High calorie protein bar that doesn't melt?

Tallbill · 09-01-2007, 11:01 PM

Looking for something atypical here. I'm in a situation where I won't be able to keep drinking Cyto Gainer for about a week or two (space is highly limited) so am looking at finding some high calorie protein bars that don't melt easily.

You may want to look into something like a high quality granola or Trail Mix

agreed

just buy one of those mixed nuts bags with added oats/grits... works a treat...

why cant u just put a serving of protein in a sealed bag? what is making you cease protein supplementation?

I dont want a big bag of food for multiple reasons. I need something in small amounts, and individually wrapped. I don't have the space for a few tubs of weight gainer, and I dont want bags of food packed into my bags and smashed around a broken open. I also don't want to invite pests into a tent with 30 other guys.

Those look like something that would get all gooey and nasty if subjected to some heat.

Hmm...well, the Met-RX Big 100 cookie dough bar seems to melt less than their chocolate coated bars, but be warned: even when it's not very hot, the cookie dough bar is still pretty sticky. also, the taste isn't so great after a while.

^^ hell yeah, I have some of those that I eat while Im at school. They last in my car even when it gets incredibly hot. They never have melted on me.

While I have never exposed the VPX Bar to extreme heat, I have had it in a pocket for a few hours and it didnt really melt. I did notice that alot of oil was on the wrapper, so some of the fats did seperate. You could always bring a small cooler or cooler type lunch box and stash a bunch of bars in there with an icepack or two. That would keep them from getting too hot and wouldnt take up a ton of room.

SHaker bottle, protein in a little ziplock, add water, better for you and no worries about melting. Plus better nutritionally over any bar

hey bros, keep in mind most any fat goes rancid when exposed to extreme heat...

VPX Zero Impact bars do not have a coating that melts, therefore they do not melt in heat. When they sit in the car for a while, they just get warm and soft sortof like a nice brownie.....mmmm.....oh yeah, not to mention the nutrient profile is off the charts as far as quality ingredients. Check out some of the latest reviews on them, there have been two or three this past week.

Sounds good, I'm going to give them a try.

Oh, and lol to everyone in the thread that has suggested something other then what I'm looking for.

You have to try tri-o-plex this thing is huge. I used to buy them if you don't mind a chalky texture these are for you. Go with choc. coconut out of cookie dough, and apple I thought it was the best http://www.chefjays.net/

Well the VPX bars survived just fine. I'm finally eating them. Taste is meh, but its a good quick 500 calorie snack.

Death From Above · 10-07-2007, 08:15 AM

vpx zero impact, this is a huge reason why i buy them, they have 450 calories and dont melt in my backpack, or anywhere for that matter, and taste great.
