Ostrim snacks

Where do you guys get your high protein snacks such as Ostrim meat snacks, where's the best deal?  Thanks, BobM.

While I don't use that product, I looked the company up on www.netrition.com .  They do sell it there.  I strongly recommend this site to anyone.  I get Advantage protein bars, Walden Farms sugar free and fat free salad dressings and cooking sauces from them.  I also get the DaVincigourmet sugar free and fat free syrups there.  They're pricing policy is interesting:  you get an additional deduction on orders over $200;  interestingly, their computer keeps track of your purchases and still gives you that discount when your accumulated orders top $200.  They have a flat fee for shipping and handling of $4.95 regardless of the size of your order.  So, I tend to order between $75 to $125 at a time.  Don't bother requesting expedited shipping.  I can order something late is the day on Mon and I'll receive it on Tues afternoon just using the reqular shipping.  Their specialized packaging for some summer or winter deliveries do make sense and are only about $2.95 extra per order.

Bob, GNC carries Ostrim… I buy there cause I’m cheap. I have a 10% discount card and locally, my GNC is owned/operated By the same folks who have the local Kroger. The Kroger prints 20% (and once a month 30%) Discount coupons On the back of Kroger receipts. I walk in and buy those Ostrim by the box (usually 2 or 3 boxes) At 60% of retail…. Can’t beat it…. As for the "Gas Rippers?" after about 9 months out, I’ve had no excess gas issues at all. Probably less than I had Pre-Op. If I eat extra Carbs for a day, The gas comes back with a vengeance, But usually, nothing to notice at all… Best Wishes- Dx

How much salt are in those?

Love those things. Last time I was back in the states I ate a bunch of them. I'm sure they have their share of salt and I don't like to eat that much of anything that contains nitrates, but hard to get that much protein anywhere else in such a small snack.

I eat Protien Plus Bars. They are lower in Sugar & cal & higher in protien. The cheapest price I have seen is @ www.drugstore.com. Good Luck.

This is the Nut-info...

---for POWERBAR® PROTEINPLUS™ bars, I’ve found… "lower in Sugar & cal & higher in protien."? Calories- 290 Total Fat- 6gms Total Carbs- 37gms Total Protein- 23gms Sugars- 18gms Sodium- 190mgs Sounds great, but the sugars are over my "dumping threshold" of 4gms. And a good bit of calorie content- 12.6 to 1 ratio of Calories to Protein for the PBProtein+ bars, and a 5.7 to 1 ratio of Calories to protein for the Ostrim. Not "selling the Ostrim" just not able to enjoy the Protein Plus bars either...
