    Oh I misunderstood... if you're eating them to replace candy, cool. But there's no way I could eat that to try and make protein targets is what I was trying to say. But yeah, better than regular candy recipes I'm sure.

    Well, you could maybe put 1 1/2-2 scoops in instead of just one. I don't have a problem with the cals, seeing as I have problem reaching my calorie goal. But the SUGAR is my problem. I always go over sugar, but for this I can see myself cheating for later down the road.

    When I run all that through the recipe thing, that recipe has to make 24 balls for them to be 56 calories each... and each one only has 2g protein :indifferent:

    IMHO, for something to be a "protein" snack it should have close to 1g protein for every 10 calories. I'd want to see about 5g protein for 56 calories... and that 56 calories must be the size of a small marble :ohwell:

    Exactly. It's frustrating that every time I see a peanut butter recipe they are always off on the calculations. I have to give credit to the OP this time, this one is closer in accuracy than the others I've seen to be a treat instead of a protein snack.

    wonder if using pb2 would help lower the calories, and use more protein powder.

    Try that variation and let us know! I'm not trying to purposely mislead anybody, BTW. I got the nutritional info from the blog that posted it. I tried it, it's delicious, and I thought I'd share it :]

    I'm usually quite good a overhauling a recipie to make it fit what ever is needed. I can't, with this item, increase the protein without greatly increasing the calories. I guess that's why stuff like this doesn't fit into my food repertiore. Snacky snacks are not usually low carb and low cal.

    Easy, just use more protein powder. Leave out the oats if you want, or the honey, esp if your protein powder is sweetened.

    I use equal parts pb and protein powder (plain/unflavored in my case) and enough water to make it into a dough-like consistency. They are awesome. You can really make these any combo of macros you want.
