Best Overall Protein Bars?

[suspek24]

Zero Impact has no artificial ingredients. It's fats are all derived from nuts and seeds. The reason that I don't like sugar and honey is because the Bible says it's bad.

?It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory? Proverbs 25:27 (ESV).

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

The average person consumes about 175 pounds of sugar every year. That is more than the body weight of an average American, so it's no wonder that so many adults and children are unhealthy. Proverbs 25 tells us that eating too much honey (or sugar) can be detrimental to our health. Controlling the amount of sugar you eat is a simple and healthy principle that can add years to your life and health to your years. Live wisely and safely within the bounds that God has given you in His Word. Enjoy life and have fun, but follow the rules that God gives you to be healthy, wealthy and wise!

That is another reason that Zero Impact bars are so great. Only 6 or 7 g of sugar.

Surely you jest. The bible also says "Suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." 1 Timothy 2:12

Do you agree with that as well?

The bible also says premaritial sex is bad-Do you abide by that as well or only in the context of marketing the merits of the VPX bar?

1 Corinthians 7:1-2
Now about the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to live a celibate life. But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.


Now before this becomes a religious debate I am only trying to point out how out of context your biblical passage was.

Can't help but notice the VPX ingredient profile on their site
Honey-Brown RIce Syrup, Corn Syrup- Sounds like sweetners to me :)

BTW-What exactly is a limited rep?

PS-Sustain bars have no artifical ingredients and a truly natural sugar source

[Crunchbar]

So is sustain.....and not dry. ;)

i sent u a pm uhockey

I am curious as to why a dominantly honey source of carbs in a protein bar is better then lets say a oat dominant source....

We didn't say better, but there are a number of phytonutrients in honey that are certainly not in oats, and honestly, most people living a healthy lifestyle get enough fiber, which is the only TRUE benefit I see in oats over honey. Both are great carb sources.

Okay, I do not have premarital sex with Zero Impact bars but thanks for asking. But seriously, I don't think it was that OUT of context as I was reffering to honey, but to each his own. I see what you're saying about the ingredients, but the sugar count only hits 6 or 7 g depending on which bar you're reffering to. I put limited because my only tie to the company is writing on this(bb.com) and their(vpx1.com) website. I don't know why I put limited, I guess I don't feel as if I am as big a part of the company as other board reps are. Could just be ignorance on my end. Who said I was reffering to their bars? But what I don't understand is, why do people try to defend per say "pharmacuetical grade" sugar and "honey?" The fact is, sugar is sugar is sugar is sugar. Fancy words do not change it. But I just thought the biblical verse was ironic as I stumbled upon it. That's the reason I put it up. I mean no harm.

People, pay attention! We've lost the thread topic in here and people need to know about protein bars darn it. Well, I do anyway. I'm choking down the Met-Rx Protein Plus (Mud Pie Fusion). This was my hubby's choice. I prefer Detour bars. Any thoughts on which one is better? They seem to measure up about the same as far as protein (32) etc. I think it boils down to taste.

Personally, I like the Mud Pie Fusion. When the Detour bars came out, we sold them constantly and I snacked on them constantly - so I guess it's not a fair comparison but I like the Mud Pie Fusion since I didn't get "sick of them".

Hm... one has 19g of sugar alcohols and the 1st ingredient is maltitol syrup, lol.

The other contains HFCS.

Wow.

I never lied. I told you I wasn't a shill(for all the computer nerds). I told you I didn't get paid, I just really liked VPX products. And after bugging them for sometime they actually agreed to allow me on as part of the team.

I told you I have no idea what it means. And I was asking you to tell me. If you took it wrong, that was not my intention.

Pure Protein Bars are good, and they are cheap.

