I don't eat protein bars because I think that natural foods are best.

I eat a quest bar in emergency situations. They’re the best I’ve found, although they vary from batch to batch flavor wise. The chocolate chip cookie used to taste just like cookie batter, now I can’t eat it, but every once in a while I try a batch and it’s pretty good. Oatmeal cookie is usually pretty decent tho.

Regardless, I might have 4 a month... if that. I do have about a shake a day, but the rest comes from whole food

I keep some Costco protein bars in my locker at work for emergency’s. Taste pretty good for what they are. Trick is to spread some peanut butter on top, then they are bomb.

Peanut butter makes everything better!

If I do, I make my own. I have rarely found a bar that didn't taste like it was vitamin infused and dry as chalk. I'd rather just eat a regular candy bar like a Snicker or a Payday Smile

Manshit's picture

Payday is the bomb!The new redcon bars are actually very good and don’t taste like a vitamin bar.That being said they don’t taste like a payday!

If you need to grab a protein bar, pay attention to the type of protein in the bar as well as sugar, carbs, and calories. Stay away from bars using soy as a primary protein. I've found the Gatorade protein bars to be reasonably priced, tastes good, and has a good ratio of carbs to whey protein to make it a fair post workout supplement.

Dude I fuck with those cookies. Only a couple a month but in a pinch they’re the shit. My buddy in work is addicted to them. Calls them his secret weapon haha

That's so funny mate - Over here a Co-op is a convenience store where you buy things like crisps, cola, TV dinners etc! Is it a wholesale animal feed store over there? lol

Must admit I do love a good protein bar after a meal as a desert sometimes if you can find one that tastes like a good chocolate bar. Ones with added BCAA's and creatine are the most useful I find. I couldn't eat one on its own if I was hungry but as an added extra they are nice. The ones in the U.K are different to overseas in terms of availability though I guess.

can you please recommend that one with bcaas ?

As you can see, we've all been through protein bars.
In the end, however, clean food always wins. Eat healthy, grow and save money.

Here I am, man, I don't really understand your problem.

Can my opinion influence your self-esteem?

sunamcaxa's picture

I don’t have any problem, you said you all have been through protein bars, I thought it means you are more experienced and know shit better, its all because Im not new to bodybuilding but Im new to all things around bodybuilding, diet, how properly use gear and all that things, so again no problem here

You have been registered on the site for about two years now, but from this question I have a doubt, which is not very reliable.

Oh man they are sucks I hate protein bar it just bloated me and it make me farting everywhere I go
You can make your own protein bar healthier style never considered a meal it is snack

Bearded_muscle's picture

Only real food counts. If you want to enjoy it as a treat or a light snack that’s fine but like Rich Piana would say, it doesn’t count as a meal. As long as you get all your real food it’s fine to add on top of your current meals.

NEVER AS A SUBSTITUTE.

sunamcaxa's picture

I meant this only on top of current meal, when you are craving for sweet like snickers, not instead of meal, but when don’t have time to eat Im happy to have some bars on hand Smile

No , absolutely not. Real food works,.

ziabungle's picture

No. I make my shakes from mostly from oatmeal, bananas sylk high protein almond & cashew milk, whey isolate(plain no flavor) egg whites and peanut butter. All the fake stuff in protein bars is too much for me. Plus my body reacts better to food.

Manshit's picture

Fake stuff in protein bars?You do realize that almonds and cashews do not have tits right!

Manshit's picture

I was talking about him drinking almond and cashew “milk” and then Saying the bars have a lot of fake stuff.You know like almond milk.

Protein bars are good when you don't have the time to eat real food. nothing beats real food though if you can do it!

If not it's really hard to find a good bar that's high in quality protein and low in carbs and not full of fake ingredients!

GreatSpear's picture

They’re great for when you’re craving something sweet or are in a hurry. I eat the zone perfect macros bars and the lenny & Larry protein cookies.

I just looked for them. Good protein ratio.
The bars are 67g and that's why they cost a lot.
I've never tasted them but the fact that you don't really know what they are made of pushes me not to take them. They all look the same.

Those redcon mre bars are addictive!
