    So people who post recipes, why can't you enter them into the 'recipe' app here on MFP and post the breakdown for calories, protein, carbs, etc.? Certainly would be thoughtful, helpful and considerate.

    How about YOU do your own homework in the recipe builder on MFP because you may or may not use the same brands of ingredients, or you may decide on different portion sizes for yourself?

    Seriously, it isn't hard. :frown:

    I came up with 830 calories for the entire batch (not sure how big each square will be since I haven't made them yet.

    Oats are 300 calories for one cup
    Most peanut butters are 190 per 2 tablespoons so this recipe calls for 4 tbsp = 380
    Most Whey protein powders range from 140-160 so I went with the middle range 150

    830 for the batch

    nutrition data?
    \

    1 cup oats = 150 calories
    2 tablespoons PB = 190 calories (typically) and there are 4 tbsp in 1/4 cup so double it
    1 scoop protein powder = probably somwhere around 150 cals but they're all different.

    Now add that up and divide by the number of bars you make.

    Done.

    I love you Megan

    I can't make this with any type of nut butter. May be a long shot but is there anything that could work as an alternative?

    these bars are DELICIOUS!
    this is my second time making my own protein bars & this recipe is way better than the previous one.

    You Need:
    - Gold Standard Whey Protein ( Cookies & Cream )
    - 100% Whole Grain Oats
    - All-Natural Peanut Butter
    + Water

    Directions:
    Microwave about 1/4 cup of water & 1/4 cup of peanut butter for 1minute.
    Then add it to a mixing bowl of 1 scoop whey protein & 1 cup of oats.
    Mix. Shape. Refrigerate.

    Random, but is that a bread pan?

    Silly question, but is it because of a nut allergy? Can you use Waldens? My aunt has a nut allergy and she eats WOWbutter. (I included links to both, in case you have no idea what I'm talking about... it happens. :D)

    The water/ peanut butter combo ended up being pretty thin and chunky. I wonder if you could try doing the same thing with a smushed up banana or two... I'll experiment!

    lol@ people who can't figure out the cals. My protein powder is only 78 cals per serving - everyone has different powder, everyone will make different sized bars, everyone will use different peanut butter!!

    Count YOUR calories, and be OCD about it otherwise you will simply over/under estimate and find reaching your goal harder :flowerforyou:

    Last time I tried these kinds of bars it was confirmed that I am not only gluten intolerant, but also oats (especially dry) :sad: stomach ache, vomiting, dehydration, broken sleep, fainting... lovely. I envy you all!
