Detour bars

mattwilson Posts: 54 Joined: 2003/02/27	2003/03/21, 12:19 AM I am now using Detour Bars as a protein bar, and I have to say that the taste is awesome(as long as you like a snickers bar). I was just wondering if it is a good bar to take, though. Right now I am using Mega Isolate as a protein shake(50 grams of protein in one serving). What would the recommended daily intake on these items be for me? I get about 140 grams of protein, but I think I need more. Thanks a lot ---------------------------- Pain is weakness leaving the body

I wouldn't suggest however that you only try to get that protein in shakes. Chicken, cottage cheese, top/round sirloin and milk are good forms of protein. Maybe 2 shakes a day?
