more protein, less fat and sugar?

[Guest guest]

Hi,So I'm dairy and gluten free and one thing I would love to find is a protein bar I can eat! Not a "food bar", which usually has a lot of carbs and sugars and fats, but a real protein one. Another question I have is I eat a LOT of peanut or almond butter on rice cakes (I LOVE those flavored ones they have at berkeley bowl, they are on sale right now too btw!) and I'm trying to loose a little weight, so I'm looking for something that is lower fat/calorie but still has enough protein and is easy like the nut butters (am I dreaming?) I've tried some of those lowfat type peanut butters and they are NASTY! Also just general info about stuff with lots of protein and not lots of fats and sugars would be great! I just don't tend to eat a lot of meat and its not as easy to eat on the go too (beef jerky would be so perfect if I could stand the stuff!)Thanks!CoryP.S. if anyone knows any place between Alameda and Laney college where I can grab a quick GF and DF bite when I forget to pack lunch, that would also be great!

Hi,

I was referred by someone who is an angel on this list about LARA bars and have

been eating them since. I eat maybe one a day. My fav so far is peanut date bar.

Its so good I could eat TEN. =)

Good luck!

Oh I got them at trader joes but if you go to the LARA bar site they will point

you in the right direction!

Thanks, but Lara bars are not really protein bars, they still have lots of fat and sugar and carbs, oh well. From: gemmalocatDate: Sat, 3 Oct 2009 07:47:52 +0000Subject: [ ] Re: more protein, less fat and sugar?

yes, but they are still fat and sugar! And still have lots of calories, I get enough of those good fats other places, hence the reason I am looking for something else, a protein bar. From: galliano.gang@...Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2009 09:22:16 -0700Subject: Re: [ ] Re: more protein, less fat and sugar?

i have some other health issues so i use either diabetic bars or bariatric bars

i have found alot that are gluten free, and they have high protein but low sugar

in them. kc

> >

> >

> > Thanks Pam! I google the pure fit and they have more protein than anything

else i've found! They have a bit more sugar than I'd like, but less than a lot

of them and less fat too. I know soy isn't that great for me, but since I CANT

do ANY dairy and rice protein tastes really nasty to me, I dont always have much

choice! I mostly use them for when I'm out climbing all day and need some

serious protein thats easy to carry, but they are also good to have along in

case I'm stuck somewhere without food. Now I just have to figure out where to

buy them around here. I actually just read an article in a paper somewhere that

talks about how exercising is really good for you, but is NOT particularly good

if you are trying to loose weight, that people need to focus on calorie

reduction much more (although still exercise for many reasons!) I really need

to figure out an alternative to my mainstay of nutbutter on rice crackers,

although its a fairly healthy option, NOT low calorie. Good luck in your weight

loss quest as well.
