Eating two quest bars a day...slightly obsessed...

On average, I eat two quest bars a day (sometimes only one) Does anyone else do this? It's an expensive habit but I love them. My body is used to eating a lot of fiber so it doesn't bother me...is there anything about this habit I should be concerned about? Besides me wallet growing lighter and lighter?

I am right with you. I don't mind waking up at five am because I know I get to eat one. To make it easier on my wallet I started trying to make my own. Basic recipe on sweetcheetah.com. Some variations have been successful, others not so much.1

I eat anywhere from 1-3 a day as well and love every minute of it :P0
-
I once ate a whole box of fiber one bars, but that's cause they taste like a glorified candy bar and I just cant have candy bars in my home.0

I totally relate to that. Although in my case I'm more into the Atkins or Pure Protein soft baked bars lately... which is not as 'good'. But heck, as long as it fits in my calories.0
-
I often eat one or two per day. Yum!0
-
I eat 1-3 Quest Bars per day, I would say Im slightly obsessed.
I love them, they are SOOOOO GOOOOD!!! As long as it fits your calories then its fine, snack on. 0 -
I usually eat about 2 Zone Bars a day. 3 - if i have exercised enough! They are awesome - like chocolate candy bars - but supposedly good(?) for you!! Awright - thats why i eat them!0
-
My only concern would be the wallet. Lol. I just had a discussion with my husband about cutting back on them due to the price.0
-
Ditto with above comments. I love Quest bars. Unfortunately, I love them too much and eating 2 - 3 per day adds some major calories so I have had to forego the bar. They are good though.0

Where are you getting them? I can only find them at GNC.0
-
Oh thank goodness. It's not just me. I love the double chocolate chunk!0
-
Mmm! Coconut Cashew!!! I stick with one, just because of the cost, but I could easily eat two...or three.0

I order them by the box from Amazon, personally.0 -
WOW that's an expensive habit0

The Vitamin Shoppe has them for significantly less than GNC. I pay around $25/box.1 -
Personally I prefer the taste of Cliff Builders and Muscle Milk bars.0
-
Yeah - two per day. I get them discounted by the box at Vitamin Shoppe. They're my AM and PM snack, usually.0
-
LOL. I thought I wrote this!! THIS IS SO ME!!
Id rather eat them than make a meal for myself. Quick, easy and yummy!!:bigsmile:0 -
I heard the qwest bars are the best bars, and I want to try one. But, I don't want to buy a whole box, so I guess I will have to find the local GNC and head over there for a tiral taste test!
I float between the KIND bars and the Power Crunch bars...my candy w/o eating candy... yummy!!!0 -
Ever tried microwaving them? Oh god..0
-
Yum yum to the Cinnamon Roll flavor!! When heated up, it tastes like the real deal! I love Quest bars, but I've had to cut back on them b/c of the price as well! :sigh:0

I have 1-2 a day as meals. I do 6 small meals during the course of the day and they fit in the counts beautifully. It does feel a bit expensive but in my mind every dollar I spend on them to get healthy is another day I get to live. So far, it's a worthwhile trade. :glasses:2

OH MY GOD.
Yes!!! They are SO good
I am completely obsessed. People should check our their instagram and recipe blog too for what else you can do with them. Some people bake them to make them into cookies! I haven't done it yet, but holy shnikes it looks good.
ALSO, I started by buying them at GNC but have heard that vitamin shoppe is much cheaper by like $5-6 a box or once you've tried some I would try the Amazon route!0 -
I have 1/2 of one after my morning workout, and then the other 1/2 as an afternoon snack. The chocolate chip cookie dough one lives up to the hype (especially when microwaved for 15 seconds).
They are pricey, but you can't beat the amount of protein vs. calories and net carbs and calories. Also, if you have blood sugar issues, they are low on the glycemic index (which has been incredibly helpful for me).

I prefer Cliff or Think Thin bars, but yes, I love eating several a day and wish they weren't so expensive!0

Fiber One bars KILL ME. They DO taste amazing but I've tried them twice and both times ended up with the most painful cramping of my life. Like, crying, begging my fiance to take me to the ER and not being able to stand up kind of pain.
So I've determined they have a lethal amount of fiber that my body just can't handle..1 -
I love the fiber ones bars, but they make me fart badly.0
-
honest question...why are you eating so many? I eat one before my morning workout (only because I can't eat a big meal that early). But I would rather have "real" food for those calories vs. a bar. KWIM? I also find it really throws my digestive system off if I replace too much food with bars.1

nmiller - FYI, if you call or email them they will send you 2 free bars by mail for FREE1
