I'm trying Protein Bars!

Since I'm not a huge fan of the protein shakes and I really need to up my protein intake (because of my hair - or rather the never ending lack there of) I went to Wal-Mart tonight and loaded up on a few different kinds. I got two types of Snickers Marathon Protein Performance bars - one has 20g of protein and one has 26g and two types of Atkins Advantage bars - one has 18g and one has 17g. Anyone else going this route? I will let you guys know which ones I think are best! Also I have been eating the slim fast muffin bars for breakfast (25% of daily calcium) and they are great! Have a great day! Jenny

yes i am a big fan of the protien bar, i always thought the snickers one had sugar in it...i never even looked at the package to see..i will grab some of them. thanks for that tidbit.

Your right, the snickers one does have 23g of sugar in it. But it also has the most protien (of the ones I picked up). Fortunately I don't have a problem with sugar. But the Atkins are good too and don't have any sugar (well one has 2g of sugar alchohol but I don't know if that counts). Good Luck! Jenny

I eat: Slim-Fast low carb bars Q-Smart bars South Beach Diet formerly Carbwell bars (peanut butter) I also keep one in my purse. Deanna

1. Power Crunch bars (my favorite). They come in 4 flavors, which are all great. I just buy the mixed box and get all 4 flavors. 185 cal, 9 carbs, 4 sugar, and 14 protein. 2. Q-Smart bars (Quaker). These taste a lot like the Kudos bars I used to eat before surgery. 120 cal, 9 carbs, sugar 1, protein 10. 3. South Beach Diet Bars. I have tried the chocolate and peanut butter. These are higher in sugar, but don't bother me. 140 cal, 15 carbs, 7 sugars, 10 protein. 4. I like the Atkins Advantage bars also. Have tried the Atkins Think Thin Bars which are okay, but high in carbs and calories with no sugar. 230 calories, 23 carbs, 0 sugar, 20 protein. SueZ

WOW! YOU GIRLS KNOW YOUR STUFF...I WILL BROADEN MY SEARCH FOR THESE ITEMS.....THANKS

Hey Kate, Just wondering about the low carb Marathon Bars. I went to the www that you mentioned and they sound great!, but I have looked at so many places around here and can't find the low carb ones. Where do you purchase them? Thanks. SueZ

okay everyone...you should try the South Beach Diet Meal Replacement Bars they have 19 grams of protein and the sugar and carbs are low but cant remember what they are. Calories are 210. But they are great.

Nancy, can you get them at Wal-Mart? Jenny
