Special K protein bars
THey have 15 grams of sugar to 10 grams of protein.....so the ratio isn't great. (I try to match sugar to protein or exceed with protein. South Beach Diet protein bars (not snack bars) are a little better.....6 grams sugar...10 grams of protein. Susan

I am so mistrustful of ALL these bars . I mean what is the main ingredient , grain, carbs ? What we're trying to stay away from ? then whey ( thats ok ) then FAT .. and some kind of SWEETENER , none of which are really good .
Bottom line is most of them taste more or less like - hello - CANDY BARS
Theyre FATTENING .
they MAY be filling for some people .. for me, they make me want to eat MORE . Give me REAL FOOD , a soup , a salad with some lowfat protein in it ... and some water to drink ... now for the same amount of calories I've sat down for a MEAL , I don't need to take a laxative and im not looking to eat something else ....

You have to watch the sugar/carbs on those bars.
There is a new product out by Special K though...it's a flavored water packet. I tried the lemon Ice Tea the other day. It has very low carbs, 40 calories and 0 table sugar. This, too, you have to not over-do it because it does have artificial sweeteners. But the bonus is, the water drink has 6 grams of protein in it and 4 grams of fiber! And it tastes really good!

I shy away from Special K products, they tend to be higher in carbs than alternate brands. At least their carbs tends to exceed their protein (and like Susan, I try to match or have protein exceed)
Here are some that I like:
Premier Protein
Pure Protein
Focus28
Too addictive to have in house:
Luna Protein (chococherryalmond)
Slim Fast (cookie dough) meal bar
Also stay away from the SlimFast "snack" bars, they only have like 2gms of protein
