Quest Bar diet

[Shreddeddancer]

Is it possible to at least temporarily go on a quest bar diet only?

Say for a week or so

Would you be hungry?

Would you have enough energy?

Would you get enough nutrients temporarily if you were taking a good multi and drinking lots of water?

I love quest bars so much and want to try this

Might be good for a cut too

[eriquee]

Even if you manage to get your macro nutrients right, I believe you will be deficient in several micro nutrients.

[Shreddeddancer]

What would be missing?

What negative impact would it have on the way you feel?

[Former300lber]

That's a sh!t ton of fiber.

[TheLongRun]

You realize just 1 bar provides 15-20g of fiber, right? How many of those do you plan on eating? Are you willing to experience major gastrointestinal distress?
And lastly, why not a balanced diet including your favorite foods?

[headshot84]

I bet you dont make it past three days on bars alone.

I just meant temporarily for a week just to see how it goes

Seems like you wouldn't be hungry because of the protein

Not sure about energy level

Only concern is the fiber? Could that be dangerous?

The bathroom will be your best friend.

Why would you even want to try this? Not only the high fiber, but that would be damned expensive too.

[Jhuth13]

Think about it. If you tried to get 1600-2000 cals, that would be ~10 quest bars (depending on which), each of which has 17-20 g fiber. 200g fiber a day for a week? F that.

Make sure you're documenting your progress.
Report back after a week. Or your Angus stops working.

I did this unintentionally for 3 days. Typhoon hit here (okinawa). I was stuck in my office sleeping on the floor for 72 hours, with only bottled water and quest bars in supply. It gave me some stomach issues, and the taste began to decline quickly, but otherwise, I felt okay. I wouldn't say I lost weight, but then again it was only 3 days.

Do it in the name of science OP. Will rep.

micro deficient
wicked expensive
not satiating

I laughed. Thank you

^ This.
Why do you really want to do this? Are you just tired of trying to figure out meals that hit your macros? You know it probably costs a lot less to hire someone to write you a solid meal plan than to blow all of this money on a whole bunch of bars. And if the Lemon Cream Pie bar is in the mix you're really going to regret it.

I had 3 in one day while working a trade show, let's just say that two is the max amount of Quest bars you'd want to eat in a day

[flackoflacko]

this would be a great idea... if your goal was to eat nothing but processed food that has the consistency of play-doh.

Never had 3 before. Had 2 last night.... was debating a 3rd to fill some calories, but it would have put my daily fiber at >100g so I chose some chocolate instead lol

Man, I can't believe someone with an otherwise sophistiated palate still eats that fake cr@p. SMH man, SMH. Spend that $$ on some Valrhona or Michel Cluizel.

I really do like them though

It's quite literally the only processed food I still eat on a regular basis (unless you count dark chocolate, nut butters, etc...everything has got some form of 'processing')


edit: also, I've mentioned this before, but I think the price is easily justifiable. They're expensive sure, but protein as a macronutrient in general is expensive. You can get cheaper options (eggs, chicken, etc.), but I genuinely enjoy the taste of Quest, and getting all that fiber is additional benefit for the price. I also very rarely eat out, so spending $20 on Quest Bars for the week is easily justifiable when many people spend that on a single meal, multiple times a week


edit edit: I also haven't found Varlhona or Michel Cluizel in Canada :P

[ricklers]

2 Quest bar limit per day to avoid dem bloats, 3 is pushing it. 4 makes me not sleep well with all the fibrous rumblings.

[ShadowFox08]

eating nothing but quest bars is unhealthy and more expensive than necessary.

8 quest bars in a few hours is my record. I'm still alive, I'm healty and I continued to lose m
weight.

[thebencher900lb]

Thats a horrible idea.

[headshot84]

Side note.....you guys ever warm them up for 10-15 seconds ? Very good.
