Meal Replacement Bar

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/11/17, 07:38 AM Can anyone give me a good option for a meal replacement bar? I have to take a 6 hour roadtrip on Friday, and I dont want to screw up my diet. I have been so good for 2 weeks. I find that when I go on road trips is when I start straying from my diet.

However, in my current disorganised state the best tasting bar I can't remember. I'd kept the wrappers to see how they compared. If I find it I'll post and let you know.

	2004/11/17, 10:27 AM My experience with protein bars has been that they are loaded with sugar. I haven't heard of meal replacement bars but then again, I'm an idiot. I have packed a lunch every day for 15 years. Is that an option? Also if you have to eat along the interstate, Subway is everywhere and is the least evil of the fast food joints. -------------- I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol Charlie

In fact now that I thinnk about it, I can eat subway before I leave, get to my destination in 2 1/2 hours, have subway while I am there and turn around and come back home.

I'd have to be in a real pinch in order to actually eat a store bought protein bar. Oh and "meal replacement bar" is a real term ; ) I have a recipe for one of those to, pretty sure it is also posted in this forum. If ya don't want to bother looking let me know and I can e-mail some recipes to you. -------------- Damselfly Quit being a sheep, they only get led to slaughter
