Title: Protein bars today are sub par
Post by: muscleman-2013 on April 17, 2014, 05:44:11 AM
35 years ago there were some high quality bars on the market, but nowadays they are made of rubbish.  All marketing BS.

Yep, the "protein" listed in protein bars is primarily made from gelatin and collagen and other low quality shit. You would be better off eating hooves and horns.

I enjoy these as well.  I feel like they taste too good to be "good" for me though.

True Adonis is the local expert on these topics.

Remember buying a protein bar once a few years back. Tasted like rubber and each bite required a minute or two of chewing. Can't remember the brand though.
First and last time I ever brought one.

I buy them to carry around on my weaponry belt at the gym and look hardcore.

The technology has improved and protein bars are a much more pleasant eating experience than they were years ago.  Read the label.  Find ones with the whey or casein listed first.

Caveat emptor... many are simply candy bars with protein added to it.

Quest or Zero Impact are good. Not as good as food, but pretty damn good

Agreed.  The "accidently" 1/4 unzipped fanny with just enough protein bar sticking out is an art that few can master.

Fortunately, for me, wes showed me the technique.

protein is highly overrated anyway. bodybuilders overfeed themselves all the time.

So they're not up to bar?

Egg is the best source for protein bar none.

Weird how you're always commenting critically on shit you know nothing about

Also odd that you would call anyone and effete f a g g o t considering that you're the self appointed Martha Stewart of this board who seems to spend the majority of the day in the kitchen wearing apron and baking cookies

it's such an obvious projection of your own profound insecurity that it's not even funny anymore but just sad and pathetic

how do they taste?

they taste like bacon beef jerky (although not at all tough like jerky)

it's basically food and not anything resembling a processed protein bar.

The ingredients are bison, bacon, dried cranberries, lactic acid, celery powder and salt

My brother brought me some when he was here (he lives in Austin) but I buy them online (though Bison Bacon is currently sold out)

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Yes, because Bison meat and Bacon (made with nitrates, salt and preservatives/processed)  is shelf stable without added preservatives, hence processing.  ::)

Moron.

I already went to their site.  Its clear that the meat has to be processed and preserved.  Hope this helps.

when did I say they weren't "processed or preserved"

It's dried meat and dried fruit you dipshit

I don't give a shit if it helps you or not

clearly your self esteem is so damaged that you're well beyond help

that must be a dunce emoticon

I said they didn't resemble processed protein bars not that they weren't processed

All protein bars, powders etc.. are processed.  Shit ground beef is processed

I never said they weren't "processed" and I certainly didn't say they weren't "preserved"

Are you truly this fucking stupid

btw - all I said in my first post was that this was the only protein bar that I liked these days

You seem to have a weird need to attack others without any provocation

that's usually a sign of extremely poor self esteem which is pretty fucking obvious from your posts

I feel most sorry for the bison.  He would be angry if he knew he was inside a shitty protein bar, consumed by a limp-wristed imp.

Quest bars are so good, but i do question their nutritional values for sure

they're super easy to make, and a lot cheaper it's literally 3 ingredients
vita fiber
a scoop whey
2 tbs almond flour
