Protein Bars.......
Just curious if any of you eat them? Today I ate my first protein bar since surgery. I swear I read about them on the RNY board on OH, but I can't remember. They are Pure Protein bars. Yummm...it was really good, but here are the stats and I'm looking for some opinions. Me personally, I think they are a little high in calories but otherwise I guess it looks okay. They sure do fill you up! Maybe I should have only had a half of a one, but it tasted really good.
1 Bar
Calories 200
Total Fat 6 grams
Carbs 16 grams
Fiber 1 gram
Sugars 2 grams
Sugar Alcohol 6 grams
Protein 20 grams
What do you think??
Thanks!

Mary, the ingredients are a long list....but here is the first few
chocolate Coating (Malitol), Fractionated Palm Kernel OIl, Whey Protein Concentrate, Cocoa, Calcium Carbonate, Natural Flavoring.....etc.....
I had the chocolate peanut butter flavor and it tasted really good, but man, was I full most all of the afternoon. I think a half would have been good enough.

Holy crap! Way too much sugar in that first one.
I do use the South Beach ones sometimes -- but go for the protein bar instead of the meal replacement ones.

yes I know
I didn't even look at the guide because I bought it at the vitamin shop and just assumed it was OK. I saved the wrapper and when I put it into my food tracking application. I was mortified.
And my reaction was the same as yours.
I was very surprised that I didn't dump.
After I calculated that sugar I seriously was rethinking protein bars.

Hi Nan,
I use Protein Bars when I am having a hard time getting my protein goal with natural proteins. I am NOT a fan of the powders so I find the bars to be tolerable. I really like the Supreme Carb conscious bars. The Original (orange wraapper) tastes like a hundred grand bar and I really like the new cookies and cream flavor. The Sugar count is low enough, so I dont dump from them and it doesnt raise my blood sugars. The calories are higher than I would like. I buy the smaller bars and I take my time finishing them becasue they can be filling. They come in two sizes, aand I usually buy the smaller ones becasue thats about all i can take at a time.

Thanks Rob for the link. I am going to check them out. One of my favorite candy bars used to be the hundred grand bar! I'm really afraid to test the waters with sugar at all. I am really afraid of dumping and to be honest have no idea if I dump on sugar or not, I just don't want to find out.
Thanks for the reply.