[steve009]

okay so ive read bits and peices of this thread cuz theres no way im reading 60 pages to find out which protein bar is the favorite, but anyways so far the Sustain bars seems to take first. can someone fill in the second and third spot for me?

i used to think vyo-pro bars were perfect macro wise, then i saw they have hydrogenated oil so watch out, so do some muscletech bars and mhp bars

[Rodzilla]

i just tried choco peanut butter and vanilla almond sustain bars over vacation, vanilla almond ftw.

on a side note, i would never interpret that part of the bible about honey as saying honey is bad, i thought it was just saying not to be a glutton.

Yeah, I need to pay more attention to those items.

[dannyswo]

Detour. They are solid. Also the Clif Builder Bars.

[Baby_Hercules]

Although they aren't the best tasting, the VPX Zero impact in my opinion is the best choice. It supposedly has little to impact on blood sugar levels. Its not high in sodium or sugar. You could use it precontest occassionally if you find yourself in a bind.

[GrassoNY187]

i would reccomend "Pure Protein" bars. 170 cal 20 g protein. doesn't get much better. vesides, they come in chocolate fudge, cookies, and chocolate peanut butter.

[Lol312]

I'm going to a GNC soon, and i was wondering wich type of protein bar i should get. I checked the site and sustain bars dont show up. Does anyone know if Muscletech nitrotech bars are any good? They ahve 35g of protein, but taste wise, are they good? Easy to digest? Any other bars that are good, would be nice if you could post or pm me thanks =]

[duece49]

mmmmmm Supreme Protein Carb Conscious, so tasty

[DottsBaller5]

I have to try Clif Builder's..........even though it's all from soy. Still it's all natural and I love Clif bars, so I'll try this sometime

My favorite bars:

Metrx Big 100 for meal replacement

Metrx Protein Plus

EAS Myoplex Deluxe bars

[LadyGie]

Myoplex and detour bars our my fav

[Z. Peloso]

MHP probolic-sr.
VPX zero impact.

[pythondust]

the cookie one is good and chocolate

[uhockey]

Sustain Bar, Vanilla Almond. :D

[champster]

I just want to find a bar that can function as a meal replacement.


Everything on the market now is either full of sugar, or sugar-alcohols....

I want carbs.......it's just that I want good carbs!!

Have you looked at Labrada Bars...they have good carbs and good fat as well as full of protein...i have at least one per day

[Fitsho]

Have you looked at Labrada Bars...they have good carbs and good fat as well as full of protein...i have at least one per day

I like the chewy granola-ish ones, however, they've got too much maltitol for my tummy...so..they're a no-go for me!

[40-Yard Dash_2]

Sustain Bar, Vanilla Almond. :D

Agreed. Accept no substitute people!

[J-Peg]

big fan of Supreme Protein (30g of Protein)

also, Zero Impact bars are not that bad either


The supreme protein bars are the best ever. What I'm wondering is if anyone can verify what they claim on the package to be true? That would be that the net carb count is 6 and that the remaining 28 non-impact carbs from Polyols and other fibers don't count.

[GetShredded]

Just picked up another box of DS PB and trying the Vanilla almond as well. To much crap in every other bar.

Hey Uhockey, Ds uses all natural ingredients in those Sustain bars correct? I ordered a box of both flavors to try out, my other ones got old. :D

It's mostly the taste that draws me to them mind you; there are bars better suited for my macros out there, but taste like carboard. Sustain PB tastes better than candy to me.

The cookies&cream sucks because there's always something real hard like a rock in it. I prefer chocolate. Actually they all don't taste very good.

Regarding new Sustain Bar flavors......take into account our love for Honey. Mint Honey? Gross. Lemon Honey?? Maybe.

There are thoughts for another, though.

[DrBrology3]

big 100's are the best. they taste great and high in protein

[Sibrek]

Just tried the AST vyopro in the chocolate flavor....taste is pretty good, and they're the only filling bar i've ever had. 200 cals, i recommend it

[Johnchallis]

Still too many cals for my girl man, the lite bars have 190 and taste great, regardless of how good other bars may be, if they are 2x as many calories or are hard to eat, they're not gonna work.

