All these bars taste like shit.  Real food much better.

i just eat a snickers bar, most protein bars have the same amount of sugar and calories as them anyway, only with protein added.
i get plenty of protein from food, snickers or quest? no brainer really, they can keep their measly 20g of protein or whatever the hell it is.
probably soy, wheat or pea protein regardless.



What is bad about pea protein?

Quest has 0 grams of sugar...

much poorer amino profiles with pea and wheat.

i doubt quest has 0 sugar tbh
i don't know for sure, i was just referring to protein bars in general about the sugar but a quick search showed there'd been a lawsuit against quest hence the changeover to corn fibre

Some of my favorite bars, apple pie is very tasty and mixed berry bliss good too, don't know others... They tastes good to me, much much better than many other brands, some of the very best, but i discovered them recently so i don't know how they were before...

Gayer than considering the amino acid profile of your protein candy-bar.

LOL

so depending on which "industry standard" assessment they chose, the fiber was overstated between 50% and 1000% :D

sounds like the assessment methods are, perhaps, a bit flawed?

anyway, no surprise if quest is lying.  they're just gonna be under more scrutiny, naturally.  so many nutritional labels are obviously full of shit... half the time the numbers don't even add up correctly.

By the way people, anyone can claim what they want in a civil complaint and class action lawyers aren't exactly known for their integrity so let's stop treating the allegations in a lawsuit as fact.

I don't get the hate - I dig them. Not all flavors, but most are decent.

You're obviously not a nutritional guru walking around at 250 lbs with 6% bodyfat like the haters.

Detour bars, tri-o-plex bars now the quest bars and these Larry protein cookies.

First batch is to hook the consumers so they taste great then what happens is they quietly re-formulate using cheaper ingredients jack the price up a bit hoping the consumers eats the product with a bit of nostalgia in mind and doesnt notice it isnt the same.

Yawn.

Never had one of these.

Seem popular among the smaller guys.

Yep, I've never had one.

I prefer to get my macros through steak, potatoes, and whore pussy.

They changed the quest bar formula
They use corn fiber now
The bars taste like crap and are rock hard
I called to complain and they told me there was a mistake and they used the wrong protein
They are sending me 2 full boxes of the correct formula which I think is really cool of them - no questions asked, no receipt needed

It seems like they ruined the formula!

Hmm, I bought two boxes the other day and had the same problem. I called Quest up, told them the problem and they are going to replace the two boxes I bought and add another one for free. I was told that the protein that was used in their bars was a different type of protein and that's what caused the rock hard and just shitty taste.

With that said, it's pretty cool that they are gonna send me three boxes for free and they even paid the shipping cost. I can't argue with customer service like that.
