i hav etried the Carb Well Balance Bars and they aren't bad, but i would prefer something with less sugar alcohol/sugar that doesn't taste like cardboard or potting soil. Any suggestions?:)

I haven't tried very many brands, but I really like Clif Builder's Bars (not the same as the regular Clif Bars) - they have 20 g of protein and are quite tasty. They don't have a ton of sugar either, if I recall correctly. But they are not low carb. They are really substantial - makes a nice meal-on-the-run.
 
I used to eat the kashi bars until I noticed how much sugar was in just one bar. I think it was 30 grams. Right now I'm not eating any, so wish I could be of some help!

I like Clif bars too! They taste so good!
 
I dont know if this counts as a protein bar or not. The snicker Marathon Low Carb Peanut Butter are really good. There is 14grams of protien, sugar alchol is 8grams, it has a lot of vitamins in it and tastes like a wonderful treat. I dont eat them often but when I do they fill me up at 160 calories.

I enjoyed these so much I would be interested in trying some of the other suggestions too, once I look at the nutrition. Cliff's sounds interesting. Most protein bars I tried in the past were so heavey and tasted like cardboard so I'm kind of afraid of them.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone :7

My absolute favorite is the Nutz over chocolate by Luna. Not a lot of sugar and I believe 12 grams of protein and they taste great.

I like Luna bars also (smores) :D
They only have 10 grams of protein though.

Balance bars have 15 grams of protein but they are a little high up in the caloire count.
 
I like Zone Perfect bars (chocolate mint). I don't use them as a meal replacement, but as a snack in between meals. I eat often. :)

calories 210
protein 16g
sugars 13g

I love Detour Bars. They are absolutely delicious with 30 grams protein, 34 grams of carbs and only 8 grams of fat. Yum.

Luna Bars (Nutz over chocolate) here, too. The Harvest (I think they are Power Bars) brand that are dipped are pretty good, too, but I never used to pay attention to the sugar content so I am not sure if they are a good choice.

I used to eat these with abandon until I realized I gained five pounds! Now I eat them only rarely...

I really like Myoplex Carb Sense bars. The nutritional info varies by about 10 calories depending on the flavor.

This is for the Chocolate Peanut Butter:

Cal 250
Fat 7
Protein 28
Carb 24 (3g impact carbs)

They have one that is a chocolate chip flavor that to me tastes like your eating Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Unfortunately I have a lot of trouble finding them in stock. That's probably why.:7

I like EAS Advantage Carb Control chocolate chip brownie. It's got 21 grams of protein, although it's kind of high in fat (7 grams)

For taste alone, I adore Carb Solutions (new recipe)Chocolate Toffee Hazelnut. It's got 20 grams of protein, and seriously, tastes like absolute heaven. Yum, I think I'll go have one now.
 
I forgot to mention that the Carb Solutions one may have more sugar alcohol than you're looking for. I think it has 9 grams of maltitol.
 
I like Atkins Advantage Bars. High in protein and you don't have to worry about alot of sugar. Some of the protein bars like GoLean have alot of sugar in them. Ever see the advertisements of the Dannon Yoplait Yogurt with a skinny girl eating the yogurt? Well that kind has a ton of sugar in it. Commercials are decieving. Just read the labels on everything to know what you are actually getting.

Charlotte that reminds me what brand of yogurt is fat free yet low in sugar. I eat dannon and yoplait and I am lookinng for something with less sugar and no/low fat. I have a fear of eating fat!

I like the Detours as well, but I buy the smaller ones at Wal Mart. They have 160-170 calories, 4-6 grams fat, about 16 carbs, 2-6 grams of sugar, 15 grams protein. Designer Whey makes them. They are under $6.00 for a box of 6.

However, I just ate a Pure Protein bar....Smores! It was 180 Kcal, 5g fat, 19g carb (count 3 net ??), sugars 0, sugar alcohol 13g, protein 19g. Man, it was really rich, and just like candy. I rarely treat myself to these unless I find a free coupon for them.

Terri,

I usually go with the Great Value Yogurt at WalMart. It is the Light kind and has 5g of sugar in it. Much less then most and cost about 33 cents for one.
