I need some Protein bars

[SoreArms]

OK, I know most protein bars are full of junk and are generally no good. However, my work schedule is going to be pretty hectic for a few months and there will be times when I will not have time to get to my desk and eat or drink a shake. I don't want to go without eating so a protein bar might be the best alternative for me. What are some of the better protein bars out there?

I checked these out this weekend. I bought a Myoplex cookies and cream carb sense to see how it tasted, it has 21g of carbs, which isn't really low carb, but the wrapper says something like only 2g of impact carbs. WTF?! Dietary fiber 2g, sugars 0, other carbs 19g.

I'm confused

the rest of the carbs are sugar alcohols, carbs that are supposed to be very 'slow digesting' so as not to have an effect on insulin in the body

but the jury is still out on that in the real world for sure!

what I'm mostly confused about is how to treat these carbs. When I log my meals, do I ignore 19g of carbs and only log 2g, or do I log them all? I'm guessing that it would be best to log them all in which case they do not fit into my diet.

Any 2-3g (total) carb bars out there?
