    Default Atkins bars

    Hello , everyone kinda has their own ideas on them, now as far as taste is concerned the chocolate nut nougat bat, or endulgence caramel nut chew bar, the M&Ms looking kinds are awesome. Based off what ur doc says or nutritionist, button for me along with sugar free pudding, bur gotta use real milk with that. It has helped me with my horrible sweet tooth. Mine did not lv when my ghrenlin was removed as they tell you. But they are a bit pricey and totally worth it. Good luck sweetie!

    Never tried them, because they don't have enough protein for the calories for me. The meal bars aren't too bad, but the snack bars have pretty low protein for a so called "protein bar".

    They are fine - although I prefer Quest bars (which are more expensive). You need to watch out for the sugar alcohols, though. I find that post-surgery, they cause cramping and diarrhea.

    I eat the Pure Protein brand of bars...they have anywhere from 18 to 21 grams of protein per bar, which makes them worth it to me as far as protein content is concerned. In addition, they all have less than 5 grams of sugar, taste decent, and cost about $1 per bar at places like WalMart and Albertson's.
