Which do you prefer?  Have Protien powder, but not lovin it, going to try Protien Bars-Any you would recommend and from what stores do you get them?

Also what carbs/ Protien are we suppose to stay at for these bars?

I prefer protien bars. I like the Atkins bars as they are low in sugar. I get them at Wal-mart. I only have them once and a while. Try to get most of my protein from food.

Hello,

I prefer protein bars.

I use the Pure Protein (my fav: Choc/PB) or the Met-Rx (my fav: Choc carmel nut) bars.  They come in several different flavors, have a 18-20 grams of protein and less than 3 grams of sugar.

Both can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Drug stores, and some Grocery stores.

I prefer Unjury Protein powders. I can mix them with most everything, even coffee as long as the temperature does not exceed 130 degrees. I use the chicken flavor in my soups (even in chile) for extra protein boost.

I like both, but for different reasons.

If I need to physically chomp on something and need the protein, I go with a bar - actually I only like one and I order it online. It's ISS Research brand OH YEAH protein wafer bars. Chocolate Peanut Butter and the Chocolate Mint are my favorite flavors. www.allstarhealth.com has the best price on them.

If I'm needing more liquid and protein in a day, I go with a protein shake. I prefer two kinds. Champion Nutrition's Banana Scream flavor is one. (try adding a Tbsp. of PB to this...oh yum!) Or the ready-to-drink ISS Research Oh Yeah vanilla. The ready-to-drinks are spendy, but they are so much smoother and easier to drink IMO.

As with any thing low in sugar, when you're choosing either a bar or powder, just make sure there are not sugar alcohols because you could also end up in a dumping situation from those, from what I have heard.

Let us know what you find and like! Everyone's tastes are so different.
