Has anyone tried Quest bars....they are supposed to have 20gr protein, 2 or 4 "active carbs"??,no sugar alcohol,and a lot more other good things about the product. Is this too good to be true type thing, or if you have tried them, how is the taste? Thanks for any info.

I have been using Quest bars for about 6 months. I love them!! they taste great. The flavors I like best are the Chocolate Brownie, Almond and Peanut Butter. I eat one a day. They have a sample pack of 5 different flavors. That is how is styarted using them. If you heat the chocolate one for about 15 seconds in the microwave they taste like a real brownie.

Hope you enjoy as much as I do. They have some new flavors out, but I don't think they are as low in carbs.

They are low in net carbs = total carbs - fiber.
Since we do not absrb fiber - it is mostly bulking agent - so most people do not count them as "real carbs"..Fiber - Most of that will not get absorb - so the body will not be able to use that for energy.
Fiber will not increase blood sugar level, and it may actually contribute to normalizing blood sugar,
