    My favorite are Power Crunch bars - they are light (like wafers), and do not sit like lead in your stomach. My favorite flavors are French Vanilla, Wild Berry Creme and Peanut Butter Creme. They have 14g of protein in them.

    I do like think thin bars occasionally.

    Be careful though! Most are packed with sugar or artificial sugars. I like protein powders better for this reason. And I have found some absolutely delicious flavors!

    I work nights. I find the Kashi Go Lean Chocolate Turtle bar is not only tasty, but takes a while to eat/chew and has 'staying' power. $1.75/bar, can buy in 4 pack. Good luck :smile:

    I **LOVE** Quest bars. NO chemicals or processed crap in them that I can't pronounce. Low carb as well. They are a little on the pricey side, but you can't put a price on health! (: (plus if you warm them in the microwave, they taste like a VERY naughty treat ;)

    You get more out of protein shakes but for protein bars - I like Pure Protein.

    Whatever you do look for less than 200 calories and 17 grams or more of protein. Watch the Fat and Sugar levels as well.

    More calories and less protein is not worth it! Get the most bang for your buck!!!!

    Best of Luck!!

    I like the p90x bars the best. They have 20 grams of protein and no sugar alcohols, which I have found other bars have and cause me a lot of stomach pain and bloating. They are pretty big and filling, so I eat half at a time and they end up costing me a little over a dollar a bar.

    Think thin, but only the crunchy peanut butter flavour. I like BSc and Aussie Bodies a lot as well, they are Australian brands, not sure how much they are distributed internationally (they both make killer cookies and cream flavours!)

    And I have thought about doing shakes and not bars, but the problem is I am not sure that a shake would give me the same satiety as a bar does - drinks generally don't fill you up. And I do a lot of eating for satiety - ie, if I am hungry, I will eat until I am not hungry anymore (especially just before bed - I will not go to bed hungry) so I need to find filling food choices to keep the cals low.

    I like Health Wise Caramel Crunch Bars (15g protein/160 calories & taste like a candy bar) or Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars (20g protein/200 calories).
