protein bars

OK everyone - which one of these babies do you prefer? I stood there and read at least 20 labels last night and got ticked off and left with 1...

I am finding lately that I have to have an "emergency" snack with me at all time that has carbs because of the pregnancy. The one I have, it's a detour bar with peanuts - it's OK but nothing great.

Thanks all!

I just bought a bunch of Atkins bars to try.  I think most have 1 gram of sugar and 10 or more grams of protein.  Carbs vary I think.  I've only had one so far, and it was decent.  I think it was caramel double chocolate, or something like that. 

Have you tried the Supreme bars?  I loved them before surgery but not so much now.  They're good, but my tastes have changed.

I've heard the Oh Yeah bars are good.  Picked some up but haven't tried them yet.

Rockin' Roll nut bars are good too.  They remind me of a Payday candy bar.

Good luck finding a bar you like, Liz! 

Liz,

  I use EAS protien bars they have double chocolate and peanut butter. I will bring you a few of each to try. I stock up when they have coupons out,

Supreme Carb-Conscious bars all the way, baby!!!  Rocky road brownie is my current fave, but the peanut butter is a close second.  And the new cookies and cream one is good too.  I get the little 1.5 - 1.8 oz bars (but if you get the larger ones just have half). 

Labrada's Rock N Roll bar is also really good - no chocolate, just nuts and caramel.  It's a larger bar, so i usually just have half.

They've got 'em at Barix by the box and by the individual bar, and i'll be going in the next few days because I'm out of protein powder, so let me know if you want me to pick you up some!

Karen cookies and cream now my ears are up at the Barix clinic?  Am I reading this right?  If so I am picking some up on saturday!  If not what is the brand and where do I get them?

They had a couple of boxes of the cookies and cream at Barix last time I was there.  It's a new flavor, and Helene said they were requesting more of them.  I also foudn them at Wegmans (individual bars) and at my health club (Cornerstone Doylestown).  They're Supreme carb conscious bars, just like the others.

I shall check into it on saturday when I go to the meeting thanks so much.

Supreme Caramel Nut Chocolate bars 15 g protein, tastes like a 10,000 Grand candy bar, you can get them in GNC (I have a gold card and beginning of each month you get 20% and sometimes free shipping), they also have them in most WaWa's. . . 

I'm a big fan of the Atkins bars myself - 3 of my favs are:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar - 18 g protein; 1 g sugar; 2 g net carbs
Caramel Chocolate Peanut Nougat Bar - 10 g program; 1 g sugar; 3 g net carbs
Cranberry Almond Bar - 10 g protein; 1 g sugar; 2 g net carbs

They also make a small one that tastes like the 100,000 Grand candy bar - I tend to stay away from them only because they do taste so much like a candy bar!

A lot of the other ones they mentioned have too much sugar for me, unfortunately.

THanks ladies! I am going to make a list and try them all :) I figure too it is a healthier way to get the sweets it - that's all this baby wants! I could totally do without eating meat, of course I won't do that but I could... that's so not me! Pre-pregnancy meat was what I wanted most!
