    In before everyone says Quest Bars

    There's a good reason for that. I've got no brand loyalty at all, but nobody else offers close to what they do nutritionally.

    Cookies & cream are my favorites, by the way.

    That's simply not true. They actually have "less" nutritionally than a lot of the others.

    It is either Nugo or Nuga bars. I am all out right now so I cannot double check. They are gluten free and vegan (I have Celiac) and they are great!!

    Oh Yeah Victory Bars. If you get them on sale they are pretty cheap. 200 kcal, 20 grams of protein and 20 grams of fiber per bar.
    I liked the Chocolate chip the most (had Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter)

    How do you figure?

    They have 20-21 grams of protein, 17 grams of fiber and 8 grams of fat. That's perfect macros in my opinion.

    For me, they are too low on carbs, not enough sugar, not enough fat.

    Two Moms in the Raw - only 6 grams of protein, but everything is natural - no added oils or refined sugar, also gluten free.

    I can't stand a sticky/gummy texture. So my favorite is Power Crunch, which also helps with my fat macro. I also like the Market Pantry (Target store brand) bars.

    Ah, well then yeah Quest wouldn't be for you. They are for people looking for a protein boost. As a protein bar though they are, in my opinion, the best calorie to protein bar with the best taste.

    Yeah, I'm not looking for sugar in my protein bar. The protein/fiber/fat in Quest bars are spot on for what I need. Plenty of bars have ~20g protein, but nobody else has the fiber. To each his own, though.

    I really like Think Thin Bars. I think they have 20G protein. I love Quest bars too, but they make me want to keep eating sweets afterwards because they are so sweet!

    ...not enough sugar? Explain why that's bad.

    That's cool. Taste is subjective as I haven't found one I like yet. I was just commenting on the comment about no other bars being close to them. That would assume that everyone has the same goals as everyone else. Some people want/need the extra calories and carbs. Lower cal doesn't equal better.

    Bad? Who said it was bad. Just not what I prefer. Would rather have carbs/sugar in a bar like that as I usually eat them prior to working out.
