Question:
Does anyone have a suggestion for good tasting protein bars?

Ultimate LoCarb2 bar... Coconut Almond. Doctors Diet...S'mores. Complete
Protein Diet Bar... Toasted Coconut. All are really delicious. At 6 months
post op they taste like candy bars to me. The entire family loves them in
fact.

Forgot to say that you need to make sure you are looking in the LOW CARB
section of the bar aisle. There are so many bars... but only a handful have
less than 4 carbs a bar. You have to make sure it is sugar free... same
with the protein drinks... low carb, sugar free.

I tried Carb Solutions .I paid $15.99 for a box of 12 at Sams club. They
are great ! only 2 carbs with 24grms. protein.There were three
flavors.choco.almond fudge(yummy)
choco.toffee hazelnut and a peanut butter choco. flavor. It was like eating
a candy bar...heavenly. I tried Atkins and almost puked !! I paid a lot
more for them and couldn't eat them. They smelled awful and tasted just as
bad.

I agree with Connie, of all the protein bars I've found carb solution less
chalky and weird tasting of the bunch. Metaplex(sp?) is gross they are
thick and heavy. That's my opinion but I've found carb solution the most
satisfactory. There might be others that might taste more like candy but
for the best LOW CARB FOR YOUR BUCK, I'd choice them and they are generally
lower in sodium the most too if that matters.

Amy - I couldn't tell which surgery you had, so my favorite may not work
for you. I like the SportPharma ProMax bars because of their yummy flavors
(Oreo cookie, Honey Peanut, Blueberry cheesecake, Apple pie). But, they do
come with a hefty carb and sugar wallop. I keep them at work and in my
briefcase for those times when I can't get to another protein source.

I tried an excellent protein bar yesterday. It's made by a company called
EAS, and it was Lemon Cheesecake flavor. YUM! It has 26 grams of protein.
I can't remember the exact carb. content, but I do remember it was
extremely low, and there was only one gram of sugar.

Another great bar is The Zone bars. They are really delicious but may be a
little high in carbs depending on what your limit is but once in a while
they shouldn't hurt.