Erm. if your bulking a bar with 2 x the calories IS going to work better than a 190 cal bar.

[ab-swing asianbabe]

Unfortunately, these are probably the "best" nutrition-wise that we have here.. I've tried the almond and the peanut ones and they taste pretty good.. come in a sticky lil ball shape bounce balls (http://www.bouncesnackfoods.com/aus/)

http://www.bouncesnackfoods.com/aus/images/product2_02.jpg

BUT...I've added 2 boxes of sustain (almond & pb) and 1 box of VPX pumpkin.... I'll review them soon, if they make it over. :)

[Cristian22]

Nitro-Tech Chocolate Caramal Nut Crunch, 30 grams of protein, 300 calories, and only 4 grams of sugar. I hate protein bar's flavors, but this one is the best I've tried so far. It is not all covered in chewy chocolate, which makes it hard to swallow and chew, it's really good, like I said, best one so far. You can get 12 at GNC for around $25 with the membership card 20% discount the first week of every month, and since I eat half eat serving (15 grams of protein), they end up being 24 servings for $25, a buck each serving, compared to the $1.5 that I paid for protein bars before. Definitely worth it.

Do you have any advice of a protein bar without being too chewy or chocolate covered, and with the same relation protein grams/price? Just wondering to take a look at it :)

[nni]

no chocolate coating? zero impact bars? i basically only recommend sustain bars and zero impact as they both have excellent profiles. i know the sustain ones are great (chocolate though) and people seem to enjoy the zero impact bars as well, so i would check them out.

do a little research on trans fats, I'm hoping it will scare you straight, I avoid the stuff like the plague.

also palm kernal oil is like 80% saturated fat, so I think hydrogenated palm kernal oil might be just about the worst thing ever next to eating cigarettes.

I use regular snickers bars. King Size if it is for post workout nutrition.

Aren't those two the same thing????

[ZDub212]

It's amazing how many protein bars are actually out there. I was in Vitamin Shoppe last night...the list didn't end! And no Sustain bar :(

[EatUnion]

This is hands down the best ever protein bar in the planet.

Prepare to rep me :) (haha kidding but I'm definitely not against some reps)

not bad. xylitol has a cool mint type flavor, that would taste interesting.

they carry most of our line, just not the protein products.

[uhockey]

Actually, we can't keep the bars in stock long enough to fill large retail orders. They weren't given a choice. :)

[New Breed]

This is a great bar, thought relativly new. I bought the Choc. Marshmellow chunk. This has an awesome taste. I really look forward to eating the bar. I can honestly say that's a first. It has 30g of protein per bar and has a 12 muscle feeding system...all in one bar, SWEET!

maybe we should make a seperate thread, best bars WITHOUT hydrogenated oils

Whats the major of choice?

[Rodzilla]

Sustain, FTW.

i would say, along with vpx bars

sustain packaging wins by far though

u mean flavor? i got pb fudge just b/c im not much of a vanilla fan

[Warneckutz]

I agree, on both...

I've had about 15 different bars in my kitchen since the contest, and I'm going down to 3 or 4 brands, two are D.S.'s Sustain (BOTH flavors) and VPX's Zero Impact (Pumpkin Supreme).

I'm still deciding on the other two boxes of bars I want to get... I do enjoy the Labrada Lean Body Cookie Bars (all 3 flavors)...

So, I guess that leaves one more type to go... Hmmm...

[southpaw447]

I just want to find a bar that can function as a meal replacement.


Everything on the market now is either full of sugar, or sugar-alcohols....

I want carbs.......it's just that I want good carbs!!


These are the best 3 I have found

VPX Zero Impact
Myoplex
Muscle Milk Bars are pretty good too

[nni]

VPX Zero Impact
Myoplex

VPX ZI is a good choice.
Myoplex has HFCS and is not a good choice as its a bad carb, so no.
MM has malitol and corn syrup. not a good choice.


zero impact has good carb sources
sustain has good carb sources


you had one out of three though.

