Re: I found a great deal on U-Turn Protein bars today!

[Guest guest]

Just remember, everyone, that the U-Turn bars are high in sugar and carbs --

yes, they are delicious, but don't think of them as a meal or a protein, think

of them as a better treat than, say, a Snickers bar.

I don't have a U-Turn with me, but I have their " brothers, " Detour and OneWay,

made by the same company and very similar, in my dek drawer, and they have 12

grams of sugar each. If you're going to have one and you dump, have 1/2 one, or

even 1/3.

Wal-Mart sells a smaller Detour and U-turn that only has 6 gms of sugar...

There is also one at GNC that is delicious that has only like 2 gms of

sugar, Oddesey I believe... They are like $3.23 each... Not gonna pay that

when you can get sugar free reese's for like $1.67 at Wal-Mart.... But they

are good.

These have very high sugar and carbs.

I dump from them

HOWEVER, I did find a low sugar/low carb version of these called

Odyessy (sp?) Bars, THese taste real good and have 3 grams of

effective carbs. I still treat them like a candy bar and only get one

for the movies or a picnic dessert. They do have 12 grms of protein

(can't remember for sure, haven't had one in a month or so)

As soon as my U-Turns and Detours are gone, I'm stocking up on Odyssy bars

- I like them SO much better and they aren't quite as high in carbs and

sugar. I found them at the GNC - if I'm going to have a protein bar as a

candy bar replacement, this is it! For regular protein bar meal

replacements, I stick with the Tri-o-plex bars (1/2 of one) - yummy!
