Atkins bar say candy on the box

I purchased some Atkins bars, because I am working on eating enough protein. And both boxes say CANDY on them, and one of then has only 2 grams of protein. I think I will make better choices for bars in the future.

 

Reading labels is sooo important.  I found some protein bars (Healthsmart Chocolite brand) on netrition.com that only have 95 calories, only 3 net carbs, a boatload of fiber, and I can't remember the protein, but it was pretty decent (maybe 12 if I remember right).  I got the cookies & cream flavor.  They do have quite a bit of sugar alcohols, so if you are sensitive to that, they may not be a good choice.  They do make my tummy do some rumbling - but then again, so does EVERYTHING.  I've not had any digestive issues from them.

I also really really really like the Pure Protein Double Chocolate Vanilla Crunch bars, but they seem to be a favorite and hard to find.  I did find them at Target and was able to buy 6 boxes.

 Yum on the "CANDY" but 2 grams of protein sucks!!!  I suppose they don't have nuts in them.  Any coconut !  Reminds me  I need some jars of peanut butter for work.  I loves me some peanut butter.  PB and coffee just like "candy".  Yeah, I measure my 2 teaspoons a day but I am like an addict for my PB.

 

Hey enjoy these Candies just make sure you get your protein elsewhere.

 

That's funny.  I see why they would be marked candy - because who would have ever thought "candy"  when your intent is buying a healthy brand.

 

All Best,

Yeah I'm at the point where I don't trust any if the scribble on the box or otherwise. Always better to make our own treats and know exactly what's in it.

There are multiple types of Atkiins bars.  Some have 15-17 grams of protein and those are the only ones I buy.
