Protein bars are like glorified candy bars...a bit extra protein with a crappier taste and way more expensive. Honestly man, try to get your calories and macros from real food. Eat a sandwich or some peanut butter...or a peanut butter sandwich!

If you are set on getting protein bars, the Colossus 100's and Met-RX bars, as well as Pure Protein are the ones with a taste I could stand. However, fair warning...a lot of protein bars also contain sugar alcohols, which if consumed too much, can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. I used to eat like 2 a day and I had diarrhea for weeks!

I have yet to find a protein bar (store bought) that is not loaded with either saturated fat, or sugar. However, I live in Canada and variety in the market tends to be slim here.

How about in the states...?
Obv. home made is best, but I'm interested to know if there are any - truly - healthy protein bars on the American market.

The closest I have seen on this side of the border is some diabetic meal replacement bars, which were - of course - stupidly expensive.

My favourites / suggestion if you have to do a bar is to go for Quest Bars... VERY tasty - and essentially made of nuts + whey + fibre.

[vicbeatz]

So there we have it "Quest BARS" Are essentially the best ones we can think of right now.
But i like the person who put the link up there, I think i might try to make my own bars.

Im still curious if anybody else has any suggestions, keep em coming (:

[desslok]

VPX zero impact are good. Never tried the quest ones but hear good stuff about them.

Awsome thanks! another good one. (:

quest bars have the best macros and they taste pretty good too. especially when warmed up

[SugarFree1]

Quest Protein Bars are the only ones I've ever seen that do not include ANY sugar, sugar alcohols or other junk ingredients.

Also have to add that they have not prevented my weight loss at all and I have eaten them while cutting all the way down to 8% body fat.

I know i'll be opening a can of worms here, but what's wrong with having some sugar?

[schabowy90]

supreme protein bars /thread

the orange wrapper, i think its like caramel crunch or something.

AMAZING SRS. just expensive

Not at all... We each have different types of diets that we prefer. As for me, I'm very carb sensitive and I know even a little sugar alcohol in regular protein bars is enough to stall my weight loss progress.

[PBateman2]

Quest or Supreme protein bars.

[smz08]

I really love Detour's lower sugar bars. The smaller ones offer you 15g of protein for 170 calories, and the larger ones are 30g for 340 calories. They're definitely the best tasting brand I've ever tried (especially their chocolate chip flavored one). The only thing is, they melt very easily.

[DMCa1N]

Try this my friend, not my creation but I one everyday.

1 scoop whey
2tbsp peanut butter
1 egg white
Splenda and cinnamon

Mix in coffee cup and microwave 20-30secs. Bbbboooommmbbbbb.

Cal-373 carb-11 protein-37 fat-27

[FunkymonkAW]

VPX
Quest
make your own
buy a candy bar, and down a protein shake if you need to fill your macros

In order of personal preference

You dumb as hell.

[aukatrau]

I've had lots of good success eating the "Pure Protein" bars. The MetRX big 100 cookie crunch is also nice. The ones that taste the best to me are "Supreme Protein" bars, the one in the orange wrapping and the PB&J ones are the best.

You want to step up your gastro-fu, add a little nutmeg with the cinnamon....BAM

Saw that site a while back, but I didn't want to have to moonlight as an exotic dancer just to afford protein bars.
