Protein Bars

I think the Quest bars are disgusting, and expensive! I eat the Clif bars which are 20g of Protein and just yesterday I discovered the Walmart brand (Equate I think), box of 8 was $8.88 and they are 20g of protein as well! They arent as yummy as the Cliff bars but for that price who cares, they still arent as yuck as the Quest!

I will have to try these

I'm sure the Cliff bars taste a lot better considering they contain 20g of sugar (30g carbs). If you don't mind all that sugar, then go for it, but if you're watching your sugar content, I would go the way of Quest, Pure, or something similar.

I watch my carbs, but even though these are higher it still fits into my macros, I don't watch my sugar as I have no need to.

Edited to add, I just looked at the quest bars I had tried a few weeks back and they ranged from 22-26g of carbs, so really not much difference. Yes a huge difference in sugars, however as I already said I have no need to watch my sugar. :drinker:

Say what??

Sugar is just a carb. Therefore, if she is tracking carbs and has room in her macros, there is no need to track sugar as well.

The 26g of carbs in Quest Bars comes from Fiber, this does not impact bloods sugar what's so ever. HUGE difference than 20g of sugar.
I understand that sugar is a carb, and I'm sure you could fill up your daily intake of macros on Krispy Kreme donuts everyday keeping under the limit, doesn't mean you should do it.

Obviously you won't hit your macros if you "fill up your daily intake of macros on Krispy Kreme donuts everyday" (although I'm not sure how choosing a different brand over quest insinuates eating Krispy Kreme all day), but a little bit more sugar for someone who doesn't have any medical conditions isn't going to hurt them if they are staying within their goals. I'm not trying to debate. Just pointing out where she was coming from.

If you're going to eat a Cliff bar you might as well eat a candy bar... macros are identical if not worse/better.

When you show me a candy bar with 20 grams of protein, I will happily change over.

I'm a big fan of Quest Bar's coconut and almond bar (I think that's what it's called... just finished one 10 minutes ago haha)).

I really like the Elevate Me range of protein bars.....16g of protein at least, but the carbs are way up there....around 35g per bar.....so only eat those if you have the room in your carb target for the day.....but they are so yummy.....gluten free and high in fibre.....my faves are the Banana Almond, Banana Nut Bread, and the Cocoa Coconut....I have only seen them at Save On Foods though...(Canada)

I always recommend the Balance Bar - but ONLY the mint cookie flavor. It is seriously the protein bar version of a girlscout thin mint cookie.

Clif White Chocolate Macadamia Nut bars are heaven!

I LOVE the taste of protein bars! My favorite are the ANSI Cheesecake Bars, PowerBar Vanilla Protein Plus, and Quest's Double Chocolate Chunk! I used to buy them from either the Vitamin Shoppe (since I can get them individually and get reward points) or Amazon (sometimes cheaper). However, I was recently forced to give them up </3 For whatever reason recently, about ten minutes after I consume a protein bar I get terribly ill. I get chills, nausea, abdominal pain, intense thirst, weakness, and I vomit... a lot. I used to be fine, so I'm not sure why this randomly started happening (maybe I developed an allergy to something in it? Too much fiber?) Either way, what happened to me is bizarre and unusual, if I could continue eating them I would. You should try some out! But be patient, some are certainly better than others.

In Quest Bars, I dig the Cinnamon Roll and Coconut Cashew. I really wanted to like the Chocolate PB, but it was just meh.

I alo really dig Trader Joe's Turkey Jerkey, but I really need them to open a location by my apartment!