[abercrombie3f]

anyone know of a low fat protein bar...some of them tend to be a bit higher in fat for PWO

[Rodzilla]

anyone know of a low fat protein bar...some of them tend to be a bit higher in fat for PWO

arent protein shakes just as convenient?

I really can't think of any that have a decent ingredient list...detour go bars are like 3g of fat with 12g protein (whey concentrate)
metrx big 100 pretty low fat, high fructose corn syrup and not sure about the protein blend.

[Coulaid]

anyone know of a low fat protein bar...some of them tend to be a bit higher in fat for PWO

Oh Yeah Natural bars have 5-7g of Fat depending on the flavor.

[Jamier11]

Using protein bars post workout is both less effective and much more pricey than having a shake. Whey shake!! Save the bars for emergencies.

I did a review on both flavors of DS Sustain, check it out, http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=4040623

[deadlift425]

Zero impact bars(both chocolate peanut butter and that delicious pumpkin supreme). Leaves me full, doesn't make me feel like ****, calories are great, nutritonal info is the best out of all bars ive tried(trioplex, metrx big 100s, detours, oh yeah, xyience, nitrotech/mesotech, myoplex bars, promax, cliff, atkins, etc.....)

I like when I get em on clearance at the local health food stores when marked down by date for around a buck or two. Definitely worth the cash!!!!!

How are the Promax bars..? Havn't seen anybody talk about them and they seem to be the top seller on bb's store.

I'll be buying 3-4 box's since school is starting and they are great to carry around. Anybody have any suggestions on what to get? Sustain seems to be the hype from what i've read.

Promax are bars that I wouldn't recommend at all. More sugar than protein...

Sustain bars...they're some of the best!

I also recommend PBL Omega Bars, VPX ZI Bars, and Labrada Lean Body Cookie or Rockin Roll Bars.

Is that because you're a rep, or because you ACTUALLY believe them to be on par in terms of ingredients/macros? :rolleyes:

[Rodzilla]

Is that because you're a rep, or because you ACTUALLY believe them to be on par in terms of ingredients/macros? :rolleyes:

probably because they taste good, and they are not all that bad for a meal like breakfast.

[Mr.Farang]

I love VPX ZI Bars the chocolate flavor than the pumpkin flavor. Chocolate is less sweet.

Yet to try sustain bars. it will be nice if there is a sample :p

[shoopster]

Hey I see some saying don't get certain things because of high fructose corn syrup, but what about regular corn syrup or Low DE Corn Syrup or brown rice syrup. Because I see the VPX ZI bars have Low DE Corn Syrup and brown rice syrup. Is there a difference?

[bts]

labrada bars any flavor

[ZDub212]

Is that because you're a rep, or because you ACTUALLY believe them to be on par in terms of ingredients/macros? :rolleyes:

I tried and loved Labrada bars/products LONG before I became a rep. Some of my earliest posts (You can check some of my threads) were about the Cookie Bars for example.

I recommended the Sustain Bars based on the fact that I trust DS, like the ingredient profile, and think they can work as a supplemental treat.

I recommended the VPX ZI bars because of the ingredient profile, taste, and the large amount of calories.

I recommended the PBL bars because of the ingredient profile and large amount of fiber.

I recommended the Labrada Bars because I've always loved them, and they're not a bad option either.

I don't think protein bars should EVER replace a meal, I don't care who makes them...so no, I don't think any of these bars are worth much except for a treat that deviates from a regular diet.

[Illadelphia]

i just got my Pumpkin Supreme bars from VPX, they are great, by taste, and by ingredient profile.

[40-Yard Dash_2]

I've tryed many a protein bar some of which were super crappy and others which I nodded in agreement. Designer Whey protein bars make a mean tasting post-workout snack with several designer flavors. Noted they may have some sugar and such there are zero sugar and also caffeine loaded ones. Personally these take the cake.

[Cristian22]

Anybody tried those Promax Chocolate Coconut bars?

