    I've loved every flavor tried of Power Crunch bars. They have wafers in them and taste like a fancy candy bar, so delicious (for real, versus "it's good - for a protein bar"). They have 13g-14g protein per bar and are generally 200 cals. Very satisfying.

    Also agree with this. They suffice for dessert sometimes for me!

    I eat the Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe. 180 cals for 20gram protein. Less than a buck each when on sale or with a coupon.

    My Favorite protein bar is jerky. : )

    Think Thin bars. 240 Calories 0 surgar. I like them a lot. I have tried the peanut butter, white chocolate, brownie crunch, and espresso flavor. I'm a huge fan of anything coffee and suprisingly I don't like the espresso one. The rest are great though. I pay about $19 a box of 18 or 20 I beieve and get them at Sam's but I see them at Ingles Grocery for about $3 more.

    i would suggest finding out first if you are senstive to sugar alcohols (maltitol, xylitol, sorbitol, etc). those usually cause major problems if your body is sensitive. i found out the hard way by having the atkins ones for a while. bad idea. i have to choose the ones that have higher carbs now, but it works out becuase i don't have awful GI problems that i had with the sugar alcohol ones. just watch the ingredients! i usually buy luna or clif. high in carbs sometimes but don't cause issues.

    http://www.amazon.com/Gnu-Foods-Flavor-Chocolate-Brownie/dp/B000W0CHQI These are delicious and filling! They're pretty low in calories, so you could probably have two if you don't already have enough fibre in your diet (too much and you risk losing a bit of your vitamin intake).

    Edit: I just realised that they don't have much protein to them. but I still recommend them if you're looking for a low-sugar snack to keep you full.

    Quest bars. The Cinnamon Roll, Coconut Cashew and, their newest flavor, Banana Nut Muffin are very, very good taste-wise. Most importantly, though, they have the best nutritional profile of any bar on the market.

    The Cliff Builders peanut butter are one of my fave as well!! Have you heard of Luna Bars? They are specifically designed for women the blueberry bars are my favorite and the lemon are sooo good too, but they do also have some chocolatey flavors if that is your thing :) They average around 180 calories per bar and I keep them in my backpack while I am at school and are a great snack to keep handy! I think the cliff bars are maybe almost 300 in calories? Cant remember but both are good and I dont like protein shakes and stuff either!

    The Clif Builders run about 270 and have twice the protein of the regular Clif bars. But they don't taste quite as good and are about 50 cents more.

    Balance Bar's Lemon Meringue Crunch is close your eyes and wiggle your toes delicious.

    This. But I prefer to keep my eyes open. My favorite Balance Bar is the Cookie Dough!

    Other good choices would be Pure Protein or Simple Truth protein bars. High in protein, lower in sugar, and decent on carbs. My favorite all time protein bar would be the Clif Builder's Mint Chocolate or the Promax protein bars , but those have way too much sugar. More like a candy bar

    ETA: Think Thin bars are delicious too! Couldn't think of the name at first

    Clif Builders. Chocolate Mint or Peanut Butter.

    I have two 16 yr old boys that eat those. I buy them with mine at Sams they are $19 for a box of 18. I don't like them because they give me horrible horrible heart burn. Even the regular cliff bars that are not the " builder bars " do the same for me but it doesn't for them and they are huge fans.

    One thing though, both my boys are trying to GAIN weight and that is why they like them.

    Well... I don't know about sugar because I don't watch it myself... but I will always recommend Zone Perfect!

    Best tasting bars on the market. Most are around 200 calories and 14 or 15 g of protein. Again... I don't look at the sugar content. Sugar is NOT what makes the body store fat.

    Edited to add... I eat two a day!

    Also edited to add... I just checked and my next snack for the day 13 g of sugar... no idea how conducive that is to your sugar goal.

    They *do* taste the best! :drinker:

    I still have yet to ever see a Quest bar anywhere. And I gotta give the Pure Protein bars a thumbs down on taste. Just Eww. I will eat two cliff bars or two Zone Perfect bars instead. (Or like today, a Clif bar and a Zone Perfect)

    ... Have you heard of Luna Bars? They are specifically designed for women ...

    FVCK!!! I've been eating these. Nobody told me they were designed for women. I don't know what to do now........ but this may explain a few things.

    The Luna Protein are YUMMY! 12 gram protein and only 170 Cal's for the Cookie dough kind. I keep one in my gym bag for a quick snack between or after workouts if i'm running short on time.
