Continuing to compile the recommendations of my support group members. This is a summary of the discussion about protein bars. For the rest of the discussion, see:
I personally have a set of strict rules when choosing a protein bar. I'll spend an hour in the protein bar aisle at the grocery store reading labels before choosing a new brand. Here are the rules:
- Less than 200 calories
- Must have more protein grams than carb grams
- No more than 9g sugar
- Be careful with sugar alcohols, some people have problems with these
- Fiber is good
The taste of protein bars is so subjective, that you'll have a dozen (or more) opinions about which brand is the best. Here are the ones mentioned at the meeting.
- Pure Protein Bars - Chocolate Peanut Butter
-- Chocolate Deluxe
-- S'Mores
- Chocolite Protein Bars - Triple Choc Fudge
-- Cookies-n-Cream

- South Beach Protein Bar - Peanut Butter
-- Cinnamon Raisin
