Protien Bar brands?
I wanted to pick up some protein bars to supplement my diet when I just can't get the protein in and I don't have access to carry the shakes around. I had some protein bar brand suggestions that TWH gave me, but for the life of me I can't find those notes now.
Any suggestions? I know that Costco has a bunch and I'm heading there tomorrow morning.

I know a lot of people that do the pure protein bars. Compared to the OH yeah bars they have better stats - more protein and less carbs for less calories.

At Costco, there are the Premier Protein bars - 30 gr per bar. There are the Oh Yeah bars (about half the size or snack size) and they are about 14 or 15 gr of protein.
These are the two I like. I prefer the Oh Yeah bars simply because it is like eating a chocolate bar with nuts.
I love the oh yeah bars and get them at Costco - they are a wonderful add on for when you are in a crunch. I read "all" the labels at Costco... lol... and oh yeah came out best in regards to protein, carbs and calories.
Keep in mind that - when you are doing price comparisons - the Costco ones re 45 grams (what is perfect) - the Popeye ones ( and shoppers) are the larger size. The 45 gram is just perfect.
Happy shopping.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
I have to be careful with the amount of sugar alcohols in protein bars so I eat the Simply Bar and the Premier Protein from Costco. I just eat 1/2 of the Premier Protein to keep the carb count under control but in a pinch they are perfect.
