protein bars!!

Im looking for any ideas on any good protein bars low in calories and carbs and sugar... Any good ideas? has anybody tried the premier ones from costco?

Most of them are just candy bars;  look for a protein bar with at least 8 grams of protein
and less than 200 calories.

Best wishes,

I try not to eat protein bars a lot, but I do always keep one in my purse & at my desk just in case.

The ones that I like are the Power Crunch - it's about 200 cal, 5g sugar, 13g protein,10g carb & the other one I like is the Think Thin bar it is 240 cal, 0 sugar, 20g protein, 24g carb. & 8g fat

You can get them both at trader joe's.

I like oh yea protein bars and they have over 20 grams of protein. I am not sure if they are at cosco but I know they have premier protein bars and they have about 20 grams.

Pure Protein, 20g protein
Target market pantry has some that are 14g
Cliff builder bars, 20g

I don't know anyone with RNY that has "dumped" from these, they are not as high sugars as some brands. and usually all of  these are reasonable priced bars

Woah, Clif Builder bars have 20 g of sugar in them! I don't dump but they do put me in a carb coma if I have one as an afternoon snack.

I LOVE the Supreme Protein bars!!  They are very yummy and sure help with chocolate cravings.

Hi,

I have tried the premier nutrition ones from Costco.  They have about 270 or 280 calories (depending on which of the 3 flavors you have), BUT they have 30 grams of PROTEIN!  And they taste pretty good!  Also, I would recommend the Premier Nutrition chocolate "shake" drinks that come in 11 oz boxes -- also at Costco.  They have less calories AND they also have 30 GRAMS of PROTEIN and they taste very good cold (not quite like a real chocolate shake, but what can you do?).

I buy them both and am very happy with them.  They both taste better than any other "30 grams of protein" that I have had (not sure how much meat/fish you would have to eat to get 30 gms of protein.

I think they are a pretty good deal.  The drinks have much less carbs than the bars, but the bars still have less grams of carbs than the number of grams of protein they have.  If you eat half a bar, you will be getting 15 grams of protein and 13 grams of carbs.

Just my 2 cents,

Loves! Don't dump or anything!

My latest favs are Quest bars. They don't have that fake chocolate-y coating more dense... 10 seconds in the microwave and they takes like fresh baked yummy bars. They hold up well in my purse too when traveling cause they don't have that melty chocolate.

Old post I did about them with a pic: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2011/07/quest-new-flavors-giveaway.html

Others I like are Oh Yeah Protein Wafers... more like a protein Little Debbie Nutty Bar if you recall those.
