Hey my lovely MFP'ers:

Sometimes I carry bars with me. i used to eat Fiber One bars; now I am eating Clif bars ... i try to choose ones that have at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.

Which ones do you eat?

Also are their bars that you should not eat that have too much sodium/sugars that we should watch out for.

I normally try to carry bars in my purse, bag and when i am on the go (i often have to work late or have community events and rather drink some water with a power bar ) to ward off unhealthier options.

Thanks again!

Pam

P.S. i think I'm near my 10% goal with WW -- 237 pds.

    I love Luna bars because they are made specifically for women. And they're super tasty.

    luna bars are pretty good but don't pack much protein. i love the peppermint ones, they taste like thin mints.


    i usually skip the bars now. too expensive.

    a post put the thread back at the top of "recent posts"
    so a bump post keeps people talking in a thread by bumping it back to the top

    I get the Pure Protein bars that only have 2g sugar. or Doctor's Carbrite Diet that has no sugar. The Carbrite cinnamon bun bars are delicious but difficult to find.

    I have a pure protein in my bag now. I was passing a store and saw it. I haven't eaten it yet. I haven't tried Luna but I've seen them too.

    Thank you all for your responses!

    i just started eating the Pure Protein Bars that someone in he Kroger store recommended to me and they were
    only $1.00 each or they also have a box of them. I hae started out with the Chocolate Peanut Butter one's. What other flavors taste good made by Pure Protein??

    Ive never tried the Luna Bars, Are they tasty?? I won't try any of the bars until I get reviews from other ppl that eat them cause I don't
    want to waste my money on a bar that tastes like crap.

    What flavor Luna bars taste the best and are good for you??

    Thanks

    I really like the taste of Clif Bars and they now come in "mini" sizes at only 100 calories per bar. Great for my 3pm snack.

    Tizzz, all the luna bars are fabulous. I love the Nutz over Chocolate, The Caramel Brownie, The Lemon Zest, and the newest, Chocolate Coconut. The Peanut Butter Cookie one is AWESOME too! :o)

    Pure Protein (50g). I go through one or two of these a day. I love the chocolate deluxe one.

    I like the CarbRite S'mores and Cinnamon Bun. Wegmans used to carry them but I guess CarbRite had a product recall and they had to remove them all temporarily. Bummer. I like to keep them for hiking.

    I've tried most of the protein bars out there, and the Power Crunch bars win for taste hands down! I swear, they taste just like those wafer cookies (you know, the ones that came in the pack with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry) we ate as kids. I've only had the vanilla so far, but they are awesome!

    Power bars are my usual go to. Triple threat energy or natural harvest are my two favs.

    I also have 90 cal fiber ones in a pinch when I am out of other bars.

    Ok I just tried my 1st Luna Bar, Chocolate Peppermint Stick and they are not too bad, Not sure what the crunch is thats
    in them. I think I like the Pure Protein Bars better. I want to try different Bars to see which I like the most.
