    Agreed on the sugar alcohol. That stuff does some damage to my system.
  • I love Quest bars' taste and their nutritional profile, however they make me insanely bloated (with pain). Especially if I eat 2... you're right I get the pregnancy effect from <400 calories. Ugh.

    Either too much fibre or the dairy in the milk and eggs??

    Do you have milk every day? Eat a lot of eggs? Maybe have a week off the dairy and see if it changes

    I also notice if I eat too much oats/fibre I can get constipated too....

    Why not try protein shakes instead post workout with water or a few oats/peanut butter etc... Or have a banana
