Protein bars

Im going to get some protein bars to have after workouts. How much protien should be in the bar to make it worth while?

15 to 24 g are in the ones I eat from time to time. I do protein shakes more than the bars.

depends

but I like to look for ones with AT LEAST 15 grams of protein.. sometimes 10 grams are okay (for me personally, I want MORE PROTEIN!!) hahaha!

I love some Power LS (low sugar) ones that are 23+ grams of protein which are AMAZING

Eh protein bars are glorified candy bars IMO

I would go for a shake instead :]

At least 15g to make it worthwhile. There are some really good ones around 20g protein. I do a protein shake a lot too, I use Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein and it tastes a lot like a chocolate shake but has 26g protein with only 140 calories.

I use protein bars when I am really in a crunch and know I won't be able to find anything better. Long plane flight etc. Though you could make your own protein cookies. Much less money and much less sugar/carbs.

shakes are the way to go, try body fortress whey isolate, it's from walmart and only costs 15 bucks but it's a good grade of whey protein and taste very good

6-32g? It varies. Read some labels and compare, but here are some other things:

The ones lower on the protein end may have more carbs (from sugars, again check label to be sure) compared to the higher end; these also seem to be marketed to the general populace, like Luna bars, Clif bars and the like. Odds are they taste much better compared to bars 20g and higher. Very trial and error here in terms of taste, I suggest grabbing a couple from a grocery or specialty vitamin store before shelling out for a box of anything. Beware of high protein bars that are actually MRPs or meal replacement protein bars because they'll have a high caloric content, ex: Big 100 bars. These are usually marketed to people who are trying to bulk.

Great in a pinch for when you don't have water or milk on hand for a shake, the catch is that you really should drink lots of water with the protein bar. Heck, the higher protein ones are typically very concentrated, you'll be downing water without having to remember. That said, once you get used to consuming protein shakes and bars, you tend to gain some tolerance for the taste along the way... or you can just make your own.

Thinkthin bars are really good and low in sugar and high in protein.
