Protein bars

where do you find good variety online? My grocery store has very few.

Check out Amazon. I bought a lot in the beginning after surgery. I only eat one once in a while now. 

Try them at home before you are out somewhere. 

I like the Quest bars. Sometimes they can be a trigger for me though. 

All Star Health rocks as my source for Syntrax powder and Quest and Oh Yeah bars. 

Netrition is a good place for bariatric friendly food in general. They have flat fee shipping of $5.99....but it works out their prices are good.

Do you have Trader Joe's, GNC, Vitamin Shop? They all have protein bars. I think Vitamin Shop has the largest selection... and as said always good to try before you commit...

I get my Premier Protein bars at Amazon.  Love the Fiber Crisp but they only have 15 grams of protein.  The have another with more protein but almost 300 calories.  I usually have a fiber crisp in my bag in case I get stuck at work with no good choices.

Low glycemic index, 20g of protein, delicious.  (but 280 cals, so a meal replacement more than a small snack)

yikes, there are 22 grams of sugar in that bar! wow

Hi,

Costco has their own which aren't terrible but the best I've tried overall is Quest.  BUT WAIT!  I got yelled at by the pros (long termers) on this site for eating a protein bar.  I listened to them and found out they were right.  They are too dense and too difficult for RNY in general.  You can cut them into 8 pieces and bake them a short while.  That way, one becomes a snack (1/8th).  Otherwise, expect to gain weight or save more for when you reach your goal!

In general agree BUT if you find yourself in a situation where there are no good food choices a high protein protein bar totally beats any fast food out there.  I always have a protein bar in my bag.

Some more portable foods :)
