Protein Bars
Try Worldwide Pure Protein bars. They come in 2 sizes. Get the ones that come 6 to a box and have 180-190 cal/bar. They have amny flavors and are all good. I get them on line. Google to find the lowest price. I like them best cold from the refrigerator as they give me more resistance when bitten and feel more satisfying when I have to "work" to eat them.
My rule for protein bars is this:
* there must be more grams of protein than carbs
* there must be less than 10g of sugar
* there must be no more than 200 calories per bar
There are so many "protein bars" that are more like candy bars than anything resembling healthy food. I am very careful with picking a protein bar to make sure I'm staying within my nutritionist's plan. Here are a couple that I like:
* South Beach Protein Bar --- 140 caloires, 11g net carbs, 10g protein
* Pure Protein Bars --- 190 calories, 18g carbs, 20g protein
* Zone Perfect Snack Size Protein Bar --- 80 calories, 9g carbs, 5g protein
(The Zone bar is a purse snack for me and I only eat it when I'm out and about and need food and there are no other options. It's an emergency snack only.)
My Recipe Index is packed full of yumminess!

I am a huge fan of the SmartForme Protein Bars, in particular the Cinnamon Pecan Dream and Chocolate Peanut. They are a treat for me...one that I have zero guilt about.

Velda - the Pure Protein bars have only 2grams sugars, don't think you'll find any less than that. I get mine at Walmart and they're only about $1 each.
