What is his "job" anyway?

1.5 oz is a small bar, like the half the size of your typical protein bar. Any idea how many calories are in one of those?

I'll double check....but if the stats I posted are right....190

I look at it as 1/2 the carbs of a Balance bar.....almost as much protein......and more fat.

If I were to eat these...I and I won't...they are "too good"...I'd have to eat 2 and find extra protein

Posted by: Dr. Pain

Oh......SRP is $1.99, there are 12 in a box.........I'll be selling them to the gyms at wholesale which is $14.40

So I'd say if you find them at $15-16, that would be a good buy!

One thing....the protein makes them a little dryer that a regular wafer creme cookie, not that I would know what one tastes like.

(we also saw that w/protein cookies)

AND THEY ARE NO DETOUR BAR!

are detour bars better for you?

im kinda confused... i was under the impression all these protein bars were bad. are some ok to have? or are they actually all pretty crappy? if thats the case, why the hell are you "reviewing" some every other day?

Posted by: w8lifter

They are bad, lol....but most people eat them anyway....might as well get something that tastes good?

haha, yeah... i suppose its better than a snickers (speaking of snickers... mmmm...

: ).

what makes the protein bars bad? lots of sugar? or is there saturated fat 'n crap?

are they something that you can have on a cut, or are they best left for bulking cycles? and how often can you have em? are they a good replacement for a daily protein shake? or is that too much?

blah... haha... sorry for all the questions. i should probably just go search the forums.

Posted by: w8lifter

Yeah...do a search...or look in the best nutritional threads for "protein bars are evil" ....some think they're okay on a cut (gopro) while some don't (me & DP) ....you kind of have to look at everything...if you've stalled or plateaued, or current and goal BF%, whether you're competing, your metabolism, etc. Check out that thread and you can see the debate

Posted by: Dr. Pain

Correction on the fat from above....9 grams. The flavors do vary by 1 gram on the C and F counts btw!

I'll let w8 link "Protein bars are Evil" here....my work is done

Posted by: P-funk

Oh yeah......Stay away from protien bars.

DP - Have the U-Turns come out yet? Any good?

I could stay away from these. Never cared for wafers anyway. Now a nutter butter! MMMMMMMM!!!

Posted by: Dr. Pain

Jodi....not on the West Coast...but my undersstanding is that they are jobbed on the East Coast....you may see them before me!

Posted by: Dr. Pain

....and the Peanut Butter ones are the best flavor? LOL

Posted by: calalily1972

Okay, if I see them I'll let you know how they are!
