    How do you define "best"? Highest amount of protein? Best protein to carb ratio? Highest overall calories? Lowest?

    highest protein...I guess. I'm actually more concerned that it doesn't taste like a sock.

    The best readily found protein bar (atleast in the Wash DC area) that has a good ratio of protein to taste aspect is probably the Oh Yeah protein bars.

    I really like the Pure Protein bars. 20g of protein, not too much sugar and they taste good.

    too much fillers in them. better to grab a protein shake with minimal sugar and a piece of fruit or something.

    I love Luna Bars. 180ish cals, 8-9g protein, taste delicious!

    I concur, these are tasty and have a fairly high protein content.

    OMG, Clif bars kill my jaw. It is so much work to eat one, it doesn't taste that great, and then it sits in my stomach like a lump. I'm not sure which is worse, a Clif bar or a Power Bar.

    Agreed. You'll find more protein, lower cals, and less crap in a protein shake

    In my opinion, Cliff bars and Luna bars are overrated because of how many carbs they contain.

    I'm a fan of:

    ~ 'Think Thin' protein bars b/c they have 0g sugar and 20g protein.
    ~ 'Greens Plus' protein bars
    ~ 'PureFit' protein bars

    Those are my top favourites

    True but if the OP needs something on the go, it's kind of a pain to lug around a shaker bottle. Protein bars aren't going to kill someone. Shakes are healthier but honestly depending on the whey you buy...they can be crap too. =)

    i've never found a good one! i recommend getting whey powder and mixing it in with skim/almond milk or into smoothies. so much more delicious, and you can actually see what you're putting in it. or bake/make your own protein bars to fit your non-sock tasting needs! there are so many recipes on the internets...
