Quest Bar Sale at GNC!

Thank you!

Is this still working? It's telling me it's not a valid code when I try to enter it.

EDIT: Tried using Incognito Mode in Chrome and then it worked. FYI if anyone else has the same problem.

Had the same problem, and incognito fixed it. Would *never* have thought of that myself, many thanks!!!

Hi Guys and Gals,

I don't know about their marco information being off.. But it definatly wouldnt be easy to make a homeade protein bar with 17g of fiber, 5 net carbs, and 20g of protein without it tasting like absolute crap.

Anyway, Thanks for the heads up on the deal

Hi dude with a totally unsubstantiated claim.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I DGAF about your crusade against the imaginary food I'm eating. Why don't you keep your eyes on your own plate? That is, of course, unless you can provide some actual scientific proof to back your claim.

Capitalize Random Words--seriously, Make the English language Your b***h.

:laugh: :flowerforyou:

Eat what you want I don't care !!!!The FDA does not regulate bars in the USA it says that on the package read it its in black and white !

The reason I told you to make your own protein bars is because you and only you can regulate what you mix into your own personal bars.

Your Body do what you want !

I don't make any money off you making your own protein bars or eating real food so there is no benefit to me !

In mid-December someone filed a lawsuit alleging that Quest overstates its dietary fiber content and consequently understates its digestible carb content. It is essentially a dispute over whether Isomalto-Oligosaccarides ("IMOs") are digestible carbs or dietary fiber. If you let the all-knowing gods of Wikipedia decide -- it is dietary fiber. Other all-knowing gods disagree, and I am too lazy and not interested enough to research it to holy hell. Quest of course disputes this complaint.

Looking at my Coconut Cashew bar label (which is awesome and which I enjoy from time to time), total calories are listed as 170, with 20g of protein, 6g of fat, and 24g of carbs (of which 17g are listed as dietary fiber -- the mysterious IMO).

If IMOs are dietary fiber then: 20g protein @ 4 cals per g = 80 cal; plus 6g fat at 9 cals per g = 54g; plus 7 net carbs @ 4 g per cal = 28 cals for a total of 172 calories.

If IMOs are not dietary fiber and instead normal carbs, then: 80 cal protein, plus 54 cal fat, plus 24g carb @ 4 cal per g = 96 cals for a total of 230 Cals -- an increase of 60 cals and 17g carbohydrates.

All of which is interesting in a somewhat random way, but does not, IMHO, justify the "they were tested and were off by 80% on some of their claims" based solely on this dispute over IMOs, even if the "sorry to burst your bubble" post had been more literate and cited sources.

Here's a link to a short discussion at another forum that gets right to the point about the dispute being over IMOs: http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=511360.0

Here are two links to MFP threads discussing this (in which you'll find additional links to the actual complaint, several reports on the dispute, Quest's response, and some informed discussion (and probably some cat GIFs):
