    Another reason to keep my diary to myself. I don't care what you eat or drink, or what kind of exercise you do or how often. If it works and is working for you...then I am here to support you. I LOVE protein bars..I eat them when I want. I have lost 40lbs and continue to lose.
    You eat the way you want - and I eat the way I want.....

    ^This. It's the same reason I keep my diary private. I don't have the time, nor desire, to monitor my pals food choices. I'm old enough to decide for myself what I want to consume. I certainly don't need someone else telling me what I should or shouldn't do. I guess an added benefit of a private diary is that I'm not causing my pals undue stress worrying about my choices. I never realized what a great friend I am!

    Yeah, that's exactly why I eat them!

    For ~200 calories, I'd rather have a Pure Protein chocolate and peanut butter bar with 20g of protein than a couple of Reese's cups with 5g.

    I wouldn't use them as meal replacements. They're just snacks.

    That's my brand of protein bar too!

    But of course.. what do we know? Filling our bodies with these dreadful processed foods. If we're not careful we're gonna get a big NOOOOOOOO!!

    Ugh...it's too early for a judgemental rant.

    When you have 3 kids, a fulltime job, and the closest family member is 5 hours away, THEN I'll discuss food choices with you.

    I am with you on this. If you can't pronounce just one of the ingredients it shouldn't go in your mouth!

    what I put in my body is MY choice, it doesn't do anything to you-other than annoy you apparently. Some people eat 100% clean, some eat 75% clean, others don't eat clean at all, to each their own

    ^This.

    If you can't pronouce a word, then why not just ask Google? That's what I do. But then, I am the type of person who enjoys learning things.

    agreed. Isn't it a bit early in the morning for judgement? You don't want some particular food because of your own personal thoughts re: good/bad foods? Don't eat it. Stop judging people by their eating habits--how does that affect you (OP) one bit? Unless someone takes a cigarette and smokes it in my face, their HEALTH HABITS ARE NONE OF MY BEESWAX.

    As for protein bars, I'm going to give em a big ol YES to fitting into my lifestyle/pre-workout needs on a regular basis.

    I eat Quest protein bars. Not sure if they are clean or not, but they are definitely not candy bars.

    No, they're HORRIBLE!! I got a few flavors because every time a topic comes up "what is a good protein/nutrition bar" it seems like there are 57 answers in a row: "quest. Quest! QUEST! Quest! Quest are the BEST!"

    I couldn't even finish chewing the first bite of the apple pie one, my husband tossed half the peanut butter/chocolate one and the chocolate brownie one was like chewing on semi-sweet chocolate rubber. Blech. What a waste of money.

    Meh. People have differing tastes. I love quest bars. There are very few flavors that I don't like. I will not however eat anything made by Hersey or Mars. A snickers? Ew.

    It's way too early in the day for this.

    Why should you care about what somebody else eats? If they want to eat a block of rat poison, let them; it's their choice.


    p.s. OP, don't ever bother sending me a FR. :huh:

    You should try Zone Perfect. They are made by the same people that make EAS protein shakes. They are soooo god. And yes... they have sugar....

    When are we going to stop putting processed foods in our bodies?
    When we start following the latest fad diet?

    ;)

    Me; I find processing makes food nicer in all sorts of ways - for instance, I don't like boiled potatoes, but I do like the same potatoes then mashed with a bit of salt, pepper and butter or similar.

    I'll eat what I want and I really don't care if it kills me.
