protein energy bars

has anyone tried the high protein energy bars to help get more protein in our systems.......if so please let me know what you think of them.....thanks

there are so many different kinds, different flavours, different brands. Difficult to answer your question.

i used them when i need to get more protein and calories into me, about two months post surgery. Now i don't use them, at 6 months post surgery.

i have tried ISO femme and they are new......they are high energy protein bars ....i am trying it to get more protein in my body......i am having a hard time getting the protein shakes into me...so i am trying to find other ways of getting it into me.....thanks for your help.....

They're handy as backup foods if you get the right ones. Many energy bars are loaded in sugar, and many of those that aren't are loaded with sugar alcohols. I aim for 18 g of protein or more, less than 5 grams of actual sugars, less than 15 grams of carbs, less than 200 cals and prefer those with as few sugar alcohols as possible. Oh, and watch the kind of protein too... many bars are soy based, not whey or cassein based. For me that's bad b/c of Thyroid and PCOS, but in generally soy is estrogenic and I think we have way too much estrogen retention and production going on to make more if I have a choice.

These days, Quest bars are my favorite, but I had to special order them to the states while I was there. They are expensive and even more so if getting them sent to Canada. The local ones I buy are Pure Protein bars at Costco.

awesome flyingwoman...thanks so much for you help.....i will continue to look....the ones i have now are 15 g of protein.....i will look for higher ones......