[blaydeman]

im thinking about making some

4 ounces soy protein powder, approximately 1 cup
2 1/4 ounces oat bran, approximately 1/2 cup
2 3/4 ounces whole-wheat flour, approximately 1/2 cup
3/4-ounce wheat germ, approximately 1/4 cup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ounces raisins, approximately 1/2 cup
2 1/2 ounces dried cherries, approximately 1/2 cup
3 ounces dried blueberries, approximately 1/2 cup
2 1/2 ounces dried apricots, approximately 1/2 cup
1 (12.3-ounce) package soft silken tofu
1/2 cup unfiltered apple juice
4 ounces dark brown sugar, approximately 1/2 cup packed
2 large whole eggs, beaten
2/3 cup natural peanut butter
Canola oil, for pan

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and lightly coat with canola oil. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, oat bran, wheat flour, wheat germ, and salt. Set aside.

Coarsely chop the raisins, dried cherries, blueberries and apricots and place in a small bowl and set aside.

In a third mixing bowl, whisk the tofu until smooth. Add the apple juice, brown sugar, eggs, and peanut butter, 1 at a time, and whisk to combine after each addition. Add this to the protein powder mixture and stir well to combine. Fold in the dried fruit. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 205 degrees F. Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into squares. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

If this is the case, I recommend an MRP (Meal Replacement Powder). If you spend a LITTLE bit more $, you'll have a viable option for this purpose.

SAN Infusion is a FANTASTIC MRP.

Labrada Lean Body is another great option.

Or a simple casein/whey blend IE Ultra Peptide, Micellar Matrix, EvoPro, Zero Impact would all be much better options than downing protein bars left and right...would cost you the same for those options too.

[Sixpack]

And ON's Casein , and I would also opt for other real food

thats the best thing about low sugar detour bars...they are cheap and taste like your cheating...but with only 170 calories and 15g of protien, they are a low cost low guilt protien bar.

well ladies and gentlemen i know a while back i said that in my opinion all protein bars tasted like ****. well i am here to kick myself in the ass because i just finished a designer supplement sustain bar and it was awesome. it really didnt taste like a protein bar it was more like a regular old candy bar.

Well everyone, im back from my 2 month CT trip, check my profile to see the actual horrible change that took place during my trip(in camp). But while in camp, the food was terrible, I basically starved, and lived off of oats, and tuna. Also some protein bars, such as the VPX Zero Impact Bar, and the Sustain Bar. I must say, those bars are amazing, and are the BEST protein bars for meal replacements/ snacks. I found that I chomped my way through the Sustain Bars within days!.. I was shocked how fast i ate them, while I still had over a couple of VPX Bars left.
BTW...does anyone know about, or have tried the NEW VPX Zero Impact Flavors?

EGYPTIAN MUMMY FOOD!

[RonShipman]

VPX Zero Impact is the way to go. 30 grams of protein and bar is second to none. First Protein ingredient in Zero impact is Protein Isolate, alot of bars like Sustain first protein is concentrate. Concentrate = cheapo grade.

This is the proteins in Zero Impact



Whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, Micellean Micellar Casein Protein


This is the proteins in Sustain bar


whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate



Sustain is a fine bar, but anybody who thinks it's the best bar or any other bar on the market is better than Impact bar has manure for brains.

Soy Protein?? Haha

The protein and carb ratio is great. The ingredients looked solid, so I bought them both. Has anyone tried these bars?..What are your feeling on the bar nutrition wise?...

VPX Zero Impact is the way to go. 30 grams of protein and bar is second to none. First Protein ingredient in Zero impact is Protein Isolate, alot of bars like Sustain first protein is concentrate. Concentrate = cheapo grade.

This is the proteins in Zero Impact



Whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, Micellean Micellar Casein Protein


This is the proteins in Sustain bar


whey protein concentrate, soy protein isolate



Sustain is a fine bar, but anybody who thinks it's the best bar or any other bar on the market is better than Impact bar has manure for brains.

