Protien Bars, Energy bars, ect.

I was wondering if anyone ever has these kinds of bars, and if they do, how are they and are they useful? I never really used them, but am thinking about it. Wanted yous guys feedback. Thnx

Energy bars are crap hey have like 10g protein in them which isnt anything. The only time I've ever used protein bars are if I'm going to a concert (Ozzfest, Metallica) and I won't be able to eat very well I just smuggle those in and if I get caught say I have diabetes... eat one of those inbetween meals they have about 30g protien...

Otherwise shakes are a LOT cheaper and have more protein.

All I've ever heard about them is they suck...do a search.

Crap.

~SC~

Protein bars are junk... Unhealthy fats, sugars, low-quality protein, BS labeling.... the list goes on.... And theyre expensive as hell too!

What about the big thick protein bars by Met-rx? Those things taste like crap and pack 30 grams of protein according to the label.

...according to the label. What kind of protein is it? Also, look at the ingredient list... I'll bet you've never heard of 90% of the ingredients.

I think of them as candy. I know a few bars that is SO good yumyum.

i brought htis up in anohter thread in which everyone refused to respond.

but for metrx-the first ingredient is COLLEGEN which i believe counts as protein and is completely useless. after collegen is whey, but their is no telling how much whey is in tha bar. that is a question i would like to know

Ingredients are listed based on how much of each is in the food.

They're not bad to have on a cheat day...but then again if its my cheat day I'm going for the real thing...a King Size Snickers Bar!!!:)

You can make your own protein bars using whey powder, water, and your choice of fat (flax seed or almonds)...Tons and tons of recipes on google...

protein bars are worse than chocalate bars! most have so much cholesterol!
