I always seem to be a little low on protein. I would like some ideas for a healthy protein bar that I could use for snacks, if that is possible. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    beef, turkey, or pork jerky. And boiled eggs are easy. Protein bars are frequently loaded with sugar or sugar substitutes and other garbage.

    Pure Protein bars...each bar contains 18-32g of protein (depending on what size bar you get), and has less than 4g of sugar. Not bad tasting at all

    There was a good thread a bit ago where someone compared all the bars....I wish i could remember the name of it for you, because it would probably help!!

    Quest Bars. :)

    Forgot to mention, they aren't covered in chocolate they are a pressed bar. They are all 170-210 calories.

    have about 18 grams fiber in each one.

    20 grams of WHEY/Milk protien. (no soy or other crap)

    no artificial sweeteners, no oils. They are low in carbs as well.

    Oh... and they taste REALLY good. I like the strawberry cheesecake, coconut cashew, PB&J, and apple pie ones.

    Greek Yogurt Plain Nonfat then add your own fruit if you desire a bit more flavor

    Another thing, look into protein shakes. Less added sugar, etc.

    If your looking for something not to expensive then Nature Valley has a protein bar it's peanut butter & chocolate and it's delicious. It has 10 grams of protein.

    Yup. They appear to be the best ones I've ever found. They have some really good flavors too.

    AWESOME low sugar, high protein bars. Dangerously delicious though. Homemade bars.

    However, yes, there are many food options for protein as others have related. Alas, you asked about bars.

    For a commercial bar - I like Clif Builders bars. 20 g protein. I usually will eat half with some nut butter.

    I bought 5 different kinds the other day to try to start a comparison b/c there are so damn many of them out there and I had NEVER even tried one until that day. So far I have only tried 1 - Pure Protein Bar (really good) - I can't remember all of the numbers but the protein was 21g I believe w/about 16g of carbs - 0 sugar. They were on sale for .79cents - so for the price and they are filling too, these are really good but I have yet to try the ClifBar, Kroger Brand - Simple Truth - These have more protein & less carbs than the others but I am not sure about the taste yet but will update later on.

    Not sure if this helped or not but that is what you might want to try - Find them on sale for less than $1 and just buy all different brands/flavors and compare for yourself b/c I might like something that you find disgusting. It's worth a try if you find some you like.

    Best of luck!! :happy:

    ETA: I just read above what HarlenJen said about the sixpacknutritionshack.com bars and from what I have heard they are beyond delicious and I am planning on ordering some soon myself. Just wanted to add that in there. lol

    Clif Bars are good but I've been told Met-RX are better, just that it's a ton of protein and calories so it's best to split it in half (and if you can't keep to eating half, go with Clif)

    Make your own!

    I have and there are tons of Youtube's explaining how. It's easy, cheaper and you can tweak the values & ingredients to what you want/like/need. (IE: in my case, high protein, low carb, no gluten or lactose, decent calories so it could be a meal replacement).

    My recipe is in my blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/sammniamii/view/my-protein-bars-432076
