Most of them are full of saturated fat OR sugar which is ok of it fits your diet. Also, most of them use mainly soy protein, very few use whey isolate. I like Labrada along with pure protein, but they're not a staple for me.
when i have to, the labarada ones are decent...but i only use them in emergency to stop gap if i have too...but its better than nothing whatsoever...
Personally i wouldn't waste your money on them. High in saturated fat and sugars. Shvt protein used aswell.
garbage... grab a hamburger with icing on the top instead.
unfortunately i love them - the taste that is - but i try to resist buying them cos they are full of shit - absolutely worthless nutritionally speaking
have a look at my recipe to make your own healthy pro bars in the recipe forum
If I was caught without food or a whey shake I would buy one but I NEVER leave the house without my meals planned out for the day. NEVER......I carry a tiny blender, whey powder and oatmeal everywhere I go. Plan man, PLAN your meals.....
Dude you carry a blender around?? Now that's hardcore!!!!!Quote:

The same goes during the day at school. I have a 4 hour day with breaks so I pack a bar and eat it while taking notes.
I try to stay away from shit bars that have soy as a protein and about 15g of fat. Kong Bars are my favorite!!
Good thing I dont have a class with you Puffader. I'd be pissed If iw as trying to take notes and you're 1 row over mixing a banana in your blender. :aaGreen22
Haha, I can just picture that..."say man...you wanna put that on low?...im tryin to listen..."Quote:

Trioplex bars are a good choice for "emergency meals".

Yeah, I used to get that occassionally as well. I think it may have something to do with how they deliver them though. Since I've been in Maui, I've not ONCE got a moldy bar (and I've been through many many boxes)...but in Texas it was every so often. The heat maybe is causing the moisture in the bars to sweat?Quote:

havent bought 'em since though
Hahaha....I did the same thing one morning while running late for a meeting, sitting in Austin traffic starving for my mid-morning meal...and what do you know. My LAST bar was all moldy. Talk about some road rage. My apologies to anyone who may have been on Mopac that morning (or the side of the road for that matter).
It's a small blender. Holds about 600ml. It's tiny and has just one speed. I got it at walmart. You all should have one.
