Does anyone eat Quest bars?

I use them as a breakfast when I'm trying to run out the door. I like them, and they keep me full.

I eat one for breakfast every morning. It's fast, I can stomach it (not a breakfast fan here), and 20g of protein for ~200 calories is a pretty good deal. But I don't think they're amazingly tasty or anything (some are quite good, some I don't like much), I just eat them because they fit into my goals and I don't have to prepare anything or try to choke down real food in the morning.

They're better after 10 seconds in the microwave, though.

I don't like the super sweet flavours like White Chocolate Raspberry too much or even the really popular Cookie Dough/Cookies & Cream/S'mores much for the same reason. I do like the Cinnamon Roll, Banana Nut Muffin, Apple Pie, Mint Chocolate, and Double Chocolate Chunk, and I do not like the Vanilla Almond, Mixed Berry, Strawberry Cheesecake, or Lemon Cream Pie (even though I love lemon flavour normally, I think the bar tastes like Pledge.) I haven't tried the peanut ones because my husband is allergic. But tastes differ and the ones I mentioned first are really popular so I think most people like them, I just can't handle that much sweet.

ETA: And while I love to cook and think I have a pretty good palate, I can't taste a difference since they switched the formula. Shrug.

I used to eat them, but they are highly processed so I stopped but they do deliver a lot of protein grams compared to many other bars.

I've tried them and I don't mind them. I just choose not to eat them because of the artificial sweetener (sucralose) that's in them.

They constipate me. All that fiber backfires... Anyone else relate?

I find one a day to be, um, beneficial, but more than that absolutely has the effect you experience.

I eat a ton of fibrous vegetables as it is though so I'm used to it.

The only one I like is the white chocolate raspberry when I want something sweet.
A lot of protein (20g) for 200 calories, and it is better than having a candy bar.

I don't exactly hate the new formula other than they're less pliable. I'm broadening my horizons, trying out different bars now tho.

Ok I was just looking for a bar to have on hand for those times hunger hits at the wrong time.

They're fine for that purpose, but I think it's better to look at them as exactly that: something that serves a purpose (calories/protein/fibre) rather than something you eat because it's tasty. They are pretty much just a protein shake made solid, you know?

They have a lot of fibre so they are great at keeping you full IMO, especially if you have one with water.

My favorite are the coconut almond and the chocolate chunk. I stay away from the ones made with sucralose and buy the ones made with Stevia. I've tried several and eat one as a snack regularly. Not necessarily because they taste great, but because they're low in sugar and high in protein.
