Protein Bars
I suggest getting the 2 different sample packs, to see which kind you like. They have one line that is lower in calories, and I like those better....

I ordered Mixed Berry, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Cant wait till they come...3-5 days. Right now I have the Pure Protein Choc. & PB. I compared the lables, the ones I have have whey protein as well (which I guess is good) The Quest bars have a lot of fiber as compared to the Pure Protein. We'll see which one tastes better. Thanks for the input.
I recieved like 8 free sample bars from Quest, which were all Brownie and the Cinnamon Roll bars.... the Brownie one had that weird sweetner taste to it, so I wasn't a fan - I even tried nuking it for 10 seconds, but couldn't get past the weird taste. The Cinnamon Roll one is FANTASTIC.
I purchased the sampler packs from Quest, and so far, I'm really liking the All Natural Line. I'm too scared of trying the regular line because of disliking the Brownie one, so I'm saving it for after surgery. I've had the Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coconut Cashew, and the Cinnamon roll - all really great.
Just a heads up, if you order from QuestProteinBar.com - they have a satisfaction guarantee policy! And if you google, you can get coupon codes for free samples with your order or free shipping :)

The Pure Protein bars, IMHO, are the best.
I have looked at the Quest bars but they are way too high in carbs for me. I don't do the "Net Carb" thing---I look at total carbs. I am VERY carb sensitive so calculating net carbs is kind of a misleading thing for me.
Jus****ch the Pure Protein bars---some of the flavors are higher in carbs than others. The Chocolate Peanut Butter and te Chocolate Deluxe are the lowest carb but the chocolate deluxe has more of a "whang" to it.
I buy y Pure Protein bars at WalMart. WalMart also carries another brand that I like--Carb Conscious Supreme Protein. They come in two sizes but I use the 1.59 oz size. They have about 15 gm of protein and 13 - 15 carbs. Again, some of the flavors have higher cals/carbs than others.
One thing about alot of these bars is that they contain sugar alcohols. For me, it makes me rumbly in my tumbly and I have FOUL gas. Gas X strips still work like a charm.
