Chocolate and Protein Bars

[karenvictoria]

I have noticed some of the questions about protein bars and sugar which I totally agree with. I do eat protein bars occasionally. Now the question is, that a lot of times that I do eat them is because I want chocolate. What are the alternatives to protein bars that would satisfy a chocolate craving. What are your suggestion? What are your thoughts on the slim fast ice cream or the carb solution candy bars. Anyone have any type of info on these products as to the pro and cons. Or should I just stick to the protein bars.

As a fellow chocolate lover, I would like to know the answer to this as well.

If you love chocolate you gotta' try the EAS Myoplex Lite Chocolate chocolate chip crisp bar and the Promax Chocolate Brownie!!! They are scrumpious!!! I use the EAS ML bars most of the time and use the Promax bars when I know I need higher calories (had a lighter lunch etc.).

I order mine on www.netrition.com Much cheaper than GNC and ALWAYS nice and fresh!

For a treat, I like Atkins Caramel Nut Crunch Bar. Taste so much like a snickers! YUM! Otherwise, I just stick with trail mix or a high protein bar. I buy different protein bars everytime I shop so I don't get bored.

Thanks both of you. i have pms right now which is the reason for my food oriented chocolate question. Charlotte you look fantastic. I am striving for the definition and low body fat that you have. Right now mine is 19% and I swear it's in my lower abs.Keep up the great work and thanks for inspiring me to get through this week of pms without losing focus on my goals. karen

Slim Fast has two snack bars that I love and occassionally will eat if I want a candy bar. The peanut butter crunch one tastes like a Butterfinger, the caramel, nougat one tastes like Snickers! They only have 110 calories, which isn't too bad.

THe pria bars arent bad either. Not a protein source per se, they have around 6 grams of protein. But they fix the chocolate craving for 110 calories! Chocolate peanut butter is goooooood
