Hi All,

Atkins bars in the UK are about £1.50 each - a very expensive snack! Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?

Thanks!

Susan

    In the states, a lot of store brands have the same nutritional content. I shop at a store chain called Meijer, and they have their own store brand varieties that are pretty tasty, and quite a bit cheaper. Other than that, you could order directly from Atkins.com. That knocks the price down, purchasing in bulk. I have tried to just do away with them all together though- I seem to do better on my weight loss if I avoid the fake sweets. Now I only eat them when I'm ragingly pre-menstrual and in danger if killing someone for a chocolate fix.

    Nature Valley Protein Chewy bar Peanut, almond & Dark Chocolate calories 190, sodium 180mg, carb 14, fiber 5g, protein 10g. Helps with my cravings for something sweet & salty. Protein keeps me full.

    Have you tried Quest bars? They are pretty good. I don't know if you have them in the UK or if you could order them on the internet.

    I've seen their bars in nutrition/sports/vitamin stores.

    Natural Valley bars? But they have so much sugar and corn syrup. I would try to avoid that. Don't want to get my carbs from those sources.

    I don't see nutrition data on their site. I buy mine from http://www/netrition.com
    They have nutrition data easy to display for everything.

    QUEST BARS!!! they are amazing in many ways and
    1. They are soley fiber and protein
    2. They don't load them w sugar alcohols like Atkins products
    3. They fill u up and don't cause cravings
    4. They are delicious
    5. They don't raise bs ( I've tested myself)
    ( I'm in love with these bars I have half of one every day)
