Protein Bars are Evil!

I find it interesting that differant flavors of the same brand can taste so differant. Like Sportpharma chocolate crunch is terrible and cookies and cream is excellent. So don't give up on a brand untill you have tried the differant flavors.

How did you make those cookies exacltly?
gopro, what specific brand of bar would you suggest for me? I have been doing my cardio first thing in the mornings on an empty stomach for a few weeks now. I know this is supposed to be the best way to do it, but I think I need to eat something on these days. My stomach starts growling half way through my workout and by the time I get to abs and stretching, I'm too hungry to do anything effectively.
I'd rather have a bar than a shake, I think it will be easier to eat something solid than drink 11 oz (Myoplex) of liquid.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
I bought 2 different protein bars 1 year ago when I first started working out. Had my first one and that made me run to the bathroom! Ugh!
Haven't touched one since and made my own.
Saved the other one to give to the mice in my garage. Should be lethal enuf to finally get rid of them...

W8lifter,
Thanks for the info You've provided on why the protein bars are bad. Do you have any alternatives that can replace them and also be as available???
Also your website pic's are enough to cause a heart attack........Thanks.

LOL...um, thanks
Well, real food is always the best choice. But protein shakes are the next best thing. You can make your own protein bars out of the powder if you're looking for a bar....there's some good recipes in the recipe section
Step away from the protien bars if you want to stay lean, use in a pinch any other time. or if gaining

Thanks w8. I think you posted an article similiar to that at MM, but I didn't pay much attention to it b/c I wasn't eating protein bars at the time. I have since become addicted and have wondered why the he** I'm staying the same, etc. and then I read that article. I just gave my roommates the rest of my protein bars. Geeze, and I just found my favorite ones at Cosco for cheap! Oh well. Goodbye protein bars

Tracie are you talking about preimer 1?
what about a protein bar with 30 grams of protein 6 grams of carbs and 7 grams of fat?? (leanbody)

Hey guys, there are protein bar recipies you can try yourself, I haven't tried any yet but will do so possibly soon. I hear some of them are pretty good.
I can try to post some stuff when I can get around too it, if there isn't anything in the recipe forum now, but I bet there is.

The LB bar I'm looking at , similar, says 30 P, 2 C and 8 F and 290 calories
So when you do the math....30 + 2 (carbs +protein, and you can do this with your bar too) X 4 calories per gram...or 128 calories
Then take the fat grams X 9 or 72 caloires......add the P/C/F together and you get 200 calories (128+72) BUT the bars says 290 CALORIES, how can this be?
What's happeninmg is you are eating a GLYCERINE SANDWICH 90 calories at 4.3 calories per gram...and Labrada is NOT in compliance with the new labeling laws!
BARS ARE EVIL!

That doesn't make sense to me at all.
Really...hmmmm...well, you know how guns aren't really bad...the problem is with the people that use them...well, same with bars. If they are not abused they are not that bad once in a while.

K...I see what you're saying......and that would be fine if it weren't for the fact that protein bars are advertised as "health foods that will help you burn fat" which is a load of shit. Not to mention that half of them are mis-labeled....and also not to mention the mis-informed..."it has 40 g of carbs in it..don't I need carbs for energy?"
So I see your point, but I still say protein bars are evil
I think this is GPs little joke, but yes in all honesty there are some fat burner "N@Z!" types here, which for the ultra dedicated can be done.
Or like GP who is strict for what, 2-3 months at a time? Is still a major commitment. For many of us there has to be a medium, because I know alot of people that I talk to GASP in total disbelief at the things about diet that they are not aware of, and are just about ready to totally quit if you tell them they need to drop all sugar for best results, meaning even milk etc, because this is like asking a person on the street to remove an arm.
So for many of us, find a medium, stay clean much of the time, and treat protein bars as maybe a desert because heck they just about are even if they have protein in them (however much is useable, damn label lies). Again as another example, I know people that bitch about how thier protein bars taste, give me a freaking break I'd say, but to them they want a damn snickers and have ripped abbs and 19" arms and yada yada, to get the masses into shape you have to tone down the torture once in awhile

Well, I can't say I agree with the advertising of almost all supps, proteins, bars, etc...however, compared to the foods that most people eat, a protein bar is a huge improvement. Yes, most are mislabeled, but if you are somewhat well informed and understand the true contents of each bar, you can make sure to calculate the fats, carbs (glycerol), and proteins into your daily total calorie allotment and use them wisely. Remember, the majority of people out there are not like you and me...they don't eat 6-7 perfect meals per day. If we can get a person to substitute a protein bar in place of Mcdonalds or some other junk, we are at least headed in the right direction.
Protein bars are not evil, their use is just misunderstood.
Yep, you can't take Joe Blow and convert them into a diet freak right off the bat, you will turn OFF more people than you turn ON, that is just the reality. I am not saying I'm Diet Superman either, I am in no way worthy of such a title, so I'm playing middleman to the reality of the outside world here

Oh I see....I agree w/ the joe blow, average person...however, since this is a BB board and MOST of us here DO eat 6 - 7 meals a day and have very defined diets, that's who I was speaking to/about
