Protein bars as an alternative snack?

**RedJune** · 10-13-2012, 01:48 PM

Sometimes i can't resist grabbing a metrx Protein bar.. Topping at 400 calories, what do you think about them?

if they fit into your macros, knock yourself out.

Protein bars are never a bad idea.

check out Oh yeah protein bars, not as many calories like 14g of protein...best tasting ones hands down. not as much protein but probably enough

if you're bulking it's never bad.

Oh yeah! bars are amazing, the PB chocolate ones are pretty much exactly like reeses sticks, srs.

I've been eating 2-3 Quest bars a day recently, been so busy that i just grab them in the morning and chow. Theyre 20g protein and anywhere from 160-210cals, so really easy to work into my macros.

not worth the $For the same macros you cuold eat 160cals of chicken and 250 cals of a borwnie/ice cream/whatever

If you can afford it then sure. I don't find protein bars too satiating for the macros they provide and the good ones (Quest bars) cost almost as much as a home cooked meal.

oh yeah bars are quite expensive over here,but taste wise they are awesome (caramel cookie crunch,peanut butter,creamy vanilla caramel)
macros are decent,i think ~30c,~15f,~28p with 300-400 cal each (85g size)
but dont try almond fudge brownie...awful texture and taste

Make your own protein bars, you can get better macros and flavors easily; not to mention it costs so much less. There's a whole thread filled with protein bar recipes and most are really good.

If you're cutting, and it fits your macros, it's never bad either.

They are perfectly fine to have if they fit your macros, and wallet.
I personally don't find them to be worth the money and the calories.
