Protein bars saturated fat

[absntaxes]

Can anyone recommend a good quality protein bar that is low in saturated fat? Thanks in advance.

I've totally given up on protein bars. I cannot find one that A) has the correct makeup of macros I want and B) tastes good.

These are the ones I eat. 30g of protein per bar. Not sure what you consider low fat, but they have 9g per bar, 6g of it saturated. Also pretty high in carbs. Not something I'd recommend for dieting, but they taste awesome and are great for bulking.

I don't really care for the Almond Fudge, but the other two are about the best protein bars I've tasted.

There is a bodyspace member, Shannan (http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/shannan), who created a brand of protein bars called QuestBar. They are low in saturated fat.

I have not tried them, yet, but from the recipes on her blog she is all about adding taste to nutritional meals. (Made a few involving broccoli that were really good, but that's probably because I love broccoli.)

Just thought I'd throw that one out there.

Can't think of others low in saturated fat off the top of my head. If you want to know of a handful with a ton of sugar and taste like candy, I got you covered!

9g of saturated fat in the large bars with 30g of protein, 4.5g of saturated fat in the small ones 15g of protein:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe there has ever been a study to prove saturated fat is bad for you. It's a myth.

I like Mr. Google too, but prefer the precise feedback of fellow bodyspace members. Thanks to those who replied.

fat is bad for you if your on a carb diet in terms that the carbs and fat mixed together promotes fat storage, however, if your on a keto diet(fat diet) then you must remove carbs from your diet and eat fats as a source of energy then the fats are good for you. but this forum is a carbs type diet forum so fats is bad for you in that sense/respect.

Apologies. I'm just interpreting the OP wanting a bar low in saturated fat because he believes saturated fat is bad (given he isn't saying he wants one just low in fat period).

I guess the OP should really specify the reason he wants a bar low in saturated fat first

Boundless Nutrition, Austin, Texas makes a good small bar with only 2g of saturated fat, 14g protein, 300mg of DHA/EPA and 150mg Green tea antioxidants. I really like the mint chocolate chip one.
