    protein bars taste like shit and are expensive as hell....can't replace a meal with it lol, eat it as an add on to my meals....all sticky and shit, i would rather go for the shakes.... forgot what brand but it has like 18-20g of protein per bar or something and it was either chocolate or peanut butter....freaking taste nasty.

    ^nope eat them before workouts to be energized and also burn it to get muscle...shit ain't going nowhere but add more calories if you don't burn it.

    i usually eat a promax bar after my workouts (chocolate mint - this flavor actually tastes decent and has 20g of protein). here's their website if you're interested in more of the finer details: http://promaxnutrition.net/

    i agree on the apex bars being nasty... don't waste your money on them.

    @lee lee
    protein bars = wayyy less fat but like 4X the protein like if you want protein from meats, it would take like 4 slices of ham to get the protein amount in a protein bar but you get more fat. also protein bars are easier to consume and also they fill you up better. kinda like that slimfast shit. also more energy....but i'll gladly substitute protein bars with soybean drinks or whey protein shakes (even though they don't taste to good either) but you have more options to what flavor you want to add to it cause you blend it. the bottom line from protein bars is you get more good shit crammed into a smaller volume, portability is quite popular these days.:D

    but all the sugar...sugar eventually turns into fat anyways so wouldn't a protein bar be useless in the end? it's also like starving if it's a meal replacement.

    ^have you tried a protein bar?.....fake suga taste lee lee, fake suga taste....one of the reason it tastes like shit. and even if it has less sugar, the point is for it to give the consumer energy to be able to perform better at their workouts and burn more fat as a result.... [​IMG]

    anyways a protein bar is thick as hell, soo chewy (in a disgusting way) in your mouth, have to drink lotsa water lol...

    no i've never had one. thought about it. but the idea of replacing a tiny meal bar for real food makes me nauseous. i already don't eat enuf as it is.
    it's fake sugar? so like splenda crap? ewwwwwwwwwwwwww....splenda is nasty. nasty. nasty.

    ^i think it's like what they call sugar alcohol or something...some type of replacement but yea shits nasty....but i think if you want to try a good protein bar...try the special k brand or something...

    [​IMG]

    only tried the regular special k, but this looks good but it's more expensive, probably half the protein for the same price lol..
