Snacks and Protein Bars

[Normandagle 7]

Hi Folks! Happy New Year!

Just curious what everyone is eating for Snacks? I just order some protien puffs from twin peaks ingredients. Excites to try them!

Also, is anyone else using protien bars instead of shakes once their doctor gu3ves them the go ahead? I have been eating Pure Protein Bars for a couple weeks now. They are good (depending on the type), but are supet heavy. Any other protien bar suggestions?

I used to eat and still like Pure Protein Bars alright, the plain chocolate ones, not the Peanut Butter ones. I really, really like Optimum Nutrition Protein Cake Bites in the chocolate frosted donut flavor. I thought I liked "moon cheese" Snacks, but not so much anymore. I don't like Pork rinds. I still do the occasional sugar-free popsicle. Oh, and peanuts.

I generally have the triple chocolate bar from Atkins. It's 13 grams of Protein, 160 calories, 1 gram of sugar, 8 grams of fat, and 15 carbs. Snacks vary. I sometimes will have a fruit cup, carrots and ranch dip, mini bell peppers with some cheese sprinkled on it dipped in salsa, protein chips, carb smart ice cream, a cheese stick, unsweetened apple sauce cup, etc.

I do not eat Snacks. I just eat three meals per day and sometimes add Protein Drinks between meals.

I do eat a Protein Bar as a meal sometimes. I'm obsessed with Built Bars -- I've tried a lot of different Protein bars, and nothing else has ever measured up to Built Bars. It seems like most people either love them or hate them, so I'd recommend starting with one box to see if you like them. They have a 6-bar variety box and an 18-bar box with all 18 flavors on their web site. You can buy single bars from the BariatricPal Store, but the shipping isn't worth it unless you're already buying other stuff (and they don't have all of the flavors).

I have been looking at Built Bars. Might have to try them! The main reason i went with the Pure Protein bars is because they all have like 20g of protein so they are a great way yo get your protein in
