need help w/ protein bar

[smr91481]

i'm going tomorrow to pick up some protein bars from smoothie king. it's gonna be for after my workouts. what's a decent tasting one that i could get?

try the new Crunchy Chocolate Crisp nitro-tech bar....not the biggest muscle-tech fan ever, but man, it's yummy....

...and my all-time favorite Pure Protein S'mores.....

...i could go on and on...Designer Gourmet bars are all pretty tasty - except for the ABSberry...i don't like that one....Chocolate Malted Muscles is to die for!! ***drool***

BE CAREFUL-ALOT OF BARS CLAIM TO BE LOW CARB, BUT IF YOU READ THE LABEL THEY HAVE ALOT OF SUGAR ALCOHOL-THIS CAUSES AN INSULIN SPIKE WHICH NEGATES THE POINT OF LOW CARBS-THE BEST BARS THAT DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM ARE PURE PRO BARS BY ABB

 

[Stryc-9]

the hidden carb problem of glycerin and other sugar alchohols (maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, etc.,) is definitely noteworthy -

the manufacturer's ought to list how much sugar alcohol they put in those bars - it's kind of sneaky....

but I'm not so sure that sugar alcohol causes a drastic insulin spike...

I've been eating these bars for years and I've always maintained a lean physique....but maybe it's just my metabolism....

Well glycerin, for one, is always accounted for on the wrappers. It says: "effect on glucose in body is negligible, so does not count as a carb."

I messed that up, but it's something like that.

I LOVE the Doctor's Low Carb Smores. Serendipitously, they are also the least expensive!!!

yes-but the sugar spikes your insulin

The designer protien bars are awsome..my favorite flavor is peanut betterbody..lol, seriously


peace

yes-but the sugar spikes your insulin

Does that include glycerin? Again, the wrapper says the effect on blood sugar is negligible.

 

[diamonddiceclay]

sugar alcohol is what causes the spike

It will spike it, but its only going to be noticeable to us who are on stricktly low LOW carb diets. If your taking in 300 grams of carbs, your not going to notice.
