Protein bars

[Nina]

Anyone here eat protein bars? If yes, which kind do you use? cant seem to find decent ones.

It is like candy bar..

I just use plain whey isolate powder, mix it with water, sometimes instant decaf, little sugar and vanilla = 30grams protein, quick and easy, twice a day for 60g extra.

You are so fast in marking something bad. Dont generalize everything so fast.
There are exceptions for everything.

I like those:
Clean Protein bars

I liked them bc they have a lot of isomaltooligosaccharide... (IMO) And only like 1-2g sugar.

Bro I was 10 years bodybuilder.. 99% of "protein" bars are from cheap soy, milk protein with garbage ingredients. So in that case some muesli bar is even better. Those decent like questbar etc.. are silly expensive..

Damn, I wish I could find a bar that good in the U.S.!

Lol! I was actually looking at those earlier today but i dont fully trust body & fitshop anymore after their whey scam.

+1 for quest bars. They keep me going in a pinch. Stevia instead of sugar. Great flavor

The mainstream bars are most likely same as the protein powders, a mix of everything, colors, sweets, chemicals. You get a protein bar with high carb and sugar content. Probably the best bar would be the home made one, using relatively more expensive powder with less additives, substituting the sweets for healthy fats from nuts for ex.

The quality of protein source that is used in average protein bars are far from whey protein which people are drinking. Most of the time it is some soy junk or some dried milk full of lactose and casein. Then you have bars like from questbar, where they use whey protein, but one is like buying 200g of good quality whey protein powder lol..

I agree that is why I prefer quest with whey isolate in the mix. Unless you are eating them constantly every day the price isn't really that bad all.

Probably too expensive for a long term solution imo

Looks like they try to feed the meat and milk eating sporting population some soy vegetarian stuff, undercover
All those bars are super good if you throw a few in the bag while on remote areas in the mountains- hiking, biking or in the city where there is real food choices but too busy to plan them.

In this case something like corny bar will do much better job + it is like 4 times cheaper than "protein" bar..

Corny is candy of choice for many health concerned all around, plus home made done in bulk (oats, caramel, chocolate) its fun too. Its true some chocolates stuff is burnt faster for energy when all day trailing, but ive noticed pretty good swelling in the quads after a protein bar, might be good for not wasting the muscles and recovery.

50g corny has 32g complex carbs, 18g sugar, 4g of protein, 5g of fat. This looks ok too me. If you are hiking or biking you need carbs, energy and not spinach salad and salmon steak..

Found a pack of questbars at the store today. They are pretty good but its basically a candybar with added protein. Still good tho

What part is candy, isn't it basically like zero sugar unless you mean it tastes like candybar?
