Snickers Marathon Protein Bar

is really good it has 21 grams of protein but it has 20 grams of SUGAR and 40 grams of carbs. Is that not good? I had a piece of it, I did not want to eat the whole thing because it was high in sugar. I also found out that sugar does NOT bother me at all. The good thing is that I am not a sweet eater at all and I can't stand a lot of chocolates and I do not allow my kids to eat sugar either just because I don't eat sweets.  At 36 I do not have cavities or fillings because I stayed away from sweet stuff.  is all Protein Bars high in sugar? can you give me some ideas on some prtein bars that are high in protein and is low in sugar  and carbs. Thanks  Mo

Personally, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Only because I know that they do have other protein bars with almost as much protein with way less sugar. That's not the Low Carb Snicker's one is it? I thought theirs was much lower in sugar than that. The Oh Yeah wafers are pretty low. I eat the South Beach and Atkin's bars as well. Some are higher in Sugar alcohols which I've been told to divide it in half and count that as the sugar grams. I still try to keep my sugars under 3 grams when possible. I'll go up to about 7 and then call reduce portions if its above that.

Everyone is different, but the only time I splurge on Sugar grams is when I eat things that aren't diet. I don't dump on sugar either, very scary.

Amber, I threw it in the trash I did not trust it. I mean I did eat a small piece but it was just to much sugar and carbs for me. It is very scary that sugar does not make me dump. I just stay away period from sugar.

Thanks  Mo

You Betta throw that damn thang in the trash .. Way to many sugars .. and carbs .  Try  Power Crunch  ( Vitam Store or on line possibly )  Pay Day Protein Bars ( Walmart )  You want to shoot for low sugar - low  carbs . Right now you are to far out for high calorie bars . So watch that close too ..  But throw that bar in the trash .. whoooo .. thinking about those sugars .. makes me wanna HURL .. lol ..  Hugs,  Tink

It is in the trash, see I sent my husband to the store and this is what he brought me back home. I did not try it until today. Tink, I can just imagined your face when you read this post. It is gone in the trash. I did not eat it. But, it is scary that sugar does not make me dump. SMOOCHES!!!! Mo

You are so cute ... yea throw it out ... some people do eat them .. but if you want to be successfull at your stage .. stick to what you know best .. low sugar .. low carb .. high protein . It will work .  There is another bar that I used to eat .. I am trying to think of the name of it , but right now it escapes me .. when I think of it I will let you know .. it taste just as good as that marathon bar ..  The bars I have in my store from Bariatric Choice are awesome : http://www.bariatricchoice.com/affiliatewiz/aw.aspx?A=3&Task =Click The Whey Prodiet ones are the best . If you decide you are going to try them out . Hit me up and I will give you 10$ off your first order ... opps... did I say that too loud .. LOL

?? For ya Nat...I was checking out the site and they sell the cereal protein bars..those are pretty much what I stay on because anything with the heavy chocolate makes me sick..anyways..it says soy protein..isn't that what we are suppose to be trying to stay away from because we don't absorb it well..Another quicky..I heard that we only take in no more then 20 grams pre serving..So like if I do a 30 grams shake,I am only absoring 20 grams of it...Have you heard of this..because if this is the case no wonder I am not getting these last 45 pds off...grrrr

You are correct . But go to the site . Over to the left you will see a catagory called WHEY . Click on that and it will take you down to the whey bars .  Some people say we only absorb 30 grams . I can do 40 ... and if it sticks it sticks .  Soy is so low on the BV value . And for woman it messes with your homones . So I stay away from them .. waisted calories !!!

Mo- I used to eat the Power Crunch Protein Bars from the Vitamin Shoppe (you can get them cheaper online in whole boxes).  If you want to try them I have all of them except the peanut butter flavors (PM me your address)...they make me have issues since I had my gallbladder out...I think it's the fat, not the sugar. 

Cool, I just it to you... Thanks Mo
