Can you get protein bars for under 1$ apiece?

I'm gonna try the high protein diet and see what happens, although I've never believed in it. Your body can only use so much protein. A little experimenting here.

Protein bars = junk.

Anyway, you can get expired protein bars at around $.40/bar on eBay. They have a shelf life of approximately 2yrs.

They make one called the Steele Bar or something for $0.99.

is that 2 yrs after they expire or 2 yrs total?

That wouldn't do much good now, would it?

Walmart up here sells boxes of 6 under $6. i think last time i got some it was $5.25 for the box.

2 yrs after they expiure in MOST cases. Biteme, you were asking a general question, I was merely responding. Fact of the matter is, protein bars aren't you best decision. Most use soy/hydrolyzed protein as a primary ingredient, which won't aid you in growth. By a decent casein/egg blend instead. Get your 1.5g/lb from decent sources.

Just about.
I get powerbars at costco, 24 bucks for a case.

not great for high protein diet or whatever but..

balance bars are cheap.. 15g of protein per bar and they dont taste like crap.. again not the best ingredients either

Well stay away from Protein bars they're shit.

If you do it do the the CKD and read up on MR.X's stuff.

Why are they shit? Seems to me, just another convenient way to add extra protein to your diet.

Preservatives and HI GI sugars used to make them. Whats the point in consuming a low GI protein if your going to throw your bodies GI out of wack with bars?

i think it was the Balance bars. i didn't care too much for Uturn bars.

balance bars have 15-17g protein. quick snack with i think 300 calories. can't remember offhand.

Gee, I don't know Wodin. I need to study up more on dieting. Why does it even matter if it's just a snack between meals? You're still getting possibly needed protein? I'm not all that familiar with the GI thing and how it works.

The whole purpose of a High Protein diet is to cut fat without sacrificing a lot of calories. This is accomplished because the high protein foods produce a low GI index in your diet meaning that they don't just automatically store as fat in your body.

High GI foods, like Donuts, they go straight to fat. Low GI foods, like a steak, they go to help make your body work and burn energy first and then the excess goes to waste and fat.

Any concrete science behind this or is it just a theory? A donut will not go straight to fat if you are eating under the calories needed to maintain your weight. Like if you only had 1500 calories for the day, that donut is gonna get burned? Thanks for the info. Reminds me of how much I still need to know and that reaching my goal is still possible.

Tons of concrete science behind this.

Read up on Mr. x's stuff on the diet board. Good things abound there.

Thanks, I will do this. It's coming back to me now. Seems I read that the high GI of certain carbs can be countereffected by adding protein and fat with the meal. Time to get in the shower.
