, but I think they're a little heavier. I've been able to have Protein bars since 4 weeks out and haven't had issues with them or anything other than eggs.

I just got this one, not bad at all.

That's a little bit too high in the fat to Protein ratio for my taste. I like the Quest Nutrition bars myself. My fav right now is the oatmeal chocolate Chip
