    I use Quest Protein bars. Lots of fiber, very little net carbs.

    I look for whole grains, high fiber and low sugar--Kashi Trail Mix bars, South Beach Bars. and Snack Wells (these are the same as the old South Beach cereal bars).

    They taste great after 10 seconds in the microwave

    I like the Zone Perfect bars, they do have 200 calories but taste good IMHO and roughly 14 g. protein.
    I've tried the FullBars and they are nasty, nasty-tasting.

    I LOVE the Zone Perfect bars. I eat them almost everyday. Chocolate peanut butter are my favorite.

    ETA: Zone bars are also CHEAP. $4.30 (appx) for 6.

    I've never heard of Quest before. Do they sell them in stores or do you have to order them online?

    I eat the Pure Protein High Protein Bars. They have several different flavors, and have 20g of protein, 0g trans fat, and only 2g of sugar. They really keep me going between meals.

    I agree with Quest bars or I also use p90x bars when I am in a bind. I find that the other bars on the market make my stomach very upset because of the sugar alcohols they contain. The quest bars are low carb and very little sugar alcohol. p90x bars also do not have any artificial things, but are higher in calories and sugar, so I just eat half at a time. You can sign up to get 2 free samples of quest bars on their website, it will take about 5 weeks for them to come.

    I have Pure Protein Chocolate Bars. They are very rich tasting. Can't eat them without some water. LOL

    Another way, possibly easier, to supplement your protein is with protein shakes. I prefer this method better.

    But I must warn you (and everyone), that the 'Jillian Michael Protein Powder' is not good at all. It actually taste a lot like baby formula. So you can't really add this one to baking or smoothies. Yuck, it just destroys smoothies. :)

    I just bought PowerBar Protein Plus Powder and it is pretty yummy. I'll definitely be able to add it to my smoothies without compromising the taste.

    Hope this helps! :)

    Visalus Nutri Cookie are great! 9 g of protein, 2.2 servings of fruit & vegetables, and 5 g of fiber.
