Are there any Nutrition Bars....
« on: August 13, 2009, 06:21:51 AM »
...you can purchase at a store with a good amount of protein and fiber that don't have a lot of sugar or sugar substitutes that aren't too sweet that would be good for a fast breakfast?

Thanks

Yay! It's the lil' bitty baby STella!

 Try the VPX NON-Impact bar. Pumpkin Spice.

 Good amount of protein, good healthy fats and moderate slow burning carbs.

Here is the problem I see with most of the bars on the market:

1.  The protein is garbage.  Often you will find gelatin or soy as much of the protein make up.
2.  There is a lot of mailtol or sugar alcohols to substitute the carbs.  Too much of this is tough on the stomach and have a laxitive effect.
3.  There can be a lot of saturated or hydrogenated fats.

Its unfortunate but protein bars just havnt come along very far over the years.  If possbile Id suggest to use powders or RTDs if your intnetion of using the bar was to get extra protein on the run.

  I agree with Block--the pumpkin VPX bars are awesome.

  My current favorite is the Rocky Road Brownie from Supreme Protein. They're addictive.

I tried one of these.  There was a flavor of anise or something.

Looking for these next.  Are they available at GNC sold seperately?

the new powerbar protein bar is cool. its still made with half glucose half fructose and has high fat content, so its not anything for a dieter...but i feel like powerbar is probably trustworthy on the label claims, whereas most protien bars i highly doubt contain what they say they do.

what do you think about the universal bars they dont taste that good but they got alot of protein i think like 32 grams or so...

I'd say it's better then a "protein" bar with 20+ grams of sugar alcohol.
