People need to get off the bars. Sheesh, I know it's an easy conveniance food, but all bars are crap.
I use a blend. isolate is good, especially if you are lactose intolerant. But those are not MRP (meal replacment shakes) which is why you are using the bar right? You should get a good MRP and a shaker bottle.

to be quite honest with you - whey protein, ground oats, natural peanut butter or added hempseed or flax oil and some fruit!
yeah, or even just flax and an apple. but those are tough becasue you have to carry a whole bunch of stuff to do it. That is why I recomend getting an MRP, jsut mx with water shake and there you go.

I had a veryyy bad experience with it is all Im going to say! 
Actually literature suggests that isolate may not be the best protein after all, because the speed of absorption and uptake is far too fast...in fact certain literature that I've read recently suggests that casein might indeed be the best protein, and that a mix of whey concentrate and casein is the bst post workout protein fix...
Peace.
Peace.
so no bars are good? Ive been eating the met-rx protein plus ones like when im at school seems to be ok. has a bit of sugar like 11g per bar and 32 protein. Can anyone tell me what is no good about it?
heres my scenario i have like 5 min between my first period and 2nd period classes. So i eat the bar on the way. what in the way of shakes has like 300-375 calories that i could drink instead of this bar I really thought these things were good... evidently not
kvyd, I do the same thing, easting inbetween classes. I eat real food, that particular meal consists of:
-2.5oz turkey on 1 slice wheat n' fiber bread
- 2 raisen oatmeal cookies(in the recipe section)
Comes out to about 239 cal; 25 carbs; 4.5 fat; 24.5 protein
Not bad for an inbetween meal, also you can easily add any macro nutrient to that snack by adding turkey, or using differnt ingrediants for the cookies.
Hope that helps

The only time I eat the bars is during snowboarding trips when cooking for myself is out of the question. We eat all meals out. So I buy a box of bars and live on them. Of course I'm also burning an extra 2000 cals a day. Normally, no bars for me.
anything that comes in "bar" form is a candy bar to me and my diet. much easier to look at it like that.
If you have a sweet craving, it is better then a snickers, but it would definately be a "treat" meal, not a daily thing.

For one thing, low-carb bars have glycerine and sugar alcohols which are crap.
