Which protein bars are the best for losing weight?

I eat a protein bar every morning before I work out. I have switched to a few different ones that have less sugar. Thats mainly what I check on the nutrition facts..the sugar. The ones I have now are called "Pure Protein, Eat good, look good" They have between 180-200 calries, 2 grams of sugar, and 6 grams of fat.
Does any one know of any that are healthier than that or have worked well? thanks!
I also had seen some that said 0 grams of sugar, but below that it said 11 grams of sugar alcohol... Im not sure what that means

i'm not so sure about protein bars, but i do know that KIND bars and LUNA bars do have a good reputation.
it's best to avoid conventional protein/energy bars, such as Quaker's granola bars and Nature valley - they're just candy in disguise.
just watch out for the carbohydrates to protein ratio.
the sugar should not be crazy high - the protein should also be reasonable. too much is never good.
there are also recipes for vegan granola bars that i've heard work really well.0 -
My sister just started using the pure protein ones, they look okay. We also like the luna brand bars, but I try and have something else with them like some fruit if I have time.0

Aren't sugar alcohols fairly ok to consume, compared to real sugar?0

I do like Pure Protein, however, I heard "Quest" bars tastes pretty good, and has less BS in the ingredients than most. Haven't personally tried it yet though, plan on picking up a few tomorrow.0

I've read several posts where people talk about liking those Quest
bars.
They say they're pricey, but does anyone know where to buy some?
I haven't seen them at Publix or Wal-Mart and those are the main stores
'round these here parts!0 -

I buy my Quest bars at GNC. These are the best I have found (best tasting, reasonable calories, nice protein level, nice fiber level). I also like Detour bars (the low sugar version).0

I just bought a few quest bars today. Tasty low in sugar. I bought them at a store like gnc in my area. 1.99 so a bit pricy... about 160 cals0

As long as they are within your calorie allotment, they should be ok... Also, the shakes provide excellent protein load post workout. I like the core-power shakes == the light ones are like 20 mg protein @ 150 cals.0

Take a look at Cliff Builder Bars, 20 protein, and I believe they are pretty close to 40/30/30 @ 270 calories for the one I eat.0

The tastiest one with the most protein for the calories. .. but they're not for losing weight, they're for meeting your protein macro.
Lose weight= calorie deficit.
You can do that without them. I mean, if you're busy and on the go, they're a great way to fulfill that protein hole. Also, wth is up with all this no sugar jazz. Sugar=love0 -

The protein bar that makes you lose the most weight is the one you don't eat actually

Sugar is fairly OK to consume.

Remember protein helps keep you full so look for the ones with higher protein. Honestly I use a variety but it is based on what tastes good and I do enough in the gym that I do watch my protein I can eat my body weight in natural protein so it is supplemented with shakes and bars too0
