    QUEST bars for sure!!!!

    More natural than all the others, no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no sugar alcohols, low carb (3-6 net/non-fiber carbs per bar mostly from nuts), no soy protein, gluten free, and depending on what flavor range from 150-240 calories each.

    Very tasty!!! My fav is Apple Pie, sooo yummy with 20g protein, 170 calories, 3g sugar, 18g fiber, and only 6 non fiber carbs.

    I find these pretty easy where I live, at The Vitamin Shoppe, and other stores like that. Not at GNC yet.

    GNC definitely carries them... I have been to several GNC locations and they've all had a variety of the Quest bars.

    I picked up a box of Detour lower sugar protein bars at Costco last week. They're 170 calories each, 15g protein. And they're pretty tasty.

    Add me for the Quest bars too! So many other kinds have a ton of sugar in them so if that's something you are trying to be careful of than you might want to look. A lot of them taste good (Luna bars) but from a "good for you" perspective, I think Quest has it.

    Sugar content is usually astronomical - make your own - Google Jamie Eason's protein bars.

    Sounds like what you really want is protein powder. Any bar is going to pack on a significant amount of carb calories with the protein, by their very nature.

    i like powerbar protein plus.

    they recently reinvented it apparently though, it used to be 300 calories and 50 from fat, now its 210 caloires and 55 from fat.

    it tastes a lot better though. most of the ones that taste decent have a lot of fat. i guess i perfer that over carbs right now.

    the only thing i really don't like about them is all the artifical ingredients. if your looking for all natural, the cliff bar is the only one i know of.

    They taste like cookie dough without the guilt and they were recently named among Runner's World Magazine's "10 Best Recovery Bars".
