If you eat nutrition bars do you prefer fiber or protein? I have a good fiber bar I like to eat around 3pm but I noticed when I saw a nutritionist that she pushed hard on extra protein. I tried the protein bars she recommended but found them distasteful.

    I try to hit 120 g of protein a day, so I'll reach for the protein bar. But there are some brands out there that are pretty terrible. I'm a big fan of Luna or Zone Bars when I can afford them. When I'm pinching pennies I'll get the Nature Valley or Fiber Plus protein bars.

    it looks like you started out at about the weight I'm at now. How long did it take you to lose all the weight?

    I love quest bars. A typical bar has around 20g of protein and 15 g of fiber.

    I do Zone Protein Bars Monday through Friday (I keep them at work) and on the weekends I've been eating Nature Valley Dark Chocolate and Peanuts Protein Bars, there is a little less protein in them at 10 grams I think.

    I usually pick protein over fiber. I think it helps more in the long run.
