Do you eat protein bars ?

If so which kind do you like? I gotta watch the sugar in them.

I like the Kashi go lean...but they make me gassy! My favs are the twisted but they are no longer avail in stores. I am still milking the box becca got me...Try Target...you can buy individual ones to try out before you buy them by the box!

I found one last twisted bar hiding in my bread box just now (guess what's for lunch???)

It's counts are:


190 calories
6 fat
20 carb (13 sugar)
15 protein


These are still my fav but they are getting harder and harder to find.

Hey Holli,

The best one's I've found with lower sugar (I always check since my sis is RNY and has trouble getting in all her protein) is the South Beach Living cereal bars.  I'm talking about the smaller ones you find in the cereal aisle not the bigger meal replacement ones.

Here's the counts:

Peanut butter flavor:

140 calories
5 fat
15 carb (6g sugar)
10 protein



Cinni Rasin flavor:

140 calories
5 fat
15 carb (7 sugar)
10 protein

They make a chocolate one but I think it tastes nasty so I dont have it to give you the counts but I bet it's pretty much the same.

Can you handle that much sugar?  My sis can up to about 15g and then she starts to have issues.

Thanks for the info Becka !

I got a Atkins Advantage Choc. Peanut Butter Bar

240 calories
carbs 22
protein 19

this is a pretty good size bar so it will be 2 snacks.

I like the Adkins Advantage, too, but you're right - too big for one sitting!

Of course I eat protein bars!  lol
There are lots of good ones out there -but if you need the protein, you can't beat the Pure Protein Bars from Wal-mart - as far as the sugar/carb to protein ration goes!  I use them as my staple protein bars but use the South Beach ones as "treats" - meaning I eat them but not as often! 

If you check out www.revivalsoy.com  they also have some good protein bars!

I do eat them and I use "THink THin" bars.  I eat half of one for a snack

Here is the breakdown for a full bar:
Cals: 240                  Fat: 8                     Carbs: 27          Fiber: 1    Sugars: 0             Pro: 20
