Atkins bars for snacks?
I absolutely LOVE the Pure Protein bars! They have a huge variety of flavors and my favorites are S'mores and Peanut Butter Caramel Surprise. They range from 28-32 grams of protein for a bar that's 78grams in size and i NEVER eat a whole bar at once because it's just to much for me, i generally eat half a bar after my workout in the afternoon and occasionally i'll eat half a bar in the morning.
If you eat a whole bar it is high in calories, s'mores for example is 280 for an entire bar with 8 grams of fat so that's a bit much, it's also got 3g of sugar and 18g of sugar alcohol so if you're sensitive to sugar alcohols you may want to take it slowly if you're trying them out. I myself when sticking with half a bar have never had any issues with any of the flavors. I try my best to get in my daily protein but i struggle with it and so i supplement with the Pure Protein bars and occasional Unjury protein shakes. It's not for everyone but i'm finding a balance i can work with. I too live in a very small...we have a walmart and an albertsons and that's it...town. I order alot of things off line through Amazon and depending on what you order you can qualify for free shipping on some things.
In any case i just wanted to chime in on this discussion because i really like how the Pure Protein bars have worked out for me! good luck to everyone!

Some of them have a lot of sugar alcohols. I can't use them. And they are a very dense food snack option.
Next time - try just 1/2 of one. Or try to see if they would take it back. Walmart is good at taking back product that does not agree with you.
