Protein Bars? Any recommendations that are good to start on?

Read the labels.  I only use the Quest Protein bars flavors with no sugar alcohols.   For on the go snacks at your stage cut the bars into four pieces and carry in a ziplock baggie.  If that proves too much you can cut into six or eight pieces.  You are very early out.  The crunch bars will go down easier.  I love my chocolate brownie Quest bars.  I eat them very slowly, taking tiny bites and chewing well.  With 20 grams of protein and 170 calories they are the ideal snack or dessert for me.  Quest advertises as the only truly low carb bar on the market.  They are correct and all the fiber is just what my system needs to stay regular.  It is worth it to me to pay for shipping.

I couldn't find any quest bars with 0 sugar alcohols

Apple Pie

Chocolate Brownie

Vanilla Almond Crunch

Mixed Berry Bliss

Peanut Butter Supreme

Peanut Butter and Jelly

You might have to order the Questbars with no sugar alcohols.  Stores that stock them seem to carry the ones with sugar alcohols.  It is worth it to me to pay shipping and get what I want.

I really like the south beach diet bars.  Snack ones are 9 gr protein 130 cal & the meal are 15 gr protein & 180 cal they taste great

I will have to try the Quest Bars. Pre-op I loved the GNC Brand Bars.

I really like Supreme Protein bars. I get them at Walmart by the vitamins. I also use atkin advantage bars. I am 1 1/2 years out and I use them every day along with my protein shakes.
