    My favorite are the Think Thin bars, especially the Creamy Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate flavors. They have 20g of protein, 26g of carb and 0g of sugar (because it is sweetened with sugar alcohols), and are gluten free. They are not as "clean" as eating whole foods, but for exercise nutrition and eating on the go, they are a good alternative.
    LOVE THINK THIN. Like a candy bar. Yummm!

    these protein bars appear to contain up to 12g of fat? is this normal? Im worried i may start gaining if i have one for breakfats every morning?

    You won't...

    And Pure Protein bars have ~6grams of fat

    When you put all the 'numbers' up side by side (and for taste) Pure Protein bar is the clear winner....

    I personally love PowerCrunch Bars 13g protein. They are like sugar wafers I ate as a kid. Tastes like I am sinning. Got my at GNC but found cheaper at Vitacost dot com.
