Quest Bars = magic!

[Thong Maniac]

They say net carbs at 3g per bar...
Since they have like 17g unsoluble fiber. When low carbing is this ok, or do they still illicit a mega insulin response eventhough they only have 1g of sugar or less

[NaturalWonder83]

The cookie dough ones lately have been odd tasting and hard to open!

[ritch]

I've eaten them while dieting, always stayed lean, I'd make 2 quest bars as one of my daily meals even. Never thought I'd get tired of them, ever. But eventually did. I threw out the equivalent to about 5 boxes not long ago.

[Rambone]

Love Quest bars, but I've laid off of them recently and only use them for pure convenience instead of eating them daily in between meals. They taste pretty damn good especially if you put them in the microwave for a few seconds. I get 50g or more of fiber a day through my regular diet, so I kinda wish these bars didn't have so much of it, but I know it's basically its base and makes the bar what it is.

[Coach is Back!]

We sell them in the gym. Try baking them for about 5-10min at 350.

[POB]

fart bars are the best! Take them before a hot date for best results!

Do u think they spike insulin though? Can you eat a couple a day while stayig low carb?

[milone79]

lol only 4g of carbs my ass look at how sweet they are ad LOL at claiming  so much fiber...wasn't there a class action lawsuit filed last year against their bogus  claims??

[thegamechanger]

i dont like to chew on bars

[Mr Anabolic]

Pure garbage.  Eat real food.

Real food doesnt taste nearly as good as cookie dough quest bro

I was told last week they're still fighting the lawsuit. Doesn't look good for them at all.
I tried keto dieting while eating these bars and it didn't work. There's no way your insulin doesn't spike when you eat that garbage. Sure, they taste great, and I'll eat a few while bulking/not caring what I eat, but if I'm getting on stage or even getting in shape for the beach I'm not touching these bars with a 10 foot pole.

it's not, it's an imo fiber, it doesnt get digested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomaltooligosaccharide

Buy your own vitafiber and make your own, it's a 2\3 raio of whey\vitafiber for homemade questbars

did you test your BS levels before making this statement?

[WannaBePro]

did you test your BS levels before making this statement?

Nope. Just going by how I felt/what I looked like. I cut them out of my diet and almost instantly started holding less water. I also notice when I get kicked out of ketosis I'm dragging ass in the gym, but while in ketosis my energy levels are stable. I don't buy into "net carbs" if you want to lower carbs stop eating shit that has carbs in it. Yes, fiber is important, and I get plenty from broccoli, asparagus, and romaine lettuce. If you are allowed to have a certain amount of carbs a day then I'm sure quest bars are just fine to fill those requirements. I also wish their labels were accurate, when calories don't add up its not a good sign.

[viking1]

Those bars break teeth.  You burn extra calories trying to chew on them.

so an extra 35 gr of so said carbs and you notice more water? The calories of 2 bars are damn low. Anyway, I felt great when eating them, not sure if it was from sugar as you suggest or just feeling so good because I was happy to eat them while cal restricted.

Will be interesting to see what becomes of this. If they lied, fuck I'll be dissapointed and never trust any bar company again, ever.

I have nothing against people eating the bars, and if they feel good on them and they don't stall their progress, then great! For me, I'd rather stick to real food and if I need a sweet treat I'll have plain greek yogurt with WF pancake syrup. But I don't have much of a sweet tooth to begin with, I'm a sucker for savoury/fatty foods, which is perfect when keto-ing

dont buy net carbs? where'd you get your doctorate from again?

[Thong Maniac]

Lolllll

[WannaBePro]

Lol no doctorate, just personal experience. Again, YOU can believe the net carbs thing if that works for you. I simply can't. I get at least my minimum fiber intake for the day out of greens and the rest is proteins and fats when dieting. I just don't find the need to eat processed food when trying to get as lean as possible. As much as I'd like to believe that IMO fiber + whatever sweeteners they use don't cause an insulin spike, from personal experience that hasn't been the case.

[Overload]

I haven't eating a "bar" in years.

They are tasty though.

Coach is right, warm them up in the oven for 5 minutes and they are easier to consume.

how is a quest bar "processed food" all natural ingredients here, or am I  missing something?

[TheShape.]

They are awesome for quick protein when I can't stop and eat a meal at work.
