Best Overall Protein Bars?

[johnnystl34]

Meso Tech Complete (I know, I know) Apple cinnamon oat bars.

MET-RX MUD PIE FUSION

I have had my share of protien bars, and out them all there is one that I would recommend you try: MET-RX MUD PIE FUSION, it dosen't taste gritty, dosen't taste like someone dipped it in artificial sweetner, just tastes gooood.

TRY IT CANT BE BEAT,

I recently tried another kind. They're called Xtreme. I got the chocolate one. It has 30 grams of protein and 5 grams of creatine, and it tastes great!

MET-RX MUD PIE FUSION

good **** right there

[Blitz n destroy]

I think its undisputed now..VPX Zero Impact bars are the best bar by far. The chocolate chip pb tastes like cookie dough, the protein blend is unrivaled, as is the fat blend with sesamin and cla, and they use sweet potato and pumpkin along with oats as the carb sources. Nothing else like it on the market.

I'm gonna have to back Lex up on this one. I've tried out quite a few protein bars, and none come close to how delicious the MET-RX Mud Pie Fusion is.

I've tried a couple of bars over the years, but am sticking to Universal Nutrition's Hi Protein bars these days - the chocolate brownie flavour is quite tasty and satisfies my sweet tooth.

Nutritional Facts:

Fat - 6g ( 3g saturated )

Carbs - 33g

made up of

Sugars - 1g

and

Sugar Alcohols - 26g ( I'm a bit confused about the effects of this - there are tons of people who don't like sugar alcohols, but as far as I understand, they are not anything like sugars at all - and have negligible effects on insulin levels )

Protein - 33g!!

I'm cutting right now ( have lost about 30lbs, retaining most of my muscle ), and have been using these bars regularly whenever I don't have time to eat a normal meal. In my opinion, they are very good value for the money.

All I've got to say is be careful if you eat a bunch of sugar alcohols at once. For some people, they can cause gastric distress (laxative effect).

If I eat more that 10g at once, I'm on the thrown for a half hour with cramps.

Other than that, they are fine.

Here is some more info on them. Very popular with low-carb dieters...

without question, Next Detour Oatmeal Bars (choc. peanut butter)

[andkobe]

About a year ago I played on a college ice hockey team and a company called Neways gave us free supplement stuff. The only thing that i liked that they gave us was thier Maximum Force Chocolate Protein Bars. They actually taste like candy bars.

[Sixpack]

They prob were, most protein bars are candy bars

I don't think so justin, that's a bit too hardcore of an attitude. Protein bars have their place, though obviously they should not be abused. I used them during contest prep and had no problem getting lean

[Sixpack]

Well I do agree they are better then anything else, but some honestly are as bad as a candy bar, Just look for anyone with limited sugar for the most part in it. THe new VPX bars and AST bars are actually top notch .The sugar and protein is honestly is the only thing I really look at, the carbs etc if they are not from sugar I could really care less. For instance the Promax bars with have 30 some gs of sugar in is a bit much.In a rush etc they are fine but always its also easy to bring a shaker bottle with and just add water .

Sheesh bars are pretty good but i dont think they sell them here.

Also there are these Organic Food Bars. I just bought one from the Vitamin Shoppe, the blueberry one which does not have that much protein compared to their hi protein bar. It was very good.

Tried out one of the new VPX bars. Pretty good. Reminds me of the Labrada Cookie Bar without a funny after taste. The VPX bars aren't super sweet either, which I like.

[dhatcher]

I'm liking the Labrada Lean Body Cookie Bars.

Ordered some, popped one in the microwave and it came out pretty tasty.

[bigmuscleserik]

i agree, the labrada bars as well. I like the taste and it works well.

[johnnystl34]

Meso-tech (I know, I know) Complete Apple Oat bars. Great taste and texture, put them in the micro for 10 seconds...great when you have a sweet tooth!

[JustiNtense]

since my last protein bar tasted so bad (muscle tech nitro tech) i decided to get Oh yeah bars, they taste like baby ruths, no longer do I need a whole bottle of water to take in a protein bar.

[gorilla69]

lower in cals than most....and they taste by far the best..try the chocolate chip cookie one

[dvsness]

oh yeahs have sat fats, i liked the taste, but at what expense?
universal doctor's carbrite bars -
protein 18-22 g (depending on flavor)
fat 3-7 g
saturated fat 1-2 g
23-24 carbs (2 net impact)
sugar free
ignore the sissy name and try them - the teste is VERY good-
there are about a dozen flavors but i like chocolate raspberry and banana nut best.

[QUALITYGUY1]

MET-Rx Protein Plus...Choc Fudge Deluxe. Good value for a protein/MRB. Fat/Protein/Carbs = 9/32/32
A bit gritty, but I always drink something when eating almost anything, besides fruit that is.

[Jpw328]

has any one tried that

[Stevo1313]

27 grams of protein 4 grams of fat, .5-1.5 grams of saturated fat depending on flavor, and very filling.....cant go wrong.....o and they taste great

[QUALITYGUY1]

^^I tried the Big 100 Peanut Butter Cookie Dough flavor for lunch today...you are right, they are very good...I think I like them better than the Protein Plus for a protein/mrb.

[BIG_GUNZ666]

i would stay away from the met-rx protein plus bars anyway because of the fact that they contain trans fat

I'm holding a MET-Rx Protein Plus Choc Fudge Deluxe in my hand as we speak...the label indicates: Trans Fat 0g. I don't know what YOU are looking at?????????

[DRP7]

"NEXT DETOUR" caramel

this stuff tastes better than a snickers, has less than ca. 3 g of "net impact carbs" and ca. 30 g of protein (without gelatine!!!).
the very best protein bar I have tried so far!!!

[jaim91]

I second this! They have yet to make a bad flavour. My favourite, even though it has TONS of sugar, is the peanut butter/strawberry one. Tastes like the best Pb & j sandwich you've ever had
