Do y'all eat protein bars? What are you favorite kinds? I'm curious because I know pretty much everyone I've ever seen has more sugar than it does protein and that ain't cool.

    I have a luna protein bar in a pinch - they are 12 grams of protein and 13 grams of sugar. They taste....ok. mint chocolate and cookie dough are hte best, the plain chocolate is not very good. I prefer to eat real food but these are a handy snack.

    i eat a couple of the atkins range bars, purely because my workmate is on the atkins diet and buys them in bulk. I have a massive sweet tooth and seeing as sugar is translated into carbs im assuming the atkins bars are lower in sugar than other bars on the market. i have to admit i haven't looked at the sugar content though lol
    If they are not they are yummy and less calories than a chocolate bar so im all for them:smile:
    the two i eat are like a picnic bar and a snickers bar

    I eat the Slim Fast meal bars and Luna protein bars for my lunches. They help me feel full for a while (until I want a snack later in the day) and are fairly healthy. :)

    I like the detour brand, most flavors have 3-5 grams of sugar w/ 30 grams protein. I have also tried the muscletech nitro-tech hardcore bar. It has only 1 gram of sugar w/ 30 grams protein but doesn't taste as well.

    I just got done with a Supreme Protein carb conscious caramel chocolate nut bar (tastes like a snickers if you ask me). I like this brand, but also enjoy pure protein, power crunch, and elite gourmet-i haven't foind one with more than 9g sugar (the one i just had was 96g and only had 4 g sugar-LOVE IT)

    I just hold it to a rule-if it's got more than 9 g of sugar it's candy. Then i buy a few indivudual bars to see which flavors/brands i like the best before i buy a box.

    I eat zone bars when I need to hurry out the door in the morning. Very tasty.

    My main ones are medifast. Very expensive but very worth it. I also have an atkins now and then. The advantage and daybreak aren't to bad sugarwise, but can be highish in fat. The hazelnut is very good, Sam's club is so evil:) For my kids I get chocolite protein bars - 95-100 calories,6fat/9gr prot /1gr sugar , Detour lean muscle protein bars - 32g prot/2g sugar/9gr fat - 190cals and various atkins.
