I would really appreciate it... my medical diet is very restrictive and these are my favorite food that i am allowed.

I gotta be honest. I went to GNC after seeing all the rave reviews and I picked up 4 different flavors. I have tried the white chocolate raspberry and the cookie dough so far. I do NOT think that are worth all the hype. But, that's just my taste buds- to each his/her own.

Are you guys selling these bars or something? I keep seeing posts in the forum about how good they taste, can someone explain how they're using them?

Weight loss program or bulking? Meal replacement?

I see protein, carbs, salt and no other nutritional value. Am I wrong? There just seems to be other things I could eat that has more value and doesn't trigger a craving for a snickers bar.

On a 1300 cal diet plan, why would I want to eat 15% of my allowed intake on something that'll make we want 2 or 3 more?

These are honest questions, cause I'm wondering. Again, I keep hearing how great they taste, but what's the deal?

I use them for everything. With such a high amount of micro-nutrients, they are great for boosting protein intake, or staying full for a while if I am trying to lose weight. There is so much hype on these because aside from making your own, they have no equal in regards to the combination of nutrients AND flavor profile. Other bars that taste as good are so high in sugar and usually have a lot less nutrients.

For a 1300 calorie diet, I assume you are trying to lose at 2lbs per week...so a quest bar would be there as a meal replacement or something to tide you over for a good bit of time. Assuming I haven't done an AM workout, 1 bar in the morning will last me from 6:45 AM until around 10 AM. If you want to maximize how long it keeps you full, I recommend drinking 8-16 ounces of water when eating the bar. Not sure why, but it seems to really help me stay full. I think it has more to do with my body just wants the hydration, but who knows...I haven't given much thought on that.

Note...they are not cheap, so if you are on a budget, check out the below link for home-made, or you can always try doing home-made smoothies to get a similar nutrient profile. Enjoy!

Just realized I forgot to include other nutrients....brownie has 4% calcium, 6% Vitamin A, 15% iron (all based on 2000 calorie diet, so the percents are higher for you), 19g dietary fiber, 380mg of potassium, phosphorous 10% and magnesium 5%. Just note that brownie has the highest nutrition profile of ALL of the bars, so there will be a little less here and there for the other flavors.

So after so many people on MFP saying Quest Bars are the best, I requested some samples. Eating the cinnamon roll flavor right now. So good! Definetly never had a PROTEIN bar taste this good! Will have to buy some.. Thinking the white chocolate raspberry sounds good... Opinions ?

Y'all made me go out & buy some too. I tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & all I have to say is yum:). I bought a few other flavors, but I knew I had to try that one first.

Okay.... hold up. I have to retract what I said earlier today.

I am currently eating the chocolate brownie one & it is DELICIOUS. I am definitely buying some more of these bad boys. I just needed to find the right one for me. I warmed it up & it tastes like a gooey brownie. YUM.

I didn't warm my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough one up, but I might try that tomorrow. How long did you warm up your's for?

Try 10 seconds. ;-)

were can we request frr samples mail me please

"Mmm" is hardly how I would describe them.

Favorites:
Choc chip cookie dough (tastes SO good, especially warmed up)
Peanut butter supreme (love PB)
Strawberry cheesecake (taste great also only has 160 calories for 20g protein)

Good:
Choc brownie (a bit too high on sodium)
Apple pie (love the "apple bits" in there)
PB&J (it really does taste like PB&J)
Mixed Berry Bliss
Banana nut muffin (tastes like banana bread)
White choc raspberry (new flavor.. only had it once. It's alright but I'm not a big fan of white choc in general)

Less preferred:
Lemon cream pie
Cinnamon Roll
Coconut cashew
Vanilla almond crunch

The only one I dislike:
Chocolate Peanut Butter (it doesn't taste like either chocolate or PB, kinda like..cardboard?)
