What brands do you all buy? Which do you like best and why?

I love phytoberry bars because they are chewy and have some good nutrition in terms of one phytoberry servings.

I also like Quest Bars for the high fiber and low sugar but hate that they can kill a man and break teeth as they are kind of hard.

What do you all like?

    I like the Promax bars... the double chocolate fudge? YUM! I eat them as a treat though... the carbs are high, so I eat them the day before a long run. I like the consistency of them.

    Explain to me why mine are? Do you heat them or just eat as they are?

    U really want to make sure you are getting the protein but not a whole lot of other stuff you don't need like sugar, salt and fat. Alot of protein bars have a lot of sugar and sodium in them. Quest is really the best i've seen as they are all natural and don't contain alot of additives that take away from the nutrition of the bar. cliff bars have to much sugar in them. They do taste great though

    met rx chocolate chocolate chunk is my favorite - 310 calories, 32g protein, and only 1 gram sugar.

    I love love love the Premium Protein bars from Costco. They taste delicious. They have 30g protein..8g sugar..23g carbs..kinda high calorie at 280. But they are filling and packed with protein.

    They are perfect for an on the go meal. Highly recommend. Hefty protein.

    This would be good fuel for your endurance runs or have one after your endurance runs.

    I LOVE the Special K Protein Meal Bar in the chocolate peanut butter flavor. So delicious and chewy. Makes me full for few hours.

    If you microwave the quest bars they are so soft and delicious.

    I make my own to save money and so they are full of less junk

    I love Luna bars! My favorites are Nutz over Chocolate, Choc Peppermint Stick, Choc coconut, & Lemon. They taste so good, just the right amount of chewiness, and keep me full enough to an early lunch on days that I can't eat a real breakfast. I want one right now...
