Judie Protein bars I recently found a protein bar that we think is great. It's Carb Solutions and it seems to come in about 3 flavors. One Chocolate Amond fudge is great and another with Hazlenut was like a candy bar. Even my husband said so. I got mine at CVS and Walmart. Right now they are having a special box of 6 (5 plus 1 free) for about $9. Rita Black10/17/2000 First Consult. Dr.MacuraOpen BPD/DS 4/23/20014/23/01 - 400lbs. BMI 635/1/01 - 391lbs.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 Judie, That's great!!

There is more protein in them than candy bars and I find myself prefering Luna bars over candy bars if you can believe that? > > Judie > > > Re: Protein bars **Rita** > > > > Okay, > > > > I have to admit, I ate 1 bite of the toffee hazlenut bar and returned the rest of the box to Sam's club..I think the most important lesson in buying protein bars is to BUY ONE first because you may not like what other people do..the only one I like is the LUNA bar, however, that's only 10 grams of protein..but better than a Snickers or some other candy bar though! > > > > Anita > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 rita, do you happen to know if protein bars contain caffeine?? i am allergic to caffeine, up to a point. i cannot drink any type of drink that contains caffeine because my heart races, my face gets red, and my hands swell. however, when i eat caffeine (chocolate) in food, it doesn't bother me. i was just wondering about the caffeine content. i can't take excedrin because it has caffeine in it. thx! jo ann/pre-op dr booth/ocean springs --- Rita Black wrote: > I recently found a protein bar that we think is > great.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I like the Luna bars....toasted nut and cranberry. I have to watch out for the sugar though...some of the Luna bars have more than others...same with the Zone Perfect bars. My real favorite right now is the Balance Gold bars...either Caramel Nut Blast or the Peanut Butter flavor. Those are good...12 grams of sugar....15 grams of protein. I only use them if I am out shopping and it isn't convenient to stop for a meal...or if I know I am not going to have access to food that is good for me.
