What are the best protein bars to buy?!? What I mean is the ratio of protein to carbs?!? Can I get an example?!?

if you ask me i think shakes are better. but i have to eat a protein bar due to my schudule. i usually go w/ the nitro-tech protein bar. it has 30g of protein and 35g of carbs i think, somehwere around there.

[mele421]

What's the difference between a protein bar that contains 30g of protein/ 5g of carbs, and another bar that has 30g of protein/25g of carbs?!? Which one would be better to purchase?!?

[mele421]

jamastunna, can you explain to me the difference of eating either type of protein bar (same amount of carbs as protein or low carbs)?!?

[Diesel]

I think the protein/carb ratio depends on what your going for. if you just want some extra protein then go w/ the low carb bar. but, if you looking for a bar to replace a meal, then i would say high protein and high carb.

^ what he said. If you just want some protein go get the cheapo ones from Walmart, they have good protein and low carbs.

Yeah, the only reason I want to buy some protein bars is to use them as a meal replace. So, I'll go with the 1 protein/1 carb ratio bar. Thanks Diesel.

if your eating shitloads of protein bars make sure your getting an enzyme supplement . protein bars havent been in my diet in a while , i ocassionally eat a probar which has 50 carbs and 19grams of fat , and 9 grams of protein , made of fruit blended together and mushed together , but eating half of one of those with a shake makes for a pretty good meal .

When I use them I use Detour Bars, 30 gr of protein and 30 grams carbs,, pretty good

A proten bar or a protein shake that has roughtly a 30g/30g mix of protein and carbs is ideal as a post-workout supplement. A 30g/5g mix, on the other hand, is good for breakfast, dinner or to get your once-every-3-hour protein fix.

Protein bars seem pretty expensive - which are the best value?
