I go back to work tommorrow and am trying to figure out some things to keep at work  incase of overtime.   I was looking at protein bars at walmart and WOW  they are really high in calories!!!!

What kind do you use??

 For protein bars, I keep Quest and Power Crunch on hand. I actually have a mini fridge in my office and keep protein shakes and string cheese as a better alternative to bars.

 Quest and Luna bars work for me.  (quest has more protein)  I always have one in my purse, you never know when you are going to get stuck some where and need to eat.

I don't keep protein bars at work. Instead, I keep single-serve protein powder in flavors I know I like, and a couple self-stable milks (most grocery stores and Walmart carry this in the organic food aisle). If I need to stay late and have protein, they're still a better deal for me.

 I keep Balance Bars, Quest Bars, Pure Protein and Supreme Protein Bars in my desk at work along with almonds and when I want something with less calories I also have Beef Jerky.

Brands can vary by flavor or type of bar but I have found Quest bars (questproteinbar.com) and Pure Protein bars are high in protein (20 g) and low in net carbs and sugar.  Atkin bars are low in carbs and sugar but some have very little protein.  I have also found some Detour bars with 15 g of protein and low carbs. I buy the Pure Protein and Detour bars at Sam's Club.  They are by the protein powders near the vitamins.

I keep Pure Protein and Supreme Protein Bars in my desk.  Walmart carries both brands.  Sams Club carries Pure Protein and I keep hoping they will start stocking Supreme brand.

I use the Pure protein bars, just because they're more accessible.  You can buy them at Wal-mart instead of ordering online.  The smores and and peanut butter are my 2 favs.  But the double dutch chocolates are good too.  I wasn't a fan of the cookies one.
