Anyone have a suggestion for msg free protein bars, preferably low carb? I'm not going to list out all the variations of msg name but no protein hydroslyate, sodium/calcium caseinate, etc. You get the point.

TIA

    Depends - how strong is your MSG conspiracy theorizing?

    Because any protein bar WILL contain whey or soy, as those are the protein sources for the bars. My mom is very anti-MSG conspiracy theorist, and will not eat whey or soy as those are "hidden MSG."

    Personally I don't buy that because I know where those processed proteins come from, and if you do have a reaction to them, it's usually from dehydration.

    Point being, you might have to stick with granola bars that have nuts for protein bars.

    yea I get that, I'm trying to limit the amount of msg I get. I will typically take a caseinate protein prior to bed but in terms of my overall daily protein goals I'm looking for suplimentation.

    As to the MSG conspiracy, I have found it difficult to find bars without some form so I question weather there is any better option.

    EDIT: yes I know pure forms (eggs whites, chicken, etc) are the better option, but I cant be eating egg whites all day long.

    I really do think any protein bar you find is going to have some form of whey or soy... Gonna have to stick to nut bars or just raw nuts.
