most of the clif bars are pretty good except for the carrot cake one. that one just tastes like cardboard.

I found the perfect source "Pure Protein Egg Whites" Sold at local grocery store in the Egg's Section!!

Ill eat scrambled eggs all day with ketchup and tabasco.

 

I fill a small tupperware container with a days worth of ISOPURE Zero carb Strawberry. I bring to work and gym. It mixes so easy with water that a styrofoam coffee cup and stir stick work great. It actually tastes Ok too. I could never do this with Designer or Optimum...waaay too lumpy.

The new Detour/U-Turn bars are good. I used to eat the BIG MetRX bars if I was traveling w/o a lunch. The Mint Choc Chip was like cookie dough but $$$. That bar was so big... it stuffed me.

 

I definetly recomend the Detour bars or the Oneway which taste just like a snickers bar. Trust me try one of those and you'll forget about that nasty tasting bar you ate.

 

Every "pure protein" bar I've tried is nasty.

Like others have said, the u-turn and detour bars taste almost exactly like a real candy bar.

My bar of choice right now is the EAS Myoplex lite cinnamon roll crisp. It doesn't have as much protein as other bars (only 15g), but it's pretty low in cal and it tastes great.

 

Lean Body bars are pretty good. Mint Choc. Chip, PBJ, and Cookies and Creme aren't bad. Like others have said, Detour, U-Turn and Oneway are very candybar-like and palatable too.

 

Smoothies with added protein are the greatest, I do them whenever possible over getting a bar, granted they are $5 each or more...so not too often

 

$3 a bar? With that price, there better be some real diamonds in there. I'd chew on diamonds for that price.

 

That's too funny. An old friend was working out, building chimneys, and using some protein supplement. We would go out a few night a week, and damn, if he didn't have the nastiest gut ever! I have stayed away from the stuff ever since - what's the use of having a killer body if no-one wants to be around you

Just a question: if you are working out, and want a protein fix, what the hell is wrong with having a steak or something? Hell, a BK without the bun tastes better than a protein bar, and costs less, and is pretty much all protein, vs. a candy bar with "protein supplements." Do you really need to concern yourself with the very small amount of fat on a lean steak if you burn hundreds of calories in your sleep, considering you are wiling to consume sugars to make your protein bar palatable? What gives?
