Purpose of protein bars?

[Quagiroux]

Is there any point in protein bars, such as MP Combat Crunch, if I already take whey protein shakes for pre/post workouts. If there is a point.. What is it? When would it be worth it to eat a protein bar if I already have whey shakes pre and post?

[kissdadookie]

Convenience foods really.

[Rob1882]

Odd question - It's a snack bar essentially a protein candy bar, you don't need them but you don't need a lot of things.

As KDD mentioned convenience.



I find a lot of them to be very good tasting, some even better than actual candy bar's.

[InItForFitness]

Convienent and a much more balanced option nutrient wise than grabbing a candy bar.


Get yourself some Quest White Chocolate Raspberry bars.
Thank me later.

So basically just extra good tasting protein throughout the day?

Lot of great tasting bar's some are MRP, I like them for higher fat's something I struggle to get in and I can eat it while working.

Like Fit Crunch bars hnnnnnngggg

I actually have more than this atm lol

[LiftingLando]

It's just a solid way of getting a snack that is healthy and contains decent amount of protein. Are they required in the fitness industry? No but they offer a option other than powder/whole food to get your protein needs met.

I personally enjoy a protein bar on the go to help knock off hunger, while helping to meet my daily needs. Convenience more than anything though.

[MillerTime07]

As others said, its for convenience. The same as protein powder. Its not always easy to have meals prepped or to get enough protein from your diet alone. That is why people supplement. Protein bars can also be a nice change up if you are tired and need a quick meal.

[kissdadookie]

MetRX bars all the way. LoL.

I wouldn't expect you to have any less Rob What an awesome stash! Both of the flavors are absolutely delicious.

OP as already mentioned, protein bars are more of a convenience. I personally prefer them over protein powder.

[Rob1882]

MetRX bars all the way. LoL.

Not sure if srs but I like them!

Brah like 60 colossal on hand ;p I eat them for dessert sometimes that Apple Crisp O.o







^ The newest flavor and they are awesome



Pick them up everytime I see them for like 1$ each or less





^ My fav MRP bar tho

[DasBiceps]

MP crunch bars> all.

I much rather have protein bars instead of protein shakes

[chemo29]

I much rather have protein bars instead of protein shakes

this all day, everyday, twice on sundays

[BlueRev]

Convenience. Literally that's it.

[ajvitan]

Convenience. Literally that's it.

As blue noted just for convenience. I've lowered my protein and increased my carbs a bit so I've been going through these bad boys lately. They are super hnnnng. I usually have Quest, Victory, Irvine and Fitcrunch bars.

Of course I am serious. They have some of the highest amount of carbs. I don't know how people can stick with the practically no carb bars. Ok, maybe if you are cutting, I can understand, but it's like people whom love those Quest bars are cutting for the resr of eternity.

I tend to stick with Quest, and even then the selection is limited to basically WCR or Apple Pie as they're the only flavors that I really enjoy.
Some of the others are okay for random ocassions, but nothing I could stick with continously.


Same goes for about every other protein bar. Not sure why, but I just haven't found any that really suit my taste.
A lot of decent options out there, but nothing that's stood out for me.

[VicMackey92]

quest bar = bloated look for me

[Rob1882]

[burntreality]

I just like the peanut butter much more is all

In our house we have a divide.

But of course you had a box of the Cookies and Cream on hand for a picture... lol

I'm not even in it for the taste anymore, lol. It's all about the macros on that label for me. This constant eating + amount of stuff to put down has basically turned eating into a chore.

[TPAYNTER]

I like the way most protein bars taste and I figure they're a better alternative to eating a candy bar. But they aren't an essential
