Best Overall Protein Bars?

**xpect** · 07-03-2005, 06:36 AM

Pure Protein Bars... they actually taste pretty good. S'mores is my favorite, but the Strawberry and Blueberry aren't far behind. If I have to travel for work, I usually grab a few for the plane and late night snacks at the hotel.

My opinion on this is that looking strictly from the nutritional value(and not taste), ISS Research Pro42 bars would have to be at the top of the list, and they are the top selling bars. They have 1g of sugar for 380calories. Its almost like a complete meal replacement without gaining sugar fat.

Most other bars have like at least 10grams of sugar for that caloric intake.

Does anyone think that having sugar in the bar is good at any time, and why?

hmmmmmmm?

I'll start out with a smilely to let you know im being freindly righ tnow

lol. but i've been getting bitched at by some about eating protein bars taht werent homeade so i wasn't sure why an admin would post this? in fears of everyone bitching that is

so im not gonna be a hypocrite but i'll just say that most bars are poopy and homeade bars (which im gonna made right quick soon here) are better

MesoTech are pretty good. They fill you up and don't have that dry, protein taste.

Does anyone not like the protein bars from Premier Nutrition? they are pretty cheap at costco... 24 bars for $19.99 i think... those are my favorite but then again, i havent tried many other brands...

Soy is evil!

Universal's Animal Snak is best I know.

**Abu Misho** · 07-11-2005, 06:21 PM

i realy don't believe in protein bars,you can just buy a tube of protein for a higher quality and much lower price.but we have different life-styles,so if you NEED to take a Protein Bar,i suggest "SSUSA Triple Delicious Bars" because it has 30g of protein,1g of sugar (!!),a great taste, and for only 1.00$$ for bar!!

MetRx Pure Protein Fire roasted peanut...

Same here man, whenever I feel the need to "munch" on something sweet tasting, I take one, but I try not to make a habbit of it. VERY Good tasting!

**feeler76** · 07-18-2005, 04:08 PM

MET-Rx Double chocolate!! mamammammmm

**BIGGRNYU** · 07-18-2005, 04:54 PM

I also like Labrada's microwaveable one...cookie bar or something...

Me too....they're sooo good!!

i just make sure to avoid protein bars that include: high fructose corn syrup, partially hyrdrogenated soybean oil, and soy protein. check your ingredients because almost all the bars have this crap in them!

**Charuto222** · 07-21-2005, 08:15 AM

No need to freak out over soy protein. Studies have been showing for years that up to 50 grams of soy protein per day can be consumed without affecting yoru testosterone or estrogen levels.

I would have to say that Labrada's Cookie bars are the very best I have ever had

**RippedVanWinkle** · 07-21-2005, 10:48 AM

Met-RX Protein Plus...chocolate roasted peanut. 330 cals, 32 g protein...for those of you bulking, highly recommened

**FEARandLOATHING** · 07-22-2005, 10:15 AM

Met-Rx taste like sheaaaat. I like Balance and Detour bars. Detour taste like candy, so it's GOT to be healthy ;>)

**djbaseball24** · 07-23-2005, 12:17 AM

how many grams of protoien does a good protien bar have anything over 20g good? 25?

**ebone45** · 07-23-2005, 02:30 AM

Labrada's microwavable cookie bars and Promax cookies and cream!!

**LiftingIsLife** · 07-23-2005, 06:21 PM

CLIF Builders.... chocolate..

best,
lifer

**jedibus** · 07-23-2005, 09:09 PM

Pure Protein's latest bar is the Peanut Butter Marshmallow Eclipse. I've tried it and it instantly became my favorite.

**soul_eraser** · 07-26-2005, 11:49 AM

I started out on detour bars. They tasted incredible, I will be the first to say that. Just check out the labels, around 30 g of sugars and anywhere from 5 to 7 grams of saturated fat and relatively little fiber. You're pretty much eating a snickers bar with a lot of protein added in. Most of the good tasting energy bars fall into this trap. When I started a cutting cycle, I went looking for a better bar, and I found Promax Oatrageous. About half the sugars of most bars (14 g), and only 2 g of saturated fat and 5 g of fiber. The remainder of the carbs are from oats which are a very good carb source. Taste is also quite good (peanut butter chocolate chip), though not nearly as potent as the detour stuff.

dont know if this has been posted yet, but its a good read if you're really interested in protein bar comparisons

I am going to have to say

Nitro-Tech (after workout recovery bar)

Meso-Tech (Meal replacement bar)

In my opinion these are Muscletech's only products worth purchasing, the Nitro-Tech protein supplements are nice I prefer ONs though.
