PROTEIN BARS....

For the most part Im doing okay with getting in the protein.. But, non and then (today) it's a bit of a challenge. I dont try this until I see my doctor in on 6th but, someone suggested protein bars and I have seen them discusses on here.. Anyone use protein bars?? What brand would you recommend?? I have tried them in the past.. But, had a hard time liking them..  I just want to know if there's one out there that is HIGH PROTEIN that fits in with this diet..

I'm not supposed to use protein bars on my program but I do keep a couple stashed around, like in the car for when I'm out and it's meal time and I have no other options. The problem is finding one that is low enough in sugar so that I don't dump on it. There is one I found called Slim that has 0 sugar but has plenty of sugar alcohols which cause some people problems. I can only eat 1/2 of it before I feel really bloated. Most of them have a vitamin taste or taste like soy which I don't like. I've been told the best thing is to get your protein from real, natural food. I try to stay away from anything processed.

Ha.... I keep hearing from the Doctor and the dietitian to STAY AWAY from the SUGAR ALCOHOLS... Thats one of the things they seam to stress.  Every one I have found contains them,,, thats why I have been afraid to try them.... But, thanks for the suggestion...  After I talk to the doctor I might try that one... The only one I tried was MONTHS ago before surgery and I sware it was RUBBER covered in a Chocoate like coating.. AWFUL.

Pure Protein is pretty decent.  I'll have half of one in a pinch.
Definitely watch for the sugar alcohols.  I don't do well with them at all.  I can clear a room...if you get my meaning.

I generally don't like protein bars. I think they taste bad, and I would rather get my protein from food. That being said, I occasionally find I need to use them to get through the day, and I recently found these Chocolite protein bars. With the exception of the strawberry flavor, they are really good. 9g of protein for a 100 calorie bar, not bad.

Ahhhhh, Thats how I feel about them.... But, they seam to be a good back up plan just in case Im in a jam and REALLY HUNGRY or low on energy... But, I honestly never found one that I liked.
Thanks for your recommendation I'll look for those.
