Protein Bars
We talk about protein shakes a lot, but not Protein Bars. I have enjoyed LABRADA Rock-N-Roll Bar. Its kind of like a payday candy bar with only 2g of sugar. For me they taste good and really fill me up for a good long time. 290 calories, 16g fat, 150 calories from fat.
I really like them when I have to grab something quick. Do any of your reccomend them or avoid them for reasons I am currently unaware of? What kind do you like?
Scott,
I've tried a few protein bars and for the most part have not cared for them as they are too sweet. The one I like is the South Beach protein bar. They are available at most grocery stores. I don't care for the SB snack bars or their meal replacement bars. The first has more carbs than its worth and the meal replacement is more than I want for a snack.
I ate the protein bars as a forenoon snack for the first few months. Now my snack of choice is 2 or 3 slices of low fat ham or turkey luncheon meat wrapped around a cheese stick. I dip it in a little mustard and it is delicious. Depending on the brand, the combination is around 20 - 25 grams of protein for around 150 - 180 calories.
May Your Lantern Burn Bright,
Paul
Scott,
some folks love 'em...
I developed "sweets aversion" from my surgery- Thank Heavens...
I prefer Beef Jerky to the protein bars if I need something
Quick and portable.
In general, I don't use much "protein supplements" at all now-a-days.
It was very important earlier on,
but now I get in enough fish and eggs and such
To cover my protein needs...
Some do swear by the daily protein bars and shakes.
Whatever works, works...
Best Wishes-
