I was wondering why they said "No protein bars after surgery." I guess I know why now! I almost bought one yesterday too!

There is sugar in Powercrunch bars, and it's in a lot of other bars too. It makes me feel the same way, Icky! I find that Quest bars, sold at GNC and now popping up in other places as well, are the best! No sugar, low carb and great taste! Sorry you are feeling icky!

Buy snack size Ziploc baggies and do hunks of protein bars if they are a convenient source of protein or snack for you... most are too much for us to handle in one sitting. Power Crunch are easy to eat... wafer like quick to down unlike denser Quest type bars. I chop them into pieces and 2 hunks is my limit. 

Those Salted Caramel ones are tasty but seemed particularly sweet to me too... I don't have one on hand to look or compare to another PC bar but taste wise much sweeter than their other flavors... maybe the "salt" of the salted caramel brings that out. 

If you like Quest Bars... try making these cookies out of them http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2015/07/quest -protein-bar-cookies.html perfect portions you get 8 cookies from a bar. 2 cookies are great for me enough sweet when I'm looking for something and a nice snack with a cheese stick or hard cooked egg.

I tried the same bar and was nauseous for hours afterwards. I stick to Quest bars.

I personally have a problem with eating meats. For some reason my pouch does not tolerate them. For lunch every day I have a Quest bar and a reduced fat string cheese with no problems.
