I eat Alot of Protein Bars because that is all i get time to eat during the day.. I sometimes grab a salad, but i usually dont have time.. I work in surgery so i am always on the go.. To get all of my meals in I rely heavily on the protein bars.. Just need a little help finding one that will not leave me hungry and help out gaining and maintaing muscle.. Thanks guys..

Taken from the recipe links sticky:
Protein bar recipe thread, by Iron Draggin

Have you checked out the protein bar thread here? There are a ton of great recipes! Plus they don't have all that processed crap that you'll find in most protein bars at the store. If you are interested in bars that are low-carb, you can replace almost any recipe that calls for whole wheat flour with almond or pecan meal, which consists of mostly healthy fats and protein

I'm actually going to make this recipe from "Gourmet Nutrition" tonight.

1/2 cup pecan meal
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup natty pb
1/3 cup flax meal
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 whole egg, 1 white beaten
6 scoops choco whey
1/4 tsp salt

Bake for 12 min at 350'F
6 servings
396 cals
33 grams protein
12 grams carbs (5 from fiber)
26 grams fat (13 grams from monounsaturated, 8 from polyunsaturated)

I'll probably adjust some of these ingredients, probably not quite as much meal in my recipe, and instead of splitting in up in 6 servings, I'll split it up into 10

If you're replacing *2* meals with it, I'd replace it with any 2/3/400 calorie bar you can find for a good price, depending on your macros

I wish my schedule allowed for that.. I tried to pack a lunch before I went into work. Honestly I didnt have time to get to it.. I work in surgery and alot of the times I am in the OR for 6-8 hours at a time. I work 4 days a week.. On my off days..
I eat in the mornings..
6 egg whites.. I usually get some yogurt..
I will have a shake mid morning.. Lunch usually consists of 2 chicken breasts baked potato with low fat cheese and a green veggie..
Mid afternoon. usually grab a protein bar..
and dinner usually fish or chicken or lean turkey and a green veggie.. a grab a spoonful of peanut butter after that..

It just the days at work I have encountered these problems..
