What is YOUR favorite protein bar?

[PaPaPumP]

C'mon guys, whatcha like?

[sp33dg33k]

i like the optimum peanut butter and the chocolate banana and especially the price.

Optimum Nutrition Opti-Pro Meal Bar Peanut Butter

If you haven't tried it, you've been missing out on the best tasting protein bar ever. Not the best nutritional facts, but you can't beat the taste.

[PaPaPumP]

Damn it! Everyone's voting for "other" I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE PUT OPTIMUM. They are good, but for post workout, I heard they are sugar bars, like Promax. I go for nutrition, and then taste, but Designer's entire line is to DIE for....mmmmm. Also Pure Protein Blueberry, just bought two boxes of that, and one Smores box. . I'm stocked!

From a carb/protein standpoint Optimum makes the Opti-Pro meal bar which is fabulous. Try it after a workout or for a snack.

Wish i had known that...I would have sent you my two boxes of PP Blueberry. That stuff is N A S T Y. I had a sample at some show a few months ago and i thought it tasted great so i got some. I swear they must have had some real chocolate in it, it was that good...that or I was so hungry at the time i could've eaten a skunk and it would have tasted good.

[PaPaPumP]

Man, I can eat the whole box in one day. I'm going to have onbe right now!!!!mmmmm

[dumbells101]

The nice thing about the opti-pro meal bars are that they also have a couple digestive enzymes added so hell I've eaten 3 after a workout. And you can't beat the price.

Dumbells 101,

Doesnt all the sugar in those Optipromeal bars concearn you?

Only time I ever consider the bars like that (Promax, OptiProMeal, MetRx food bar, Mesotech, etc) would be immediately post workout instead of my usual shake, or when on a cheating binge. Otherwise I just dont think with all of the poor high GI carbs and sugar they have any place in the BB diet.

I will admit they are DAMN good though

PS - If I had to pick a single best brand and flavor of nutritionally decent protein bar it would have to be Designer Lemon Crunches.

[dumbells101]

No I don't worry about sugar post workout, and I too only eat them at that time. However, my day starts ab 4:00 am and typically ends at 9:30-10:00 pm. I'm burning a ton of calories a day, once measured at almost 6000. If I use a thermogenic my weight drops dramatically. I don't advise the bars at any othe time unless I have a client whose bodyfat is low and needs a quick fix.

[Tobey]

I have tried protien bars in the past however I have found that most contain way to much sugar. So I stuck to my isopure. I think that I am the only person at my gym that is always walking around with a protien shake in thier hands all the time.

[dumbells101]

I hear ya Tobey, clients ask me every day if all I do is supplement. They don't see the oatmeal early or the chicken or the rest, only when I'm in between meals.

I used to make my own (talk about getting hassled at work)- they looked like particle board but didn't taste nearly as good as particle board. But, boy were they healthy and cheap! Recipe on request (ha, ha, ha).
Nowdays, I like the Pure Protein ones- the lemon chiffon is good as is the S'Mores. But the be-all of protein bars for taste alone is the new Balance Gold bar- tastes like a Snickers but with 15 grams of protein and only about 200 calories. Makes for a great snack when you're feeling decadent.

DECA ?!? Did i hear someone say Deca?!?!This is a protein bar poll for gosh sake, not juice!!!!

Bro, I was just playing. It was just meant to be a harmless joke ,no offense intended. And just so you know, that shake soudns yummy.

[Iwan2bsolid2]

Designer CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO..is the SHIZ.
All designers are good actually
I like SOLID PRO. cookie dough and smores.
the brownie promax bar is so good but loaded with sugar, but if you feel like cheatin it's better than snickers.

[dumbells101]

Speaking of Snickers...Did you know that a Snickers is actually an acceptable choice if you are in a pinch and need something quick that will keep your blood sugar stable! Yep though I don't recommend it often, in a pinch it has a glycemic rating (how quickly it is absorbed into the blood stream) of 41, which is acceptable. Yes it does have 30 grams of sugar and 14 grams of fat but 9 of them are unsaurated healthy from the peanuts, and it does provide 4 grams of protein.

[Iwan2bsolid2]

I used to eat em everyday before snowboarding. damn the were good, and frozen one's are the shit.

Snickers

[Gonna Be HUGE]

My favorite is to eat a MetRx and a Pure Protein bar together. Choc MetRx and Strawberry Shortcake PP. I eat bars like they are going out of style (and no I don't worry about the sugar....). I shoot for minimum 6000 cals a day so I don't think the couple extra grams of sugar are gonna hurt me..... LOL Gear Does a Body GOOD!!!!!

OMG those are soo good. I can't believe anyone wouldn't like them. My 2 year old daughter thinks their candy. She keeps trying to take mine out of my hands. LOL

[PaPaPumP]

LOL RON!

i am missing out on gagging on some disgusting piece of crap they call blueberry...

and while i'm here...WTH is an OMG bar? is that a joke? if so i am LMAO...if not, I am CMEO

[PaPaPumP]

Primo PM me ASAP B/C OMG E/D I LMAO @ U!

[RON]

No way Primo, you've never heard of OMG bars. Thats about the only bar I eat now. Oh My God I just can't believe that.

[primodonna]

PPP- YATF

RON- you'll have to UPS me some of those PDQ, OK?

[Tekto]

Im still looking for where to buy those OMG bars. Please tell me a site where I can get them. What brand manufactures them?

[PaPaPumP]

PD- WTFD YATF M???


U R A YATF IF U ASK ME.

[r6guy]

I think the pure protein bars taste the best, but IMO I think that all taste like sh*t. After eating 1/2 - 3/4 of the bar, the aftertaste kills me.

Speaking of snickers, have u guys tried snickers ice cream?? They have frozen snickers ice cream bars and regular ice cream... I think the regular ice cream is the bomb. The ice cream bars aren't that bad either. Not exactly something for the fitness category, but I believe you can cheat every now and then, just don't make it a habit.

[primodonna]

3P- it means "You Are Too Funny"...what did YOU mean by it?

btw...you can find the OMG bars at this website:

www.YHGTBFKM.com they are made by U-F-B Nutrition

[PaPaPumP]

LOL! You don't wanna know!!!

[RON]

Primo, see what you started LMAO. Your bars are in the mail...... Any else one who want to try the OMG bars just send me your gear. I will trade for bars

[RON]

I almost forgot don't PM me for bars it was a joke.

[primodonna]

RON- I'm glad you clarified that...you saved yourself about 100 PM's

I'll be on the lookout...i am so excited!
