Protein bars

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2003/12/21, 04:22 PM Anyone try the Labrada Lean Body Gold bars? I had the caramel almond fudge bar. Went to the Blues game last night, and meal time fell within this time. This bar matched my meal for this time fairly closely. Very tasty too. Pretty decent ingredients, 30 gr. of protein(Whey Isolate, Cassein, Soy Isolate, Calcium Casseinate. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

They have 30g of protein and only 1 gram of sugar if you get the chocolate coconut. Since I am diabetic I love them a protein bar that isnt going to kill my control. -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

You do want 5-6 meals a day usually breakfast, lunch, dinner being the largest and then 2-3 more inbetween those meals. This is where a protein bar would be ideal. Don't think that a protein bar could replace one of the bigger meals. It all depends on what kind of diet your are on too. Also, I wouldn't rely on protein bars as an inbetween meal that much...while some may be high in quality protein like the one BB1fit mentioned above, many are filled with junk. They can also be pricey.

jcannuck Posts: 210 Joined: 2004/01/31	2004/02/02, 07:01 PM I'm into Tri-o-plex bars lately, they all have 30+ gs of protein, but they are a little high in fat, about 7 gs. Out of all the bars I've tried, however, these ones rule in the taste category.
YodelingAdam Posts: 111 Joined: 2002/12/30	2004/02/08, 03:24 PM Just got some of the Lean body gold bars carmel almond fudge flavor. Whoa, these are extrememly good. I'm trying to save them for times when I can't get a good meal but it's hard to resist. I also got some Optimum Nutrition complete protein diet Mint Chocolate for 15 dollars or so. It comes with 15 bars each containing about 20g pretty high quality protein...alot of protein isolate instead of wpc. Anyway, the first initial taste is like girl scout mint chocolate cookies but the after taste is pretty bad. However, for the price and the quality protein, its worth it. Just a heads up for anyone looking for protein bars. If you have the money, go for the lean body gold bars, cost roughly 20-24 bucks online after shipping if you shop around. I got mine from dpsnutrition.com

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/02/09, 11:07 PM Yeah, those Lean Body Gold bars, the caramel almond fudge are killer!! GNC has them now, but of course they are way overpriced. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

YodelingAdam Posts: 111 Joined: 2002/12/30	2004/02/11, 11:55 PM What are the ingredients for the 25 cent bars? If it starts out with WPC, thats whey protein concentrate. While this isnt bad, the high quality protein bars/shakes are ones that start off with isolates (ie: whey protein isolate, soy protein isolate). I think it has something to do with the absorbtion process. Isolates have the highest absorbtion. For instance, your body may only absorb 25g of a 30g protein bar/shake that is mostly Whey Protien Concentrate. But for 25 cents, even if it is mostly WPC, its still a good deal. next thing you need to look at is sugar
