Protein bars....

Labrada caramel almond fudge is a tasty one with no or very little soy. Designer bars all have no soy also. ============ Quoting from lucky_muscles: I'd go with met-rx they have many diffrent bars and meal replacement bars if you want lower calories and high protein without sacrificing taste these bars are great. ============= -------------- Strength and Honor!

One of the lowest Fat/Calorie to Protein ratios of any of the protein bars -- 24 g of protein for only 5 grams of fat and 290 calories. Little heavier on the carbs at 38g. Tastes just fine. And very available (shoot -- you can probably pick them up at your local Osco Drug Store). -------------- "If we can change our thoughts, we can change the world." H.M. Tomlinson
