Hi Carole! I eat a lot of protein bars. At least one or two a day, most days. Here are some I've tried. I do not suggest buying any type in bul****il you know how your body will react to them. I dump on several bars that "shouldn't" effect me - but I do! Good bars (in my experience) EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control Bars- Cookies & Cream EAS AdvantEDGE Carb Control Crisp Bars - Double Chocolate Crisp EAS AdvantEDGE Monring Energy - Apple Cinnamon & Cinnamon Swirl EAS Myoplex Carb Sense Bars Premier Nutrition Protein Eight Bars - Cookies and Cream Nitro-Tech Carb Control Bites & Bars - Strawberry, Blueberry & Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip (these have weight loss supplements in them...) Glenny's Slim Carb Bars - Chocolate Genisoy Low Carb Bars - Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter (not my favorite, but DH loves these, and they don't bother my belly) There are lots more... but these are the ones sitting in my protein bar basket in the kitchen... Many of these are also very high in calories (up to 260 cals with 30 grams protein) - and should be used as meals... I don't eat those ones as often, because I like to eat a lot during the day... So-so bars- Atkins Protein Bars - nasty texture but edible Slim Fast Low Carb Peanut Butter Crunch - a tasty SNACK, no protein whatsoever! BAD bars (make me sick sick sick!) Power Crunch Bars (instant dump city - and not particularly healthy anyway ) Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe (major dumping with diarrhea! ...) SlimWhey Bars DETOUR Bars Odyssey Bars Atkins "candy" bars Most any bar that is made to really resemble a CANDY makes me ill... it has to be the excess sugar/sugar alcohols... Beth I gave up jogging because my thighs kept rubbing together and setting my pantyhose on fire. HW- 313 SW- 298 CW- 143 GW- 130 http://meltingmama.blogspot.com/

I see a lot of daily food diaries with protein bars as breakfast or snack. What kind of protein bars are they? I looked at some over the weekend and most of them have very high carbs, some high sugar. Can anyone make some good recommendations for protein bars? I'm not into sweet ones as much as maybe granola. Thanks!

Josie! LOVE the new pic! Good job, Gorgeous!!! Janice
