    I have not as I found other protein bars with higher protein totals. I love the pure protein bars. 19 or 20 grams of protein per bar, 200 calories and 2 grams of sugar. Oh and the best part? They are delicious!

    I've never tried them. They, oddly enough because they are Atkins, are loaded with carbohydrates, and that scared me off. :/
    highest pre-surgery (2/2013) 419 lbs
    lowest post-surgery (4/2014) 245 lbs
    highest pst-surg regain (1/2020) 362 lbs

    I hv used them I'll make using the peanut butier chocolate bar. Don't like it as much as the caramel nouget choc bar, very good. But as i was saying the current peanut butter one has 17 grams protein 23 carbs. Deduct the 9 grams fiber deduct 11grams sugar alcohols and not bad. They really help me with my cravings. ♡

    I have tried a couple of them. The chocolate decadence bar is really good, but only has 9 grams of protein. The reason I found them most useful is when I was really constipated the sugar alcohol in them relieved my constipation - but also made me really gassy. Some of them have kind of a strange taste in my opinion - probably the sugar alcohols. As others have said, they aren't the highest in protein.
