Protein bars
They're my new best friend. I've tried the adkins advantage carmel (3 different flavors in the box and 11-12 g of protein) and now the south beach diet living meal bars (2 flavors and 19 g of protein). I would so much rather eat these than actually cook such a small amount of meat. Is this such a bad thing? I know I'll keep tired of them after awhile, but for now they're perfect. I'm making sure to keep one in my purse of it things get hectic and I can't make it home for dinner I'm set.
Think! Brand protein bars and Luna bars are good too.
You are always better getting your protein from food instead of a suppliment. IMO protein bars are good in a pinch but not a substitute for protein nutrition. Just make sure you keep working on eating as well :-)

I agree - protein bars are great for me when I travel with my daughters hockey team. but there are really just a snack for me. The carbs can be high, so be careful. Also try and keep the sugars on those below 6. I too eat the adkinds advantage sometimes.
Anyone ever tried
