Werd up to that. Before I knew what clean eating was, I thought protien bars were the shiznit. Eat the real food to get the numbers, not some man made garbage.

I eat Pure Protein bars that you buy at Wal-Mart on occassion.Not the best way of getting your protein but not a bad snack.

Make your own. Go here http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...de+protein+bar (Protein bar recipe help?) or search the recipes for homemade protien bars.

Hammerlynn · 02-09-2007, 02:09 PM

I eat them occasionally but know that I shouldn't. I did just find a recipe for homemade ones though.

2 Cups Oatmeal
4 scoops of whey (protein powder--any will do-vanilla kind)
1/2 cup peanut butter
about 5 tbsp of water.

Mix in a bowl--dough should be stiff.

Forms 6 bars on wax paper--freeze them for 40 minutes and then they are ready to go!! No baking!!

Info:
195 cals
8.3g fat
16g carbs
18.8g protein

I don't eat them for the reason Jodi listed. I have gotten in the routine of cooking a days worth of food when I first get up, and I carry tupperware bowls around with me all day.

If I am in a place where I can't eat, I keep a cache of musclemilk and ON Whey protein in the delivery truck and at work.

It is very simple. I just take a mouthful of water, then dip the spoonful of whey. I then dump the whey into my mouth and swallow. Do that three times and you just got the protein that is in the bar without all of the other crap you don't need.

most bars are much less than ideal, that being said two of the best profile wise are the sustain bar and the zero impact bar.

Quinc · 02-10-2007, 03:08 AM

oh yeah bars are the shizz... taste great, and are good if you are on the go. i keep a few in my glove box, and always take one with me if i go out. incase of an emergency.

**Prince** · 02-10-2007, 11:10 AM

not on a regular basis, but if I need something on the run, for instance I went out of town a couple of weeks ago and it was hard to get extra meals/protein in so I bought some protein bars.

machinehead · 02-10-2007, 12:58 PM

I use protein bars when I going to pub or to play pool. I have the carbrite diet bars by universal and pure protein by worldwide.

**I Are Baboon** · 02-15-2007, 06:43 AM

They are not part of my regular diet, but I'll eat one on occasion if I'm hungry and happen to have one. Like others said, they are not they best way to get protein, but they are still better than candy bars or a bag of chips.

tannywild · 02-15-2007, 08:43 AM

sadly my job demands it.. I dont get time to take a meal and sit to enjoy it.. I shove whatever I can to supply my protein for that 8 hours while I'm at work.

If I could eat a natural, cooked meal though.. I would. Definetly.

**nni** · 02-15-2007, 09:10 AM

check out the sustain bar if you need to take protein bars.

TaylorsNutrition · 02-15-2007, 11:50 AM

The Oh Yeah Bars sell like Crack in our store.

rmcfar · 02-15-2007, 12:07 PM

thats because those oh yeah bars taste like a real chocolate bar.

i think the isoflex bars by allmax are really good because they have 1g of sugar, 10g of fat, and 30g of protein. even though its all processed and yada yada i like to eat them instead of having myself eat a cheat meal. its got the sweet taste of a cheat, but with half the garbage. its like gettin a hooker but not having to pay in the end....

zombul · 02-15-2007, 01:16 PM

I sell some Trio-Plex cookies here that are damn good.

machinehead · 02-15-2007, 04:22 PM

All of you don't understand that the most protein bars are crap, a good protein bar should contain no sugar or max. 1-2 gram. they should contain less saturated fat the total fat should be around 4 gram.

The trioplex contain 16gram of sugar - it's alot.

**Prince** · 02-15-2007, 04:23 PM

agreed, the Trio Plex bars are great, and close to "real food" unlike most bars that are not much better than a candy bar.

Ingredients:
CJ Protein Blend (Soy Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Fruit Blend (Fruit Juice, Natural Grain Dextrin), Glucose Syrup, Whole Grain Rolled Oats, Water, Canola Oil, Honey, Shredded Coconut, Cocoa Processed with Alkali, Oat Flour, Vegetable Glycerine, Natural Flavors.

there is still some shit in there, but quality protein and oats.

**nni** · 02-15-2007, 04:54 PM

any sugars and fats should be from natural healthy sources, no sugar alcohols.

katt · 02-15-2007, 05:02 PM

I eat them occasionally,,, maybe once a month, if that
