QUICK run out to the store and look at the protein bars Snickers has on the market. Don't look at the ingredients, just look at the name. OMG what were they thinking! I'm not gonna tell you here, its like spoiling a good movie. OMG.

"Pure Protein" makes some pretty good bars. They are low sugar. 3g's of sugars in my big bar im about to consume in 15 minutes

This is the brand I was talking about. Pure Protein.

I mix RAW oats, some peanut butter and muscle milk powder, you can mix with water if u don't need the cals, or mix with milk. Pretty good stuff.

The bars I recommend are I think there called BIG100 with red label. Cookie dough is a great flavor, they are rough of the sugar side though...

this is something you should be careful about. those bars are 400 cals and some containf HFCS while others dont. also the sugar content in those is somewhere around 40g if im not mistaking.

The same company just put out the line of protein brownies. it contains a little less sugar. 30g protien and a good amount of healthy fats.

i get the southbeach diet chocolate/pb protein bars.

i think myoplex makes some of the best tasting protein bars.. but they're usually more expensive.

always look at the following content on protein bars.

1.) sugar (you want this to be LOW)
2.) fat (want this to be LOW)
3.) protein (want this to be HIGH)
4.) calories (this number really depends on whether you're bulking or cutting, cutting = lower, bulking = higher)

I have tried a couple of bars most of em I get one of the three problems

Tastes like arse
has a gritty, sandy taste
is like chewing on leather

Cept Tiger Milk Bars aint like that...
Dont know if they are the best for ya but here are the stats on em

140 cals/1 bar
50 fat cals
protein 5g
total carb 19g (<1g fiber/13g sugars)
potassium 115mg
total fat 5g (sat 2g/trans fat 0)
0 cholest.
80mg sodium

if u wanna know the vitamins just ask I got the wrapper in front of me LOL

Those bars are a sad excuse for a protein bar. 13g of sugar is rediculous, I'd rather drink a redbull.

I'm assuming you're from America, go to Wal-Mart and look at the bars they have there, the ones I was talking about advertise on the front in the bottom right corner of the box about the sugar content.

A protein bar with high sugar is nothing more than an expensive candy bar.

100% agree

I don't really like any protein bars for the most part they are either high in saturated fat or high in sugar. So I stick with food and powder.
