I've tried a LOT of them and my fave is Detour low sugar.  You can get them at wal mart in the vitamin aisle, and I know they have them at GNC too.  Make sure they say low sugar.  You get 15g. protein with only like 2g. sugar. They taste kinda like snickers. Also, another of my fav is in walmart in the cereal aisle sold singally is something called "simply thing, (or something similar)  they're in a plain brown wrapper with just the words written on it...you get about 15g. and no sugar.....I like the brownie ones.  Another healthy choice I get everynow and then is the South Beach diet MEAL bars, not the snack.......they have more protein than the others with like 2-3 g. sugar.   You gotta' kinda check around,,,,everyone's different.

I just found a protien bar that I really like it is called MetRX Plus. There is 32 grams of protien and 1 gram of sugar. I have been having a hard time with the protien skakes in the mrning so I was told about this bar. I found them at HT and I know walmart sells them. You can also buy them of Amazon. The 3oz bars are huge so I usally have half in the morning with my coffee and the other half a night before bed.So far no sick feeling after eatting them.                                                      Annie

I like the Detour bars also!   I've tried a lot of different types and they have the best taste to me.  I get them at Wal-mart.

I like the Detour, some of the Atkin's, but my FAVORITE ones are the Power Crunch bars.  I get them at Vitamin World.

I like the "Oh Yeah" bars, particularly the Chocolate Mint ones.  I have a lot of problem with sugar alcohols, so I have to be very careful about protein bars.  Take the ones with high sugar alcohol levels slowly til you know how you'll react to it.  I dump like no body's business if I eat something with too much in it. Good luck. Ellen

Detour low-sugar and Oh yeah are my favorite. I wish they all came in more of a variety than chocolate but if I get that yucky sweet feeling coming on, I just stop and save the rest for later.

These may be a little dense for you just starting out. I started with the high protein south beach bars and they were very tolerable.

I like the Power Crunch bars.  They are not as heavy as regulary protien bars and are cripsy with a decently good taste.  :)  The only place I have found them is @ The Vitamin Shoppe in Matthews.

I like Atkins and Detour.  I get mine at Wal-Mart.  I also found one at  HT called Power Bar and they have never had it again except in a higher carb count.  It was delicious.  I keep hunting for it.

I don't mind Detour low-sugar, but find them to be rather dense,  I recently tried SlimFast bars and they are lighter and crunchier.  Have 15 grams of protein and are also WAY cheaper! Tell me more about those "Oh Yeah" bars?  Where do you get them?
