    Honestly, I make my own. I have discovered that granola and protein bars inevitable are high in sugar or fat, since you need honey, peanut butter, or agave syrup as a binding agent.

    I have made these, and I eat them as meal bars. The calories come out to about 350 a bar (the way I cut them, anyway) but it's like a compact bowl of oatmeal in bar form, so they're great for when I'm on the go.

    I also plan on trying these once I'm out of the oatmeal bars.

    i really like protein bars but either they have way too much calories or way too much carbs i want a balanced bar i can eat feel full but not have it be outrageously unhealthy any ideas?
    Detour - Lean Muscle Cookie Dough Caramel Crisp - Protein Bar, 1 bar. Check it out....It is high in carbs, but who cares when its only 3 sugars? High in cals too, but it's all protein. I like them in a pinch, when I have to get cals in.

    I LOVE Kind bars - peanut butter dark chocolate.. But @ 7 g of protein, it's more of a snack, that tastes like a candy bar. 200 calories, 17 carbs. Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew is delicious too.

    For more of a meal replacement I like THINK THIN bars. 230 calories, 23 g carbs, 20 g protein. Creamy Peanut butter bar YUMMO

    Also, like NUGO trailmix bars.. but high in carbs.

    I love luna protein bars! The chocolate peppermint and smores are really good. I've tried several but those two are my favorite. They both have 180 calories and I eat one everyday after working out. :)
