Do you have a certain type of bar you like? Can you eat all of it at once? I am 2.5 yrs. out and need to increase my protein. THANKS!

I don't eat them often because it's like crack to me, but Power Crunch bars are delicious IMO.  Many like the Quest bars, I didn't care for them and they made me feel sick.

If I'm using the protein bar as a meal then I can eat the whole thing, as a snack no I'll eat half and save the rest for later.

Best protein bars I've tried are "Oh Yeah" - available at Costco.  They are smaller than others, and not as dense, and yes, I can eat one slowly, over 15 mins or so (I am 15 weeks out from my surgery).  15 g of protein and they taste better than many I've tried.  i've also tried "Pure Protein" from Costco and they're okay in a pinch, but they're heavier.  They have 20 g of protein.  Both varieties, depending on the flavour, have 180-200 calories each.  Good luck.

I like this one from Nature Valley, but I don't eat them often because of the carbs.

Quest bars are a good choice with lots of protein and not much sugar.  I prefer Luna bars and Zone Perfect bars, though.  I think they are tastier.  They have less protein and more sugar than the Quest bars, though.

I love Power Crunch bars. So yummy. I probably eat 2 a week. Great to keep at my desk for lunch.

I like the Quest bars.  I think some of them are quite tasty while some of them are only okay.  My favorites are Cinnamon Roll and Lemon Cream Pie, but I also a few others.