Soy Protein?? Haha

When looking at a protein bar...you're only taking into account the protein sources? :rolleyes:

Top post... VPX has the best nutritional profile of any bar. Sustain tastes the best though...wish it didnt have soy in it though.

[RonShipman]

Well not only are the protein sources in Zero Impact superior to Sustain, but everything else in the Zero Impact bar is superior also. It's just the better bar get over it. Someone has to be the best, VPX make it. The Sustain bar is probably the 2nd best protein bar on the market, but it's 10 feet under the Zero Impact bar.

I completely disagree.

The Sustain bar has a LOT less fat, has a much smaller ingredient list, and tastes better.

VPX has an excellent bar, don't get me wrong, but 21g of fat, 440+ kcal, along with all of those carbs? Never fits into my macros.

sustain bars still win overall. havnt found a better bar.

Um, there is casein in the Sustain bar, first off. Secondly, the soy is a VERY small percentage, and the issue with soy is the isolated isoflavones, not the protein source.


Top post... VPX has the best nutritional profile of any bar. Sustain tastes the best though...wish it didnt have soy in it though.

Prove to me, once, that less than 5g of soy has ANY adverse effect?

You were the one that said that fat wasn't bad. Contradicting yourself now? I thought the ZI bar had good sources of fat. And why does the size of the ingredient list matter? Unless you're compacting 70 ingredients into 22 grams.

[RonShipman]

Well personally I want a protein bar that has something to it. The extra protein in the bar is a must, the fats in the bar are actually good and I like it has over 400 calories. Depends on what you want the bar for I suppose. Bodybuilding.com = Bodybuilders anybody on here who has alot of muscle mass and is already cut a bar like Zero Impact is awesome. A person with little muscle and gains weight easy can stick to the mr rogers bar. I'm a bodybuilder, LETS LIFT AND LIFT BIG

i got 5 different boxes sitting at home right now and i gotta admitt i like them all.

oyeah iss vanilla caramel are amazing but they have such a huge amount of calories.

mesotech peanutbutter bars, they say they always taste fresh on the package and they do decent fat good protein but high carbs 41g

eas myoplex bars the cookie and cream one was the first bar i tried and at first i hate it but i acquired a taste for it and now i munch em all the time

same with the myoplex peanut butter bar

last but not least though cytosport muscle milk bars are also absoloutley amazing tasting. vanilla toffee crunch, and any other one by them.

[nycflip220]

So it seems like "Pure Protein" is low quality from what some are saying. That's what I picked up a box of since they're cheap. They taste pretty fine to me. I guess I'll pick up another box of something else to try it out. I don't think there'll be much of a difference from a small protein bar anyway.

[TranceyPants]

Detour bars about 70 cents each at my GNC , can't beat that =]

:( Ingredients make the bar.......flip over the package and read what you're eating....then flip over a milky way.....the price/taste will make a little more sense then.

[Buff_Daddy]

If indeed the soy doesnt have any detrimental effects, then I like them equally.. the sustain edges out in taste (actually dominates) and the ZI for calories and protein source.

It depends what your goals are. You cant put the ZI bar down because it doesnt fit your "macros"...thats crazy... why not break the bar in half or something? This is bodybuilding after all, and personally, I often eat a whole ZI bar before going to bed. There is nothing wrong with fat, especially the quality fat in the ZI bar...again baseless accusations.

Just wondering, has anyone tried the PBL omega 3 bar... the ingredients look solid ...wondering about the taste?

I personally like the taste of the Omega 3 bar (ive only tried chocolate). It has a unique taste def not like a "candy bar type-protein bar" almost a little bitter, but very good imo. The Omega 3 taste reports have been very mixed on this board, some like it others hate it.

