What’s your favorite protein bar?

I’m referring to bars with 15+ grams protein (in my opinion, less than that is essentially a snack/energy bar with protein in it). I happen to love them ..maybe because I’ve been eating protein bars for YEARSSSS maybe as a way to tame my inner chocoholic I’m definitely NOT advocating that you start eating protein bars if you don’t have any need; just curious as to your favorite if you do. I prefer the ones with NO SUCRALOSE or MALTITOL but still has low sugar (preferably sweetened with natural stevia).

This Birthday Cake QuestBar does have Sucralose, an artificial sweetener. I tried it but didn’t really like it anyway. The double chocolate chunk flavor is one of the few Quest Bars without sucralose, so it’s my go-to!

Sucralose can spike your blood sugar & insulin (making you crave more sweets) if it’s the powder form – like Splenda. If it’s the liquid form, apparently it doesn’t .. I have no idea which form Quest uses but I have it in my head that my cravings are higher if I eat a flavor like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.

Some of my favorite PROTEIN sources

Protein SourcesCan’t see each thing🔍? Just enlarge it👌

I’m a strong believer that each person needs to find what works best for THEM but I get asked a lot how I fit in 100-125g protein per day (I’m only about 5’5″ & weigh probably about 125-128lbs.. I rarely ever weigh myself btw). I follow the recommended guideline for building muscle of .8g-1g of protein per pound of your ideal body weight (in other words, if you are 100 pounds overweight, don’t consume an additional 100g protein per day).

I don’t think these need a description but if you wonder how/why/when I eat them, I’m putting together “A TYPICAL DAY” document of my meals which you can download📥.

Come back to my page here bcuz I’ll have the link to that within the week.

Please let me know if this is helpful 🙏😉

What would you rather have.. A Protein bar or Prime Rib?

I swear I’d rather have a protein bar any day! I’m at ‪#‎wholefoods‬ with Matt & tempted by my strange obsession with protein bars!! Idk why but I could eat them all day long if it were healthy or acceptable to do so!!

Quest bars have been my recent obsession but I’ve gone over a week without any! ‪#‎progress‬

p.s. I’m not saying ‪#‎QuestBars‬ are a problem, I’m saying my addiction was . I’m hoping BB someday comes out with a bar, minimally processed the way they make Shakeology So many that are DELISH with low sugar have artificial sweeteners, maltitol, OR are just so TINY (like ‪#‎larabars‬ for example).
