I'm looking for a good protein bar with the best protein/carb ratio. Can I get suggestions?

    Quest because you can get 20 grams of protein for less than 200 calories depending on the flavor.

    Quest by far... most tasty, all-natural bar I've found. No sugar, hi protein, hi fiber, lo carb. Delish, and I can't say that about many protein bars! Best flavors (in my book) coconut cashew, cookie dough, cinnamon bun!

    Those are my favorite flavors too! I wish there was a company that made something other than sweet flavored protein bars. Since the surgery, I have kind of lost my taste for sweet things. If they can make a protein bar that tastes like cookie dough, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to make a protein bar that tastes like bacon or pizza :-)

    PowerCrunch bars are awesome... light and airy whereas most protein bars sit really heavy with me. about 200 calories, 14g protein, 10g carbs. Vanilla is heaven :) - they taste like vanilla sugar wafers

    I usually order mine online from GNC when they have a 30% off sale. If you sign up for their emails you would be notified when they have 30% off.

    It's the only thing I buy from GNC, but you can find them every once in while at other stores on sale. I try to get them for a dollar or less, and I buy a lot at a time.

    If they get hard put them in the microwave, but make sure you take the wrapper off before nuking.

    At what point can you eat this protein bars?

    Right after you transition to solid foods. About 2 to 3 weeks. before that your protein suppliment comes from Shakes, powders and drinks.

    I have found a few really good bars: Quest comes in a 170 calorie bar with nice protein levels. Pure Protein Plus and Met-Rx get you 29-30g protein with between 290 and 390 calories depending on flavor. Kliff Bars have a little more fat/carb content but deliver sustained energy when you really start working out. I am adding them in now as an occasional pre-workout energy bar since my "eat back" calories are really starting to add up and I need the energy to work out.