For all of you Zero Impact Bar guys, Ive tried Pumpkin Supreme, love the flavor, etc. So today, In the mall, I passed GNC, and while getting powder, they had a chocolate peanut putter Zero Impact Bar, so I grabbed it. Should I expect the same type of quality of taste as Pumpkin? Which one taste better in your opinions, and how is chocolate peanut butter?

chocolate peanut butter is more dry and not as good as pumpkin imo.

I never put down the ZI bar once, except the DRY texture. It is a great bar, but certainly not superior to Sustain. Like you said, different goals.

Tastes like cardboard. And there is nothing crazy about not eating a bar because of inconvenient macros. Your macros affect your physique to a much higher degree than the ingredients do.

Im about to get a box of Omega Bar's, so from your experience, do you prefer chocolate over peanut butter, or is it actually better than peanut butter?..like the quality of the bar?..Like could peanut butter be better according to me if i tried it?..or is chocolate just superior over it?..(so i know which flavor to order...)

I do prefer chocolate over peanut butter as of lately, but I felt the peanut butter bar had a weird peanut butter flavor, kind of hard to explain the flavor because even the chocolate flavored bar is not the usual chocolate. I still buy both so I do not always have to eat a chocolate flavored bar. I feel the chocolate is a lot better tasting.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/jay/bar.html

I bought one of each of these today based on ingredients alone...i will update on taste/texture later, but this is not as important to me as the quality of ingredients. The only other bars I eat are DS Sustain and VPX ZI...even though i would apreciate more protein, i think these jay bars rank right up there with the big boys.

[jslee21]

Does anyone know of a store that sells the DS Sustain bar? I would like to try one bar before I decide to buy a whole box. I was able to buy a VPX bar and did not really enjoy it so I am skeptical about buying a box of the Sustain bar which is the other popular bar.

[sportyhp]

quick question, im going down to nashville for school on friday (have to fly, long story i'd drive but o well). anyway, of course its like 100 degrees down there but i was curious if anyone knows if my DS sustain bars are going to melt? im bringing them in my backpack on the plane then in the car when we drive to my school...thanks!

Not sold in stores, and nothing like VPX in terms of taste or texture.

Some of the coating MAY melt, but generally unless you're keeping them at 80+ degrees they are fine.

[sportyhp]

hmm okay....ya when they were shipped to me i had tried one and the coating was a teeny teeny bit melted but i hope it'll be fine.

I assume you're talking about total calories? Yes the VPX is very calory dense with around 450 cals/bar. Personally I like this, others may not. However you're acting like the macros are fixed. You could eat around 75% of the bar at a time , which somewhat resembles the macros of a "normal" bar.

had my 1st metrx cookie dough (spur of the moment purchase)
i was very impressed with the taste and texture... i actually licked the wrapper(maybe i have issues) there are virtually no protein bars that i "enjoy"
this one i did... plus pretty decent nutrition!

[EatUnion]

Just popping by to say that the VPX bars are awesome.

Nutrition-wise, full of complex carbs from great sources, and 30g of high quality protein from milk and whey. The fat sources are great too.

Calories-wise, great for those on a bulk. But for those who complain that there's too much calories, you can always divide the bar into portions.

Taste-wise, both flavours, the pumpkin and chocolate, taste great, somewhat like a spiced brownie. No trouble finishing them at all.

Convenience-wise, it probably is the best in the market. The fact that the bar is like a brownie/cake, and not like the usual candy-bar-style with some sort of coating means that you won't have a melted-bar problem. because of this, you can definitely slip the bar in your pocket without any worry at all.

Now we'll just have to wait for the much-anticipated third flavour :)

Zero Impact if to you want a drier/all natural/high calorie option.

I'm looking for a good protein bar, which can act (when needed) as a meal replacement, and since I'm on a cut, I don't want it filled with sugar, or stuff like that... I'd prefer about the same amount of carbs related to protein... anybody got any suggestions?

Sustain bar. The "sugar" is from raw honey, the glycemic index is medium, the balance is good, and the taste is great. 300 cals each of 100% natural ingredients, healthy fats, carbs, and quality proteins.
