    I like Ideal bars by ideal shape. One of those and a piece of fruit and I'm good. One of the best tasting bars I've ever tried.

    I'm going to have to agree with those that mentioned Quest and Pure Protein. I love them both.

    Larabar are also pretty good. Very few ingredients ( most are under 5 and closer to 3) The Blueberry Muffin tastes just like a real muffin, and actually contains no wheat products.

    I recently bought a variety to try because our grocery store had them on sale 10 for 10- so they were only $1 each. I really, really liked the White Chocolate Macadamia and Peanut Butter Crunch by Clif bars, and I really liked the Luna bars as well. The Luna ones were lower in calories but I use the Clif bars to replace my breakfast or lunch entirely so I didn't mind the higher (250) calorie count, and the Clif bars really, really filled me up. Like I was stuffed as though I'd eaten a big meal. The Luna bars, while they did sustain me, weren't quite as filling to me.

    I do Think Thin bars. They're 200- 240 calories depending on the kind you get and they have 20g of protein in each. :D

    I also enjoy Think Thin bars. Not all are 20g protein each, but good selection are. Run just under $2 a bar generally, I can get them from Sam's Club for $1.75/bar (case of 15?) I also like Atkins bars, have to check which ones have high protein.

    For premade liquid protein drinks, I go with Ensure High Protein Drink. As long as it's COLD, it really isn't bad. (25g protein). I like to pair it with veggies or fruit for more substance.

    I'm not sure where you are located but some of the generic bars are not bad either. Zone is good, so is Balance. I found that Martins has a huge sale right now on most all of the protein bars right now by the way. I'm in the Richmond VA area, Martin's is a chain like Kroger so you may be able to find them I got their brand of protein bars and they compared with your numbers pretty closely.

    I've only seen one person mention Cliff Bars. I don't use them for meal replacement but as a mid-morn or mid-afternoon snack. Yes, they have more calories but looking at the label, I feel better about the ingredient list than with some others. I also don't have them every day. Costco sells these in bulk and that's the only way I buy them.

    Marathon Protein bars By "Snickers" Chocoiatcy nut burst

    21g Protein
    280 Cals
    Very Good!

    I eat these with 1.5 cups of skim milk for lunch at work.

    1/2 of a bar can be satisfying too.

    I like the CLIF bars, the coconut chocolate chip ones are good. They remind me of Samoyas girl scout cookies....YUM! You can buy them at Wal Mart. I like the Fiber One bars too....but my husband hates when I eat them! LOL
