These are my favorites. I think they're the same as GreenTealael's Great Value bars she showed above. I get them at costco in a super-sized box.

At this point, I don't eat them very often (maybe once or twice a month). I mostly keep them on hand in case I know I'll be going somewhere that food choices are slim/non-existent such as traveling or work-related affairs. They help me avoid making REALLY bad choices. My husband keeps them in his locker at work because he doesn't have a cafeteria available and if his lunch either didn't satisfy or he has to work overtime, he has something to keep him going.

These bars are a little high in carbs. Hence, the slippery slope. I've tried many of the other Protein Bars and don't care for the Protein flavor. To me, it tastes so artificial. So, I settled on these because I can recognize most of the ingredients just by looking at it as well as the ingredient list.

Look closely... Too much saturated fat.. Too much sodium.. And sugars.. And 190kcal for maybe 10g protein?

So true !!

I like the Vega bars and Clif Builder bars. The No-Cow ones are tasting quite good as well. (food police, don't waste your time to b*tch about the macros, please)

However, I rarely have an appetite for them since a whole while. I guess I ate too much of them in the first months after my revision. I always have some bars in my desk for 24 h shifts at work though.

OMG the Vegabars are indecently good.

I think they are the same except i can't have the Nature Valley brand because they aren't kosher (i think it was the glycerin or gelatin)

That is up to the individual and they are allowed to choose. Free will.

Some of us have found balance and are maintaining at goal weight. I hope you do as well.

However your snide remarks are unwelcomed in a forum meant for support.

Postings like this are usually meant dead serious on this board and I'm not so sure you were really making a joke.
