Best Overall Protein Bars?

[INGENIUM]

I will take the snickers and tuna just for the absence of sugar alcohols

Snickers + tuna

sugars - 28g
protein - 37.6g

But the cookie bar tastes better than the snickers.

The quality of a bar is in the ingredients, not the macros. Designer Supplements Sustain Bar and VPX Zero Impact are good choices. People will call me a DS "shill" but in reality I had direct say in our decision to make the Sustain Bar, and as such I believe in it enough to stand behind it and its ingredient profile. I'm no fanboy like the others here, but in the same breath, I don't get paid more if we sell 2 Sustain Bars or 200. I recommend them because they are well made, affordable, and delicious. If they don't fit your macros, don't eat them, but at least don't fill yourself with inferior ingredients......get some whole spelt bread and chicken breast.

I'm glad you like the Sustain bars - the order I placed today included a box of their Vanilla Almond bars (sounded a little more unique than Fudge or Peanut Butter). Picked up a box of MHP's Macrobolic Bars (Crispy Peanut Caramel) and a box of the Labrada Cookie Bars (Oatmeal Apple Cinnamon). I figured they'd be an OK treat now and again once my caloric intake (especially carbs) is going back up soon.

Its the closest thing to a damn candy bar without being called one

I know what you mean, but its still not exactly a candy bar.



How is it a "bit" of protein, when its 30g?..Thats alott for a protein bar. And that snickers and tuna excuse is lame, because that excuse can be used for almost anything, and only because of the "tuna". Snickers is CRAP, the labrada is not the worst thing in the world. I know it AINT NO SUSTAIN BAR, which i love, and do consume frequently, but its a treat, and is no wheres near catagorized with ZI and Sustain Bars.Im obviously not a rep, nor am I a person that consumes these bars daily, ive had them once, and I am just annoyed by the way you always put things down like that...whats the need for it?...Its only a "Treat".

[ZDub212]

Why promote something that is quite literally a candybar with a bit of protein? A snickers bar + a can of tuna is cheaper and better for you, and the Snickers tastes better.

I'm only promoting the flavor, as I believe they taste better than most candy bars.

I don't like the idea of protein bars in general, so I wouldn't recommend them to people in most cases, unless it was going to be a cheat/treat.

If people plan on replacing meals with protein bars...then Sustain/VPX ZI/PBL Omega are good choices, but then again, replacing meals with protein bars is a poor choice to begin with.

[zkid002]

Um, child, you ask about protein bars a couple times a day.....yesterday you asked if people sub them for DINNER! How am I supposed to know how often you consume them?

Snickers ingredients are just as solid as the cookie bar, IMO. Actually, the Snickers contains less calories, less artifical ingredients, and doesn't market itself to a health conscious crowd.....I am less offended by them.

Alright, Ok, I see what you're saying, my bad, im sorry, all forgiven.

I love the Passage to India. Many of my friends don't like Indian food, so I can very rarely get someone to go w/ me.

If you're buying, I'll meet you there

Lol. We should definitely do that sometime.

I got a Lean Body Cookie Bar to try (Choc-Oat-PB) nuked it for 10 seconds and the first bite wasn't to bad but I wasn't much impressed, so I tossed the rest of the bar and made a chicken sandwhich, and I used to love eating protein bars... guess clean foods changed that a bit.

Hit me up...we shall enjoy

Clean foods are king...I'm surprised you didn't like the flavor, you should try nuking it on both sides.

I just like the regular old Power bars =\

I like the Triple Threat Powerbars, as they have a good amount of fiber in them and not a lot of sat. fat. I really enjoy the chocolate peanut butter one (or something like that name).

[GLB]

What's the healthiest protein bar I can buy that isn't too expensive, does not have a lot of fat or sat. fat, is pretty clean, isn't loaded with a lot of carbs or sugar, and will make for a great snack?

That a LOT to ask for. The only bars like that I guess would be PBL Omega Bars, but they don't taste any better than OK.

I like the Universal Protria Bars myself - all three flavors taste great to me.

I had their Blueberry Protein bar the other day, it was really good!

I'd say make your own or VPX Zero Impact Protein Bars. Taste great, semi-filling, low insulin spike impact. I say these are great for bulking due to around 500 cals/bar, so not IDEAL for cutting...

South Beach Diet Meal Replacement Bars.

I got a GREAT idea! Maybe... just maybe... we can break the bars in half or in any fraction we desire thereby controlling the caloric content ourselves and even INCREASING the number of bars we have.

Holy ****! That must be that 174 IQ going to work.

Good call on the Zero Impact bars, I think. I just stocked up on 4 boxes of the Pumpkin Supreme. They're a little on the dry side, but I like the unique taste.

Very low quality bar

Curious, why?

[Tussmann57]

Very low quality bar

the smaller versions have no collagen for protein, the larger 31 g versions do.

The ones i buy are pure, whey, milk, and casein isolate,


0 sugar
20 g protein
170 cals
6 g fat

best bar ever.

[steve009]

[Tussmann57]

I will opt for a shake instead of a bar anyday plus I would opt for a bar with natural ingreidients like the Sustain bar

[jetre]

Hands down: VPX Zero Impact Peanut Butter chocolate

I've tried many bars and most of them are crap. Look at the ingredients on the back and you'll find you won't beable to recognize half of them. The simpler the ingredients the better the product.

This isn't always the case, however my mothers a dietition and believe me I get a lot of sh#t if I do not consume healthy foods. Especially coming from a meal replacement protein bar. Check it out!!!
