Well i've definetly found some great tasting ones like, Oh Yeah's, detour, u-turn, etc. But i generally don't like trusting them for my everyday protein source. I will for emergency's or the odd convenience factor. you are imo better off going with something such as shakes, can of tuna, etc. Some machine made factory line product such as this i would think would vary in nutritional content from bar to bar, but im not sure.

The ones you list are loaded with sugars, preservatives, sugar alcohols, and in some cases even hydrogenated oils.....opt for better choices.

I know you're joking, but that is not Uhockey's point.

It's all about living a long, healthy, and meaningful life.

Yeah dude, I know you were.

I was just stating Uhockey's point, but I realize you were poking fun at the other homeboy.

I too think the Casein Powder should make its return...The problem is, with the rising costs of protein, people just aren't willing to pay a high price for a quality product. Sad, but true.

Yes, I am serious.

Why? Review your post history.

It is right, because I have DIRECTLY seen others answer your question on Sustain Protein powder and have no need to reiterate since those persons obviously got the information from myself or someone else in my company (aka, someone I trust). I'm not a rep, for one, and since you joined in may, 40-yard and nni have been here since you joined, as well.

I'm glad you are into health and fitness at such a young age, if you are smart about it, it should benefit your future greatly......but alas, you are still annoying.

Don't worry too much, I'm easily annoyed.

If we're talking primarily about taste, I just recently tried a whole bunch. I found that I like the Promax bars probably the best. The VPX zero impact tasted awful, the ISS Oh Yeah! bars tasted like a Baby Ruth candy bar to me, and the new Detour Oatmeal bars tasted a lot like an Odwalla bar.

Whats an Odwalla bar??..never heard of those...how are they?..

EdgarAllanPoe · 09-15-2007, 09:26 PM

detour and pure protein bars are all i eat....affordable, and have the low sugar bars.

RIPcookiethief · 09-15-2007, 09:37 PM

Chef Jay's Tryoplex bars are like bricks of bread. But, at 430 or so calories each it's pretty good for 2$.

I wouldn't say I liked them, but....it was passable.

IrockZ · 09-15-2007, 09:44 PM

tri o plex bars disgust me... as does that fat **** himself Chef JAy lol. i had a vpx bar last week because it was all i could eat for like 7 hours and i was sincerely disappointed with its horrid dry texture and overall lack of taste.. sustain still my favorite.. but im still cuttn so protein bars right now are off limits..
