Best protein bar?

[Snrf]

I know everyone gives protein bars a lotta shit and they're generally garbage, however I'm going to China in 2 weeks for 2 weeks and although I know there'll be plenty of food available (first thing I checked) I don't know how much protein I'll be able to get so I'm going to be taking 50 protein bars to ensure I can get enough protein. (theres a gym there too so I'm set to continue my cycle, and I know I can travel with my test)

What are the best of the bars out there? I was thinking the Mega-Pro 50 which has

Energy: 299kcal
Protein: 50g
Carbohydrates: 13.5g
Fat: 8g
Fibre: 1g
Sodium: 100mg

Any better ones out there that you guys know of? Most of them only have 20g of protein or like 50g of carbs

Before preaching at me, I did make sure theres a canteen open all day, I'm just not sure how much meat will be available, I got access to a gym every day I'm there and I can take my test with me.

Hey snrf...

what are your goals ... MRP?

I would say tri-o-plex because its made with oats and other "natural" ingredients.
its about 400 cals, 30 grams of protein 16 net carbs and 5-8 grams of fat

[JohnboyF]

or if you want lower carb bars

i would go with Eas myoplex carb sense. the only thing with those bars is that when the carb count drops the fat content rises pretty high.

[Snrf]

thanks Faiz, not after MRP just after protein supplementation really. I would take a bunch of whey with me but not sure how Chinese customs will react to me arriving with a bunch of powder

I imagine the chinese food will be mostly noodles/rice/veg with lesser amounts of meat so I just wanna make sure I get enough protein to keep growing.

what do u think of the info on the mega-pro 50, I think that sounds good for protein supplementation w/o adding too many other cals.

[JohnboyF]

Damn thats not bad at all at that breakdown imo

[Snrf]

yeah im guessin i wont find anything w/ protein that high w/o loads of carbs or fat. bet its about as much fun as eating a housebrick though

[chest6]

gawd i hate protein bars.

I hear ya on the housebrick. I swear i've chipped my tooth on those things

[JohnboyF]

[Snrf]

yeah bro i got some recipes, I just need something that will keep for my 4000 mile plane ride, not look too suspicious to chinese customs officials and keep during my stay, cuz god knows what the weather in china is like right now.

however feel free to post your recipes...i had to quit making your cookies cuz i kept eating all of them at once.

[JohnboyF]

haha those cookies are fine for one sitting man.. 1 cup of oats thas all..

HMMM i have a good ebay guy i bought a crap load from (back in the day) u can talk to him if u want..

[Snrf]

yeah but i'd make a big batch with like 3 cups of oats and then munch them all rofl

[naturalsux]

So i was experimenting today this is what i came up with

Oatmeal Cookies and they fit in my macros...



First I preheat the oven to 350

I took 1/2 cup off ccheese whipped it with a fork
added 1 cup of oats
1 scoop whey ( i used chocolate)
1 egg
Mix.. at this point its all dry and clumpy so i added about .25 ( less then .5 a cup of CC for sure)
Now it got more gooey and workable mix wit a fork
spray tinfoil with pam on a cookie sheet
spoon out ball sized clumps and flaten them..
place in the oven 25 min the longer u keep them in they dry out..so u might need to have milk and cookies!!

I would avoid any pro bars that used sugar alcohols as sweeteners. They really upset digestive system and you will be lucky to absorb anything of value. Unfortunately they all seem to have this ingredient.
Stick with natural ingredients if you can. Avoid soy protein as it is used in bulk in many of the bars due to it being so cheap. Soy protein has been shown not only to be inneffective for muscle growth but even possibly negative effects on anabolism.

Best bars i found were

Zero Impact Bar: High Protein Mealbar


Every effort has been made to make sure that the sugars contained in this bar have a minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin . Consequently, the majority of sugars contained in the ZERO IMPACT™ High Protein, Meal Replacement Bar (MRB™) are low DE (Dextrose Equivalent) and, therefore, have significantly less impact on blood sugar and glycemic index than most whole grain carbohydrates. This innovation incorporates the use of low glycemic carbohydrates, fiber, high-grade proteins, and naturally occurring essential fats from nuts, seeds, milk proteins and grains. The ZERO IMPACT™ BAR also contains CLA and Sesamin to maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels and reduce body fat. I Jack Owoc, CEO and Chief of Research and Development at VPX, have invested 3.5 years into creating the most scientifically advanced and healthy Protein Bar on the planet. The ZERO IMPACT™ MRB™ is a key food source for the ZERO IMPACT™ Diet. Mark my word. The ZERO IMPACT™ dietary concepts are going to be the 21st Century’s dominant school of thought regarding rapid fat loss and lean muscle accrual! Supplement Facts
